With view property commanding more money than ever in Wimberley, I strongly reommend that sellers spend $200, $300 even a $1,000 to open up a view by cutting Cedar out of the view parameter. With mid level views commanding $20,000 - $30,000 per acre in the Wimberley Valley, it makes sound economic sense to invest a little, for a greater and faster return on the sellers money. Buyers do not want to imagine the view, they want to experience it. I recently represented a seller on ... Read More »

When I am called asking about Woodcreek. My initial response is " Which Woodcreek ? " You see there are three Woodcreek areas in Wimberley where the legal description contains the word Woodcreek but they are different entities with different locations. But let's back up.
