New Braunfels 2023 Rewind & 2024 PREDICTIONS

From the ongoing drought to the slow down in the housing market, New Braunfels experienced notable events in 2023, including a huge tax break and news of major projects coming to New Braunfels. What's in store for 2024? Today, the New Braunfels 2023 rewind, a look back at some of the top stories of the year, AND my 2024 predictions for New Braunfels, including what buyers, sellers and investors can expect here, which local projects will stall, weather, property taxes, and much more.

    Raad, Your predictions for 2024 will be pretty much spot on. For instance, eventually interest rates will go down within the 5 percent range around the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2024, more rain, builders offering less incentives on newer homes around the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2024 and population in New Braunfels will continue to grow. 2024 is an election year. Hopefully we'll have Donald J. Trump back in office.

    14:13 Already off to a great start with rain. Near Cloud Country in North New Braunfels they got 1.85" of rain in this last storm according to the NB office of the National Weather Service.

    Happy New Year Read! Thank you for keeping us informed of what is going on in NB. When people ask me about NB, I just send them your videos as you provide lots of helpful information. I just had a friend wanting to move to NB so I gave him your contact. Hope he reaches out to you. Thank you again for your weekly videos.

    Always good to reflect on the past year! Your predictions were almost all spot on. Hopefully more rain in 2024 and better interest rates! We are wanting to get a home equity loan and build a new shop in our backyard. The lower interest rate would help 🤩 Hapoy New Year, Raad!

    I'll be one of the additional 4k new residents, well in the NB area. When someone like PF Chang's open an establishment in an affordable area, they bring their higher prices. I tried PF here in Hawaii, however, their food is not much better than any other Asian restaurants, just their higher prices. Same will happen in NB. NB is becoming overcrowded, so I will have to look outside of NB.

    New Braunfels became a police state years ago. Swimming at the Landa Park chute saw 14 police within eyesight. People were swimming and enjoying the water, police did not belong at all and no lifeguards in sight. Pathetic.

    ​@@auramdickerson112 right. it's not the same. you're right. the core is still the same. the people, the hyper local businesses, Gruene, hill country. Any attractive city/town changes. People moving in like it for the same reasons you do/did. can you blame them? But the population bump doesn't take away the essence. At it's core, New Braunfels is still small town vibes. We have Alpine Haus and Krause's...
