I love that my son John Dunham always makes time for his children's activities. He stepped up to the post once again to help coach Handsome Hudson's Summer Basketball team. WAYA (West Austin Youth Association) has a wonderful program and facility in West Austin. The goal of the program is to teach great kids to be good sports and instill the values of integrity and sportsmanship through competition and interaction. FYI: It didn't hurt they won their game and had a chance to celebrate a team members birthday!

925 Silver Screen Dr, Austin, TX 78747This is the perfect home in the Zachary Scott neighborhood, where you'll enjoy mature trees, well-kept homes, and a great amenity center which includes a pool! This is a lovely one level home with a stone front, open concept floor plan featuring 3 BR, 2 BA, with a 1 car over-sized garage, level and fenced backyard, and the best part is that it's only been lightly lived in. No waiting 6-12 months for a new build that you may or may not get. Instead, you can move right in -- and with it's cool extra features and custom finishes, it will feel like HOME! The kitchen layout is a real winner, and the kitchen appliances including refrigerator convey. Recent updates include: new wood-like tile throughout the house (no carpet!), new extended covered patio (w...

CANYON CREEK’S home prices are pushed to new boundaries as buyer demand continues to surge. Real estate in Austin as well as in Canyon Creek has been undervalued for years. We’re in the process of a price shift as more, great jobs and people move to our area. Check out articles on line “New Austin Jobs” and your head will swim.Because of the shortage of new home construction starts, existing home prices have risen dramatically. In part due to supply and demand but there is no new product for existing homes to be measured against.Buyers and sellers are finding the market incredibly challenging with the dramatic appreciation in prices. In May, 9 listings closed with an average price increase of 49% compared to last year. The days on market were down 78% and the average price/square foot w...

On this Memorial week-end please choose to take time from all the festivities to acknowledge the sacrifice, pay your respects and express your sincere gratitude for our fallen heroes. Taking a moment to honor the memories of those who gave their lives to this country and our cherished freedoms, as well as the sacrifices from their families, is a part we should all play in celebrating Memorial Day. One of my favorite videos produced that truly brings home the message of Memorial Day is the poignant song  by Trace Arlington, “Arlington.”            As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them...... John F. Kennedy

I am so fortunate to share my passion and enthusiasm for real estate with both my children. They helped me when I started in the real estate field in 1991 and logged many hours labeling and licking stamps for my farming pieces. As a single mom starting a new career they were my greatest supporters and their faith in me gave me the confidence to excel.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          When my son, John Dunham, graduated from Clemson after swimming competitively on a scholarship, he came back to Austin and started working for Dell Computers, in sales, in 2001. He accused me of “slamming” him into his first h...

Cinco de Mayo was originally celebrated in Mexico as a day of victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. This holiday is celebrated on the fifth of May and has evolved in the United States as a day to commemorate Mexican culture and heritage.   Of course in Austin we embrace this celebration! Our NW Coldwell Banker Realty office took the opportunity to get together outside as one of many things we do to promote our culture of awesomeness. We work and play hard lifting each other up. We teach each other, we hold each other accountable and treat each other as partners not competitors. Did I mention I love our office and the importance it places on promoting our philosophy?Hope you enjoyed the excitement of the holiday and were moved by the spirit of the day! Happy Cinco de M...

I feel so blessed to have my two children live and work in Austin and even sharing a profession I love….real estate.My daughter and her husband have 3 children, Hailey, Trey and Maggie. My son and his wife have two children Hudson and Beckett. I admit my grands are the “apple of my eye” and I feel so fortunate to be a part of their lives as they grow up. My grans range in age from 6 to 25. Loving each other and having fun together is the easiest thing they do! Each one of them brings a smile to my lips and a song in my heart. How lucky am I?Grandchildren are the dots that connect the lines from generation to generation.” – Lois Wyse

 It’s the same song…. CANYON CREEK’S home prices are continuing to push new boundaries as buyer demand continues. Its simple economics… our demand for housing is greater than our supply. It’s fueled by SOLID job creation, low interest rates and compared to other parts of the country, undervalued housing. Buyers and sellers are finding the market incredibly challenging with the dramatic appreciation in prices. In April, 5 listings closed with an average SOLD price increase of 46% compared to last year.  To put things in perspective there was one house closed over an astounding $1,000,000. Many buyers experiencing fatigue made a decision, as last resort, to throw out an offer a seller can’t refuse. Not every buyer can accommodate this practice and some are calling it quits as they grapple...

It’s that time of the year, by now you should have received your property appraised values for 2021 with your proposed property tax. You can check your values and updates on the following links for Travis and Williamson counties:Travis County Williamson CountyThe Texas Legislature does not set the tax amount of your local taxes. Your property tax burden is decided by your locally elected officials. The appraisal district only determines the value of your property.I’m receiving calls to help homeowners protest their estimated property values and you have until May 17, 2021 to file a protest. Hearings will begin on June 1, 2021. It never hurts to protest your value in order to minimize your tax burden. I can provide you with the sold data but my advice is to call a third party and use the...
