Our building, located in The Arboretum Plaza (right behind The Cheesecake Factory) had a fire drill Friday at 2:30pm.  They did notify us ahead of time it was going to happen and even treated everyone to Austin's world famous Amy's Ice Cream in the park!

78726: Canyon Creek Homes Are Selling, But For Less. - 10/06/09 08:33 AM

 
 

In comparing the statistics from 3rd quarter 2008 to 2009 you can see there is a 68.75% increase in the number of home sold!  However, the average sold price decreased by 8.67%.  The combination of low interest rates, declining prices and the added $8,000 tax credit incentive has brought a surge in home sales in the third quarter.  Many buyers found it's a great time to make a value price purchase.  In order to take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit, homes must close by December 1, 2009.  We have sold 38.5% of the homes in Canyon … (4 comments)

78726: Do You Run Into or Over Your Competition? - 09/21/09 08:42 AM


There are many Realtors out there competiting for listings.  Do you find sellers are interviewing more agents to get the best value for their money?  I am finding in today's market the seller wants results!  They expect all the stops pulled out for their home in today's market.  Do you have systems in place to handle your inventory?  Do you have a well-recognized website that is updated continuously?  Do you offer personalized video tours?  Do you showcase your homes prominently on your website, your company's website, Realtor.com, Trulia, Zillow, Yahoo.com, etc.?  Do you offer color brochures: inside and outside?
