pflugerville real estate: "Between a Rock and a Weird Place" - Pflugerville, Texas Makes Relocation List - 05/22/09 01:12 PM

With its newest marketing slogan, "Pflugerville: Between a Rock and a Weird Place", my current hometown seems poised for even more growth now that it has been named as one of the "Top 100 Places to Live" according to Relocate America.
To briefly explain the saying, Pflugerville is located between Round Rock and Austin, whose city slogan is "Keep Austin Weird". This refers to efforts to support local small businesses as opposed to large chain stores.
I have lived in Pflugerville for over 14 years now, so I know firsthand how great the town is for raising kids. It's quiet, safe, … (18 comments)

pflugerville real estate: Stone Hill Town Center - VIDEO UPDATE - 05/14/09 03:56 PM

Earlier today, I met with my friend Debbie Ates at Wilshire Homes (Commons at Rowe Lane) and she requested that I update my previous video about Stone Hill Town Center.
This new shopping center is located less than two miles from my home in the Blackhawk area. There are plenty of other neighborhoods in the area, including Falcon Pointe, Highland Park North, Commons at Rowe Lane, Villages at Hidden Lake, Avalon, and more.
This video turned out a bit longer than I was planning at almost 4 minutes, but I hope you find it to be helpful. Thanks!

pflugerville real estate: Pflugerville, Texas Home for Sale - Meadows of Blackhawk - INCREDIBLE Price! $149,999 - 02/22/09 06:14 AM

My cousin has his home listed with me, and we are hoping to get it sold soon, as they are looking to purchase a larger home for their growing family. We have reduced it by $15,000 now in an effort to stimulate enough interest to get it sold in the next couple of weeks. We had a very interested buyer who spent 40-45 minutes looking at it yesterday, but we have no offers as of yet.

pflugerville real estate: Considering Buying a Home in Pflugerville? This is the time to buy, and I have data! - 11/15/08 01:29 PM

I have lived in Pflugerville since 1995, when my wife and I bought our first home here. In 2002, we opted to buy our second (much larger) home in this area, too. What made us choose to stay?
Affordability - we have a home that would likely cost at least twice as much in central Austin Convenience - with the advent of the toll roads in 2006, we can get just about anywhere in 15 minutes, including the Prime Outlets/IKEA area, Georgetown, Mopac/Spicewood, etc. It's quiet It's safe I would talk about the schools, but we haven't had first-hand experience with … (13 comments)

pflugerville real estate: New Listing in Pflugerville - 2207 Bethesda Drive - $165,000 - 11/06/08 07:52 AM

I listed a lovely home right around the corner today. They are in the process of building a new, larger home, so despite the fact that they love it here in the area, they need more space for their growing family. At $165,000, this is currently the lowest price by far in the Meadows of Blackhawk.

Features:
3 Bedrooms, 2 Full Bathrooms 1670 s.f. per tax records Built in 1997 by Scott Felder Homes 2 Dining Areas (breakfast room, formal dining) Mature trees (front and back) Large corner lot Island kitchen with a … (6 comments)

pflugerville real estate: Short Sale Listing - Austin Area - $40 per square foot? It's true! - 11/04/08 09:26 AM

One of my agents listed a home yesterday that is priced at $160,000 with 3931 square foot per the county tax records.
This is priced at $40.70 per square foot - amazing! To be fair, the home will probably go for a little higher than the asking price, since we are anticipating multiple offers by Sunday or Monday. Here are a couple of shots from the MLS listing:

Here are the basic features:

pflugerville real estate: Lower property tax rates are coming for Pflugerville! - 10/08/08 09:48 AM

Thanks to the rapid commercial growth occurring in the Pflugerville, Texas area, residents (me included) will continue to see property tax rates decreasing over the next 4-7 years. The Community Impact newspaper featured a story on this in their monthly printed edition, which is generally packed with valuable local information.
I wrote a couple of recent posts about the largest developments, and the construction progress:

According to the press/ads that I have seen so far, it looks like fun. Here are some of the features I noted:

pflugerville real estate: Fairways of Blackhawk - Pflugerville Texas - Brief Market Analysis - Summer 2008 - 09/18/08 05:50 AM

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 comments)

When the toll roads opened about a couple of years ago, the prices started trending upward and they have continued to appreciate for the most part, although things are selling more slowly at the moment. As a fellow homeowner, this stuff is important to me, too!

Currently, there are 19 homes available in the Meadows, with an average asking price of $223,851. The average square footage for these homes is 2,634, for an … (0 comments)

pflugerville real estate: Lake Pflugerville is Getting a New Park and Pavillion - 09/07/08 03:41 PM

By the summer of 2009, Lake Pflugerville is set to receive a number of improvements, to the tune of $800,000. Included in the project will be a park on the north shore, gravel beach, pavilion, two covered and lighted picnic tables, a boat ramp, boat rentals and additional parking.
Yes, that is an actual picture of the lake to the right.
Thankfully for those of us who pay taxes in this area, this money will not be coming from the city itself. Instead, the funds will come from a number of sources, including the LCRA (Lower Colorado River Authority), the Pflugerville … (12 comments)

pflugerville real estate: Stone Hill Town Center - Pflugerville, Texas Shopping - UPDATE! - 09/04/08 02:46 PM

I noticed a few days ago that they began vertical construction (i.e. walls) for what appears to be the new Super Target within Stone Hill Town Center in Pflugerville. Since I live about 1.5 miles from this soon-to-be shopping center, my wife and I are anxiously awaiting its grand opening.
I found the rendering on the left on the website for the developer, New Quest Properties.
Currently, the only store completed and open is Home Depot, but it looks like that will probably change in the near future. There is a free-standing retail building on the eastern edge of the (giant) parking … (24 comments)

pflugerville real estate: Austin's Park - Cool place to take the kids in Pflugerville area! - 08/20/08 04:39 PM

In Pflugerville, along I-35, just north of Grand Avenue Parkway, sits Austin's Park (formerly Austin's Park and Pizza). Although they still serve pizza, they changed the name awhile back. I have taken our family there on a number of occasions to enjoy miniature golf, bumper boats, video games, and the batting cages. They have two full mini golf courses, and they are suitably challenging and fun.
There is also a go-cart track which I think I am too tall to try, along with laser tag, a rock climbing wall, and a tea cup ride, a la DisneyWorld.
Although my kids had … (6 comments)

pflugerville real estate: Steeds Crossing - Pflugerville, Texas Home Sales Report - January through June 2008 - 07/31/08 04:50 AM

As a former resident of Steeds Crossing, and a current resident of nearby Blackhawk, I typically try to keep an eye on the property values in the area. When I was first licensed in real estate almost 12 years ago, my business partner and I walked the neighborhood in order to meet my neighbors and to try to drum up some business. We did it both when it was so cold that our noses were running, and when it was so hot that I still can't believe I wore a tie back then. I guess I am just saying that Steeds … (1 comments)

pflugerville real estate: Pflugerville Pizza and Wing Pfactory - Restaurant Review - 07/12/08 09:45 AM

About five minutes from our home sits the Pflugerville Pizza and Wing Pfactory (not a misspelling - this is how things are typically done around here, as evidenced by my recent post about the first annual Pfireworks Pfestival). We had tried to visit this establishment not too long ago, but I think we went on a holiday, and they were closed, so yesterday was our first official meal there.
Our two-year old has been slowly pushing her nap later into the day, so she decided that 6:30 would make a nice time to konk out in the car on the way there, … (4 comments)

pflugerville real estate: We Had an Awesome Evening for the Fourth! We even got paid to enjoy it! - 07/05/08 04:19 PM

My wife and I took our kids to the First Annual Pflugerville Pfireworks Festival, which was held yesterday evening at Lake Pflugerville. The weather was absolutely perfect, and it cooled off a lot after the sun went down, with a nice breeze as well.
Normally, it would take us about 7 minutes to get there, but with the crowd and parking, it took us about 30 minutes from the time we left the house to the point that we were seated (we brought our own chairs).
There were buses provided from Hendrickson High School, but we chose to scope out … (28 comments)
