78730: River Place Inventory hits 14 year low!! - 12/20/08 11:34 AM
Yes there is alot of negative news in the market place, but in a few communities in Austin, INVENTORIES are shockingly low.  River Place in Northwest Austin has only 33 homes on the market of 1014 homes.  Normally inventory runs from the low 50's this time of year to the high 70's in the summertime.  The peak inventory hit at 118 during 2003 which was the bottom of the market during the dot com crises.


I have been through 4 down markets and never have been in a situation where the demand was down at the same time the inventory … (0 comments)

FARMING???????

Change your thoughts on your concept of FARMING a community.  We know that postcards and postcards are or have become cost ineffective.  We have sense been focusing on internet activities to reach our sphere or farm.  Bear in mind, that is all great, but we need to b careful that we are not giving up the farm for the internet as the majority of our business comes from our personal contact, not our non-personal contacts.  So what do we do without paying an arm and a leg.

78730: Austin's River Place Elementary: An Exempary Experience - 11/08/08 01:45 PM
 13 years ago, areas in west Austin, such as River Place, Steiner Ranch, Westminster Glen, Long Canyon struggled with being very upscale communities with the lack of high quality schools in the area.  Thus, most parents enrolled their children in private schools.

Oh, what a difference we have experienced.  Now Leander School district is considered one of the most admired school districts anywhere.  Now, people come to Austin looking not for the Eanes school district anymore, but now have a tremendous opportunity of some of the top schools in Austin....if not the state.  We will match any school in the … (0 comments)

78730: Steiner Ranch Austin: The MARKET IS UP!!!!! - 11/08/08 12:33 PM
 The election is over and positive change is occurring in Steiner Ranch.  No matter what your political beliefs I strongly believe that there has been pin up demand merely waiting for the decision.  For the first time this year, we have seen an increase in sales from last year in Steiner....and a massive reduction in inventory.  Note the trend over the year......Austin is ready to explode for an incredible year for 2009.  Hang on...

78730: Election has stopped: Sales are starting!!!!!! - 11/08/08 12:17 PM
A very surprising report for the OCTOBER area (River North (RN)) considering the election had yet to occur, and the stock market was bouncing like a yo-yo.  (Note that the RN area covers a box from Volente road on west side; Hwy 360 on the east side; R2222 on the north side (+Grandview Hills) and Lake Austin on the south side.)
 
Though we are far from being out of the woods, the overall sales and inventory stats are very, very encouraging, as they are showing a movement to an improved market rather than the news our media is presenting, that … (0 comments)
