For all my Lake Travis friends... the 2011 Lake Travis ISD Bond is coming up. There is a community meeting on October 5th at Lake Travis High School at 6 PM - worth your time. It's an important issue for the future of the Lake Travis area. Even if your children are grown...like mine, this will impact our quality of life for years to come. Lake Travis is an exemplary district and area. Let's keep it going...learn about our future. I'm voting YES, hope you do too! 10/02/2011

I love our Lakeway TX Police Department.  Chief Todd Radford and his Officers are doing a great job with Lakeway protection, community involvement and communication.

Lakeway TX had a great Summer with 74 home sales from June 1 - August 31, 2011! There are also currently 22 properties that are under contract pending closing.  In 2010, during the same time period, there were 70 Lakeway home sales. Pretty even year over year. Another story brews within these home sales in the City of Lakeway TX.I want to take a look at the percent of list price vs sales price. Across the country, real estate "experts" like to say that sellers will take 20 and even 30% off their asking prices... not in the general Austin area, and not in Lakeway TX either.  However, there is some unique activity that has changed in homes for sale in Lakeway TX over 2010 and 2011.  Look at this bar graph. This is the sales history for the June - August 2011 period. As you can see, the lo... 09/09/2011

The City of Lakeway used to be known as a "sleepy" city. This is where people went to retire or to purchase second homes to get away from the hussle and bussle of the city life of Austin TX.  Now, it's a booming city just West of Austin TX and there are people of all ages. Because of the influx of people relocating to the Austin TX area, and targeting top school districts, the Lake Travis ISD is a big influence for people relocating to Lakeway TX. Since the beginning of the year, there have been 37 sales (these sales are houses only, not condos or townhomes).  7 have been Foreclosures, which is actually high for the area. There are also 34 properties currently pending, waiting to close.  That's 71 sales. As you can see from the above chart, the sales prices have hoovered in the $250-350... 04/11/2011
