crestview: 1805 Justin Ln | Austin, TX 78757 | Multiple Structures - 04/20/23 08:35 AM
We don't see property like this in Midtown very often. Which is why this rare opportunity is already UNDER CONTRACT! The owners and I put together a strategy that started back in December. They executed on the touchup items and our amazing stager Brian David Design put on the finishing touches to really showcase this property. Hats off to Travis at Twist Tours for years of incredible photography that captures the best of my listings, but doesn't over promise!

crestview: New Construction in Midtown ATX | 78757 | Crestview - 02/21/23 09:23 AM
This is the video we were queuing up to promote our Midtown project had things not moved so quickly and buyers gobbled them up. Both units were snatched up over the holidays (one before we even made it MLS). A few thank you's to some integral folks who helped make this happen.
👍🏼 Hats off to @notionsdesignbuild for helping us bring together our initial vision and working with us for a refined design, and then pushing through all the pandemic construction hurdles. Too many times people rush the process early on, and make costly layout issues that don't come to light … (2 comments)

My latest listing in Midtown at 1304 Richcreek Rd, Unit B is special! Not just because I believe it to be stunning and fills a gap in our market, but I was personally involved with the creation of this project with my business partner (although there was help from many in pulling this vision together).
The backstory is below, but let's talk about this 2 unit project and side B which has been staged and launched in MLS:
Nestled in the heart of Crestview on arguably one of the most coveted streets, this new construction showcases quintessential modern Scandinavian design with luxury, high-end … (7 comments)

crestview: 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)

crestview: Brentwood Neighborhood (Austin, TX 78757) '20 vs '21 - 08/03/21 02:14 PM
What a difference a year makes in our real estate market and the year is not over yet!
There was a pivot in our market early January 2021, and we went from a strong Sellers market to a hyper competitive Sellers market. We weren't just seeing a few offers on a property, but 10-20+ offers on a single home.  Buyers were including appraisal waivers (if you don't know about this, you should before entering the market as a buyer or seller), offering insanely high option fees (making it very painful to terminate after inspections) and obviously going well over initial asking … (0 comments)

Lil' Lane of Lights  This year the Violet Crown Clubhouse and the Episcopal Church are working together to create a fun light display for the Crestview / Brentwood neighborhoods, and are asking people to add some Holiday cheer by brightening up their homes in the neighborhood since this year is going to look a little different for most families who are not able to get together.

crestview: Community impact / repurpose in Crestview Neighborhood Austin, TX - 09/09/20 09:21 AM
 
Austin is going to be turning the Ryan Drive storage lot into more housing and parkland development. Austin Energy purchased the 5.5 acres on the edge of Crestview in 1997, where it has been using the site for operation storage. This has been an ongoing discussion for years, privately among neighborhood residents wanting something more useful, and now publicly as the city of Austin finally decided to take initiative and move forward with the restoration plan. For many who live in the surrounding communities of Brentwood and Crestview, the cluttered storage has been an eyesore.

The heart of the home truly centers around the kitchen which overlooks the main family room via a bartop and boasts valuable prep space on … (7 comments)

How adorable is this space at my turnkey ready listing in Crestview? This hallway has a selection of light blue and white textured wallpaper to showcase the area. My clients really know how to take advantage of their small space and showcase this room in the best lighting possible with the combination of colors and the use of textures.
 
Some people prefer wallpaper over paint because of its greater longevity, meaning that you won't have to go back and refinish the walls for years, or even decades. Taking advantage of trends in interior design such as wallpaper, is a great way to add aestethics … (8 comments)
