brentwood neighborhood: Brentwood Neighborhood Stats Unpacked - 07/05/22 12:10 PM
If you're scanning in to read this then you already know that June sales look.... ummmm ....a little crazy in Brentwood. Headlines all over the place are reading impending doom with rising inventory, leveling sales prices, and fewer and fewer buyers... so how did Brentwood manage to increase it's sales price and decrease its days on market? 
Three of the 9 sales in June were listed above $2,000,000 and closed quickly, which  significantly increased the overall average sales price in the area. While we have some beautiful newer construction set to close in July, I would not expect to see these higher … (1 comments)

brentwood neighborhood: Brentwood October Stats (Austin, TX 78757) - 11/04/21 01:45 PM
We have been digesting the numbers from last month for Midtown's popular neighborhood Brentwood. If you've been following my blog past months, October looks like we took a sharpe dip in values....HOWEVER, the devil is in the details.  Of the sales last month, only 1 home toped the $1M mark.  A majority of the homes were sales that went to developers, including my listing at 6107 Grover Ave.  There were no new construction sales last month, or many larger homes which traditional push the averages higher.
Under contract- 10Sales in October - 10Avg. list- $728,400Avg. sold price- $766,650Avg. DOM- 15Avg. sq ft … (5 comments)

brentwood neighborhood: August 2021 Statistics in Brentwood (Austin 78757) - 09/03/21 01:30 PM
The Dog Days of Summer are upon us, and Fall is hopefully around the corner. I mean pumpkin spice lattes are out already!  There are indicators we are starting to balance ever so slightly in the Austin market, but the seasonal August lull seems to have run its course last month. Austinites are taking last minute vacations to cooler temps, preparing for school and folks are all around distracted from real estate.
We are anxious to see what transpired after Labor Day. Typically, the market tends to pick back up in September, and we've had more phone calls with buyers looking to … (2 comments)

brentwood neighborhood: Brentwood / Crestview Year in Review 2016 (Austin's Midtown) - 01/17/17 12:37 PM
How did the Crestview and Brentwood neighborhoods fair during the 2016 housing market?  Curious to see our 3 year market trend?  I have the detailed numbers below, with addition insight.  In broad terms, 2016 proved to be another busy year, but at a slightly more reserved pace.  In Austin we saw a 1.7% increase in home sales over 2015.  The median home price rose 5.8% to $340,000.  Heading into the new year, Austin still remains just below 2 months of available inventory which is below the benchmark of 6.5 months for a balanced market. (Source Austin Board of Realtors)
Let's break down some of the data in … (0 comments)

brentwood neighborhood: Black Star Co-op Pub & Brewery Austin, TX - 01/06/17 09:39 AM
This morning a call for help was posted on the Crestview Neighborhood Association Facebook page.  Black Star Co-op is owned by a community of more than 3,000 individuals and organizations, and they are democratically managed by their Workers' Assembly.  They are sending out an S.O.S, noted below, and need your help to keep the doors open.  It's cold outside and what better way to warm up this weekend!  
Black Star is located along Airport Blvd in the Crestview Commons project right next to the Crestview Station (take the light rail over if you live in other areas of town and ditch … (2 comments)

brentwood neighborhood: Brentwood / Crestview Market Stats ~ November 2016 - 12/07/16 07:21 AM
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.  Talks of interest rate hikes seem to be fueling some added urgency in buyer's minds as well.  While increased rates will impact buyers purchase ability, a small tick up still has us at historically low rates! I was thrilled to buy my first home around a 6.5% - 7% … (1 comments)

brentwood neighborhood: October Stats 2016 ~ Brentwood / Crestview (Austin, TX 78757) - 11/15/16 01:28 AM
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 it will be in the low 70's!
Yes, it's true there seem to be fewer buyers and sellers from now till early January.  HOWEVER, those active players in the market are generally motivated to find a home or sell....because why else would you pass up holiday parties / travels to simply test the waters and … (0 comments)

brentwood neighborhood: Drive-Thru Baby Greens is Back in Austin's Midtown - 11/02/16 01:36 AM
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 couple in town....like A LOT of sandwiches.  They are quick and healthier than many other 'fast - on the go' options.
Now we have a new option near our neighborhood and both offices, Baby Greens, a drive thru salad stop that offers healthy wraps, mixed greens and protein … (1 comments)

brentwood neighborhood: August Stats 2016 ~ Brentwood / Crestview (Austin, TX 78757) - 09/19/16 02:26 AM
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 builders found themselves coming online at the same time and probably took a bit longer than anticipated to complete their projects adding to new construction available.
- I see a few investors who missed the mark, and their flips are sitting with some less than desirable finishes or … (1 comments)

brentwood neighborhood: Burnet Rd Comes Alive in Austin's Midtown - 08/31/16 07:14 AM
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 stood in line for Franklin's BBQ?).  Downtown and SOCO have been on the map for years as popular hotspots, as East Austin explodes with popular eateries and developments. 
Now old sleepy Burnet Road is making a splash in the NY Times as venues relocate or expand for cheaper real estate (a relative term … (0 comments)

brentwood neighborhood: April 2016 Stats ~ Brentwood/Crestview (Austin 78757) - 05/11/16 07:03 AM
If you are following the numbers, and I hope you are, Brentwood looks like it took a nose dive this past month.  Increase in listings and spike in days on the market, with a decrease in avg list price.  However the avg sales price increased by nearly $30,000.  There was a main contributor to the high days on market with one listing taking 334 days before realizing the home was overpriced.  In the end, they accepted $70,000 less than the original list price.
Crestview maintained fairly consistent numbers with a rise in avg list price.  There are several new construction homes that … (3 comments)

brentwood neighborhood: 2003 Brentwood St Austin, TX 78757 (Brentwood/Crestview) - 03/23/16 08:31 AM
Spring is in full force now, and this little gem in Brentwood is ready for new owners to make it their own.  Not very often does a 2bed / 2bath pop up in the neighborhood, and this one is move-in ready with some easy projects for buyers to tackle that would surely add instant value.
Classic red brick facade and situated under a beautiful Oak tree (swing already installed and hung from the massive branch), this home has loads of potential to accentuate the charming curb appeal.  A planter box resides under the front living area windows sport the classic framed screens. … (6 comments)

brentwood neighborhood: Changes Coming to Crestview Shopping Center/IGA Minimax - 01/28/16 06:57 AM
Word is out about the proposed change  at the Crestview Minimax IGA, located in the Crestview Shopping Center just North of Justin Ln on Woodrow Ave.  Arlan's Market appears to be in ongoing negotiations with the current owners, and would expand their presence in Austin to a total of 3 markets (they have 2 in East Austin currently) if everything pans out.  
We learned about the rumor a few weeks ago while dining across the parking lot at The Little Deli & Pizzeria (now famous city wide for their monster sandwiches and delicious pizza, and allows BYOB of your favorite adult beverage). … (1 comments)

brentwood neighborhood: 2015 Year End Home Statistics ~ Brentwood Area Austin, TX 78757 - 01/14/16 10:51 AM
Another year of strong economic and housing growth for Austin is in the books.  The numbers below show prices are still going up and the average days on market signal the fast paced market many buyers are experiencing.  If you are not on the ball and through the door in the first weekend (couple of days), there is a good chance you'll miss out on the next home.
Residents in the Brentwood / Crestview area are seeing more rapid development from a few specific builders that have the ADU (accessory dwelling unit) process down.  This is where they build a larger front … (1 comments)

brentwood neighborhood: Know your product ~ including meanings behind those street names - 05/07/15 01:20 AM
Last week's closing was a great celebration for one of my favorite buyer clients.  The hunt lasted a bit longer due to our low inventory levels in Central / East Austin, but we finally found the perfect home and won out in a biddig war.  During the added time working together we developed a deeper relationship and built a friendship.  We now live in the same neighborhood and will surely run into each other at local coffee shops / restaurants.
While signing they asked if I had ever been to Palo Duro Canyon State Park in the Texas Panhandle (Palo Duro is the … (0 comments)
