travis county real estate: Real Estate - Austin TX - Foreclosures are Not very Prevalent
- 03/10/10 06:47 AM
I get calls and emails all the time from Austin TX Home Buyers saying "I want to buy a foreclosure because I want a deal!" Well, I'm here to say, "Stop watching the National News!!" I'll tell you up front, yes, sometimes, you can find a good deal. However, EVERYONE is looking for the same great deal so it's usually gone before you even hear about it. Here is what is going on around the Austin TX area. We do not have the foreclosure market like other areas of the countries. To show you facts, I pulled up several zip codes. … (13 comments)

- 01/05/10 02:05 AM
Have you resolved to change your ways in 2010? If you need help figuring out where to start, I highly recommend Claudia Wicks' new book, Make the Move: How to Move Your Real Estate Business Online.

It's all about how almost all my business is created from something I do online. Why else is this a great book? Do you really need another reason? I already told … (19 comments)

travis county real estate: Rates Have Gone Up, How Much Buying Power Did You Lose?
- 12/23/09 07:28 AM
Rates have moved above 5% again... how much buying power did you just lose? Buying power? What do you mean?Your Buying Power is about how much you can afford and at what price. The best buying power is when you can buy as much as you want for as little as you can.
Huh?Let's put it to numbers...At a 4.5% 30 year fixed mortgage with 5% down, you could buy a house at $250,000 and pay a mere $1203.38 a month (not including taxes and insurance).At a 5% 30 year fixed mortgage with 5% down, you could buy that same house … (10 comments)

I'm not paying her to do anything else.

travis county real estate: Even During the Holidays, Presentation is Important!
- 11/24/09 04:40 AM
When selling a house, besides price, I would say the presentation is the most important thing, wouldn't you? When you're selling your house, don't you want to give the impression that you would entertain a quick closing if presented with an offer today, to close in less than 30 days? I understand we're approaching the Holiday Season, however, the below house has had Holiday lights and decorations up on his house for over three weeks already. Yes, right after Halloween. I drive by this house everyday, and just shake my head.
When I have a buyer who is looking … (18 comments)

travis county real estate: Austin TX Wildlife - Austin TX Insects
- 09/06/09 07:41 AM
I've been having fun capturing all the interesting Austin TX Wildlife and Austin TX Insects that I'm finding around my house and neighborhood. Backing to a wooded, greenbelt area brings in more creatures than interior properties.
This one actually stopped flying long enough for me to get a pretty good picture of it. No blurry, flapping wings, but completely in focus.
It's beautiful!

travis county real estate: Real Estate - Buying a House - Austin TX- The Simple Steps to Follow- Part 3
- 08/17/09 02:07 AM
When buying a house in Austin TX, there are several steps to follow, but if broken down, it's much less intimidating. What else helps? Doing the steps in a particular order.
For example, Part 1 of buying a house in Austin TX talked about getting Pre-Approved for a mortgage, while Part 2 talked about how to start looking for houses and neighborhoods.
The third step is how to go about looking at the insides of houses. Yes, it's very important to know what you're looking for so you're not just walking in and out of houses wasting a lot of … (6 comments)

travis county real estate: Relaxing Weekend on Lake Austin
- 08/16/09 06:15 AM
My parents came down to visit this weekend, and boy did we have a blast! My step father has never been here, so we gave him the five cent tour via boat.
We saw a few houses...
We saw the Austin Duck Adventures bus float by. This is pretty cool because it's a real bus and drives on real roads, but then it just goes down the ramp and into the water and floats like a boat.
Both my mom and step father went in the tube for their very first times ever.
Alyssa and I had … (3 comments)

travis county real estate: The Best City for Recession Recovery is Austin TX
- 07/27/09 05:47 AM
According to Forbes, the Austin-Round Rock, TX area is the BEST city for Recession Recovery across the country.
Why? Many factors...
One is that unemployment is low at 5.8% (however, the local news reported unemployment even lower, at 5.4% so I'm not sure which number is correct).
Second is that the area has a very diverse economy from Tech jobs at Dell to Government jobs at the State Capital, to Teaching jobs at The University of Texas.
Third is that Austin, like many Texas cities, did not have a "bubble" like what happened in other states. Granted, there are pockets of … (4 comments)

travis county real estate: Spanish Oak Trees Having an Identity Crisis!
- 07/27/09 04:27 AM
I have a couple of Spanish Oak trees in my backyard, and I also back up to a Natural Greenbelt area with thousands of Spanish Oaks.
Here is a picture of the leaves on the Spanish Oak tree:
Well, it looks like my trees are having an identity crisis. Look at the leaves that are currently growing in clusters all over the trees...
What is this, and why is it happening? They are two very distinctive kinds of leaves. These trees have to be OLD as this was untouched land prior to my community of Falconhead West being built … (9 comments)

Falconhead West in Bee Cave, TX, a small suburb just West of Austin, TX, is growing and growing so fast!
Just a few weeks ago, I talked about how the Builders had sold all but a couple of their inventory homes, and new construction had slowed down a bit... and then all of a sudden, new house after new house started going up.
There are currently approximately 20 houses in various stages of building. Some are in frame stage.
Some are in Sheetrock and Exterior stage, such as stucco, stone, or brick.
