North Central Austin

Happy Holidays! We are in the final stretch of 2016 and in another week we should see things finally start to slow as people break for vacation and time with families.  I've seen continued activity, and been busy with a couple of buyers who are trying to lock something down before we enter Spring...

Already feeling a bit overwhelmed by the rapidly approaching holidays?  How are you going to complete that shopping list or squeeze all those parties into one month?  Take time this weekend to relax at the Violet Crown Arts Festival, while shopping for one of a kind gift ideas and catch a little...

It's hard to believe we inside Thanksgiving week!  The holidays kick in another gear with each passing day, and as such, buyers / sellers attention gets a little more distracted away from real estate.  This DOES NOT mean real estate hibernates through winter, especially in Austin, TX where today ...

I'm on the go....all the time.  Meals are generally rushed heading to the next appointment and trying to pack as much as I can into the day so evenings are for the family.  My wife and I try to fuel our training with healthier meals, but we both work.  We probably consume more sandwiches than any...

One of my favorite things about 103 Loyola Dr, aside from the close proximity to Pecan St in old downtown Pflugerville or near by park, is the curb appeal.  I've always enjoyed the look of a swing entry garage, and the traditional red brick exterior make this home a top pick.  With a swing garage...

Katie Ledecky, a name you might have heard amongst all the Michael Phelps chatter during the 2012 Olympic games in London.  She won gold as a 15year old in the 800 meter freestyle.  Four years later she dominated the pool in Rio taking home 4 gold medals and a silver, plus a couple of world recor...

Fall is around the corner (at least I hope cooler temperatures are on the way) and another Summer real estate season is in the books.  The monthly numbers for August are below and I take a few things away heading into Q4 that impact the level of inventory and days on market.  - A number of builde...

When my family moved here in Fall of '81 we landed in North Austin.  Not just North Austin, but at the time Anderson Mill Rd and 183 was faaarrrr North Austin. There was no Arboretum or Domain, Lakeline did not exist and there certainly was no upper / lower deck of 183!For our family there was no...

I don't generally share much family insight, but August and September are big months in our house.  We have 3 birthdays and my wife and I's wedding anniversary.With Hudson's arrival 4 years ago, my wife and I nearly spent our 1st wedding anniversary in the hospital.  Instead, we were released jus...

There is no putting the toothpaste back in the bottle, the secret about Austin is over.  Like it or not, we are on the national and international tourist scene for live music venues (ACL Festival is right around the corner), Formula 1 races, bat watching and a growing foodie destination (have you...
