austin central: 4428 Camacho Street, Austin, TX 78723 - 06/06/11 04:13 PM
4428 Camacho St Austin TX 78723 is for sale in Mueller right now. It's a popular Meritage floorplan, and there have been one other of this plan resold since the start of 2010, with one currently pending on Antone Street.
The thing that I like about the 1902 floorplan (all the plans have names which vary depending on the elevation, though they all share the number 1902) is the two living spaces. It has a master down which is pretty popular, in addition to two full bathrooms and the second bedroom. There's an open living, dining kitchen, which in this home … (4 comments)

austin central: North Loop: A Rising Austin Neighborhood! - 12/11/09 03:35 PM
Central Austin: North Loop was at one time an oft-forgotten part of Austin's funkiness that everyone has come to know and love. These days, however, the area has seen some really great development and the retail in the area rivals other "kitschy" parts of town like South Congress or "The Drag" on Guadalupe. The origin of "North Loop's" name comes from the main thoroughfare running through this small but vibrant neighborhood: North Loop Boulevard, located between and running parallel to Koenig Lane and 51st Street. Along this stretch you will find a lot of neat little shops and restaurants, like Epoch, … (0 comments)

austin central: Hyde Park and Rosedale Realtor Tour - A Valuable Process for Sellers - 04/13/09 03:59 PM
What value is putting your Central Austin home for sale on a Realtor tour?
I put my Patterson Heights / Hyde Park listing on the Austin Area 4 Realtor tour this morning. I got some valuable feedback from agents who work in Rosedale and Hyde Park.
There were 9 agents on the tour - all of whom had homes for sale in the area. It's harder to find a more experienced group of agents in the area than by looking at who is helping sellers there right now.
So the Realtor tour provides micro-targeting - marketing to people who have active … (0 comments)

austin central: Central and East Austin Homes - How Green is My Green Home? Part III - 10/02/08 10:14 PM
Many homesellers in Central Austin are now advertising their homes as "green homes" with "three star green" ratings. In part II of this series I looked at some of the rating systems, and in this part, I look at how this is shown in the Austin MLS.
The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a searchable database system of REALTOR® listed homes for sale. One of the recently added fields to search by is "Green Building Rating", which allows these values to be entered:

austin central: Central and East Austin - How Green is My Green Home? Part II - 10/02/08 10:13 PM
Increasingly, Austin home listings contain "green" marketing as shown in the graph below. This article, part II of IV, looks at the certification programs and demystifies what it means when a builder claims a home is "four star green". The graph on the right summarizes MLS data for Central and East Austin in the last few years. The word "green" is no longer just used to describe the color of the walls, but now is an overloaded word. With different organizations giving green brownie points, it's important to know which scheme is which.

austin central: Is now a good time to buy Real Estate in Central Austin? - 10/02/08 02:37 PM
Is it a good time to buy a Central Austin home? This is a question I get asked on a regular basis, and there is no simple answer. Two groups of people ask me this - homebuyers and investors.
The "average" Texas homebuyer remains in a home for 5-6 years, and when they sell their home, they buy another one. It's a long term game - and if you sell a house in the market and buy in the same market, then you're effectively in the market for the long term.
In the long term, housing has increased in value. Central … (0 comments)

austin central: Central and East Austin Real Esate - On the Up and Up? - 10/02/08 02:19 PM
The Austin Metropolitan real estate market shows a minimal risk of house price depreciation in the next two years according to a risk report by PMI. This is not the picture in many of the other metropolitan areas in the US. This once again shows that despite the national economy impacting real estate, real estate market data must additionally be analyzed locally to get the full picture.
I found the report in an article called Risk of Home Price Declines Intensifies in Q2. The article cites the Economic and Real Estate Trends report from PMI, a quarterly report analyzing data from … (0 comments)

For many Austinites, a home purchase is the largest they will ever make. First time homebuyers can easily get caught in information overload, and figuring out how much to offer for your ideal home can be a big decision.

The list price may be out of line with the market. Your REALTOR® will be able to give you an idea of recent comparable sales prices, and formulate an opinion on value in the market. … (0 comments)

austin central: Central and East Austin - A Streetcar Named Desire - 09/10/08 09:50 AM
At one of the recent meetings hosted by the City of Austin's Downtown Austin Plan team, the proposed streetcar was presented. What are some of the challenges and possible impacts on real estate along the route?
The City of Austin asked for several features from a new urban rail design - connecting Mueller, UT, Zilker Park and the airport. The resulting streetcar is one way to support and catalyze transit oriented development - which will support the Downtown Austin Plan's goals to increase urban living density.
The map on the left shows the Central Austin portion of the current proposed route. … (0 comments)
