WAITING FOR MORTGAGE RATES TO DROP BEFORE YOU BUY?

If you’ve put your Boerne or Fair Oaks Ranch home search on hold because you’re waiting for a big drop in mortgage rates, our partner Charley Wasson of Sunflower Real Estate says there’s something you should know first.

Current forecasts aren’t showing the dramatic decline a lot of buyers are hoping for. In fact, experts are projecting rates could remain around the low-to-mid 6% range well into 2027.

But that doesn’t necessarily mean buyers are stuck. Read Charley's blog post to find out what we mean.

A BETTER OPTION FOR THOSE “WHAT DO WE DO NOW?” MOMENTS

Platinum Pediatrics, located at 645 South School Street in Boerne, gives families another option with access to pediatric guidance by phone, text, telemedicine, or in-office visits through their direct care model.

Led by Dr. Mark Rodkey, a board-certified physician in Pediatrics and Pediatric Emergency Medicine with more than 30 years of experience, Platinum Pediatrics makes it easier for families to get the guidance they need without automatically heading to the ER.

Darkside Brick Oven Pizza Co. has added a seriously impressive piece of 1980s nostalgia to its already eclectic space: a DeLorean mounted outside the restaurant. The custom build took an entire year, and visitors can walk underneath it, check it out from every angle, and grab a photo.

While you’re there, grab one of their Texas oak-fired pizzas and explore the movie props and pop culture memorabilia inside. Then head across the bridge to Darkside After Dark for a Predator-themed nightcap.

FRIDAY SPOTLIGHT ON BOERNE HISTORY

The Kendall Inn has been part of Boerne’s story since 1859, when Erastus and Sarah Reed built the two-story Reed House for just $200. It soon became a stop for stagecoach travelers, ranchers, and visitors passing through town.

As Boerne grew, the property expanded into a hotel and was eventually renamed Ye Kendall Inn. Today, it remains a historic hotel, restaurant, and gathering place on Main Plaza.
