Tim’s “FOUR POINTS”* Bullet Points
Real Estate Market – thru MAY 2011
· 500,000 and below is NOW in a “SELLERS’ MARKET” (4-5 months of inventory or less)
· We are seeing multiple offers and multiple back up contracts on several homes. Two sales resulted in 2 back up contracts, based on 5 offers; two others this month also have received back up contracts. A back up contract is an actual contract that goes in first position should buyer one fall out. We have not seen this type of activity since the late 90’s

austin homes for sale: 2011 Sales start off with a huge bang in Austin
- 02/04/11 11:39 AM
2011 starts off with a HUGE bang!
As forecast in last month’s report, closings in the River North area (Four Points) increased dramatically from last January whereas inventory hits 15 year lows in Steiner Ranch and River Place. This trend is turning into a movement toward a normal market.
Bear in mind, price reductions have greatly helped create such low inventories, but we are now in a situation where we may likely have inventory shortages this year with the continued improvement in demand. I am extremely optimistic about 2011 being a very good year and 2012 being a great year.

austin homes for sale: Optimism is in the air in Austin.....or is it?
- 01/04/10 07:45 AM
Optimism is in the Air in Austin
Well finally 2009 is over and we can now focus on a proposed rebounding year in 2010 in Austin. Austin saw its ups and downs in the market during the past year, with the major “ups” in the lower price ranges (<$300k) coming from extremely low interest rates combined with substantial tax incentives by the national government.
The mid price range homes ($300 - $700k) saw a noticeable improvement in inventory though demand still has not seen a noticeable improvement as of the end of the year that would make a major impact.

If you are in any business, whether it be real estate or any other business, pick up the friggin' phone!!!

austin homes for sale: Tips on succeeding as an INTROVERT...... from an INTROVERT
- 08/30/09 06:34 AM
Just a few tips from an INTROVERT on how I was able to pull this real estate career off as an EXTROVERT. Those who know me outside the real estate industry know me a very shy introvert who would rather be alone than in a crowd of people. My best friend calls me "THE WALKING DEAD". That is just me. Some outside of real estate may think I am moody.....some may think I am stuck on myself.....and some say I am the walking dead. In reality, I am just a quiet guy suffering severe chronic pain (just maybe another blog on … (8 comments)
