As a six-year resident of the Blackhawk area and a 13-year resident of Pflugerville, I like to keep an eye on the market values here in the area.  When the toll roads opened about a year ago, the prices started trending upward and they have continued to appreciate overall, although more slowly right now, with some tough economic factors at play.  As a fellow homeowner in Blackhawk, this stuff is important to me, too! 

Currently, there are 17 resale homes available on the MLS in the Fairways, with an average asking price of $256,210.  The average square footage for these homes is 2,834, for an average price per square foot of $92.17.  This is a couple of dollars higher than the previous quarter.

Presently, there are 5 homes under contract in the subdivision, with an average listing price of $231,105 and an average square footage of 2,507, yielding an average price per square foot of $92.18. 

Over the past three months (June through August 2008), there were only 2 sales closed within the Fairways of Blackhawk.  Averages don't mean a whole lot when there are only two numbers to deal with, but one of them sold in the $280's, and the other one was in the mid-$230's. 

In other area news:

Located at the southwest corner of the intersection of the aforementioned toll roads (45 and 130), Stone Hill Town Center is slated to open within a few months, and it promises over 1,000,000 square feet of shopping and entertainment.  Home Depot is now open, soon to be followed by Best Buy, Chili's, several retail clothing stores, a large Cinemark theater, 24-Hour Fitness, and much more.
