Community-Wide Open House in Teravista Today

2011-03-04T00:05:00Z

Today is a great day for buyers to check out the golf course community of Teravista in Round Rock! From 1 - 5pm, 10 resale homes will be held open by local Realtors. Five new model homes will also be held open and the developer of the community is also hosting a celebration in honor of the opening of the Discovery Park in Teravista.

Visit 4196 Engadina Pass first in order to receive a map of the open house tour. You'll receive a sticker at each of the resale homes you visit on the open house tour, and if you visit at least four of the homes you will be entered to win a Lowe's gift certificate!

A title company representative and a contractor for PS Jones will be at a couple of the homes, to help answer your questions. Also, be sure to visit 4229 Fairmeadow Drive where we will have lenders from Supreme Lending on-site to get you up-to-speed with today's lending market and help pre-approve you if you are interested!

They will have the grill fired up at Discovery Park, as well as live music from noon to 6pm! There's never a better time to come and see what Teravista is all about!

Open House in South Austin on Sunday, Dec. 19th

2010-12-19T16:07:00Z

On your way to finishing up your Christmas shopping today, stop by our open house at 2614 Davis Lane in South Austin.

Located just west of the Manchaca and Davis Lane intersection, this South Austin home is less than 5 miles from the shops at Brodie Lane / Sunset Valley and 6.5 miles to the Barton Creek Mall.

Once you get to the open house, you'll immediately notice that this home is not your typical South Austin home! It sits on 1.53 acres that create a park-like setting around your home. Large shade trees and native plants are plentiful in the yard. Although the seller is selling the property as one - the buyer can take the already legally separated land and build on the near-acre that is adjacent to the home. Please call the listing agent, Susanna Orr, for more information about the property details: (512) 736-8806.

The price of this home has also recently been reduced, so be sure to stop by even if you've visited a previous open house! The open house is from 1-4 pm, (Dec. 19th), and if you are unable to attend, contact us for a private showing or to learn about future open house dates.

Are Home Sales Increasing in ShadowGlen?

2009-12-30T04:20:00Z

First, I would like to say congratulations to my clients who just sold their ShadowGlen home!

Looking at the most recent sales activity in ShadowGlen, I am noticing that home sales have picked up quite a bit. Only a few months ago there were over 40 homes actively for sale in ShadowGlen, today there are only 30 (this includes mostly resale homes on our MLS system). Maybe this is because fewer sellers feel confident placing their home on the market during the holidays, but I think the numbers in the next paragraph may help dissolve that fear!

Currently there are five homes in 'pending' status - which I would say is slightly above or at average for the golf course community. Best of all, our MLS system is showing that 16 homes (including my clients above!) have sold in the last 90 days (this may not be including homes from the builder that never made it to the MLS system).

Builder incentives and the tax credit that expires in four months may be attributing to this increase in activity - and not just in ShadowGlen, but across the Austin market as a whole. But, compared to all of the negative news that we've heard nationally about the housing markets, I think this is great for our local homeowners and I hope for more good news in the New Year!

Where to Recycle Your Christmas Tree in Austin

2009-12-30T03:28:00Z

If you live in near central Austin and are looking for a place to recycle your Christmas tree, Zilker Park will be the place to go this weekend.

The City of Austin will be taking trees from 10am to 4pm Jan. 2nd & 3rd, as well as the 9th.

Soon after, you will also be able to pick up free Christmas tree mulch that has been provided by those recylced trees at Zilker Park. Just be sure to bring your own bags and be ready to do most of the work yourself.

This is just another one of the million reasons why I love Austin. There aren't too many cities that provide services like this and care so much about keeping it GREEN!

Austin Homes Still Selling During the Holidays

2009-12-26T23:42:00Z

Congratulations to my clients who sold their north Austin home right before the Christmas holiday!

Around the winter months, and especially the holidays, it seems that buyers slow down a bit. However, I think this year has been a little different and has been quite busy with buyers! I think it may have something to do with the tax credit and buyers not wanting to wait until the last minute (must be under contract by April 30th to receive the tax credit).

If you would like to receive more information about recent market activity in Austin, contact me today.

Happy Holidays Austin!
