Are Home Sales Increasing in ShadowGlen?

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

ShadowGlen Home Sold

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

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

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.
