Market stats for June are out, and it might look like more of the same.HOWEVER, we are in strange Summer times right now with pricing and activity.  June sales are the result of late April and May contracts...this was before school was out and Austin started to reach some critical mass with vaccinations.  So what does this mean....   Despite still maintaining record low inventory levels, they have inched up SLIGHTLY! Enought to create a bit of breathing room for buyers out there. Don't get me wrong, really special homes we are seeing multiple offers if priced correctly.  There seems to be some hesitation and fatigue in the market from buyers (and frankly just about anyone who was actively involved in real estate the first 6 months of 2021).I should make it clear, we are not seeing any p...

Well that didn't take long! Buyers recognized quickly the care my sellers have taken over the last 19 years of this lovely home. The majestic trees on this tree-lined street grabbed their attention as well as the open floor plan and tranquil setting on the deck.

  There are quite a few different ways to determine a property’s value.  As a real estate broker, I most often determine a fair asking price or listing price based on the relevant comparable sales.  Other entities such as the county tax assessor may also use the sales comparison approach to determine a given home’s value; yet, our valuations may be vastly different.  That’s because the different types of valuations are ultimately defined by the entity evaluating the property’s worth.  Appraised value is a term used to describe the lender’s valuation of a given property.  When you buy a home with a loan, the lender needs to determine what the value of the home is in order to limit their risk.  The lender orders an appraisal of the subject property once a buyer is under-contract on a pro...

It’s been a fabulous 19 years since my owners purchased me! They’ve taken such good care of me over the years. I’m ready for you to move in and be attentive to the style I’ve grown accustomed. My lovely majestic trees have been well maintained and fond memories are whispering throughout my desirable, open floor plan as well as the tranquil setting on the deck and patio.

Our NW Austin Coldwell Banker office set an all time record in June 2021 for agents eligible for the Million Dollar Club by listing, writing business or closing sales during the month of 1 Million or more! A record 37 agents qualified, so proud of our collective efforts. Our office closed 124 properties, listed 68 homes and wrote 96 contracts! I'm tired thinking about all the transactions our office handled!I love working in an office where everyone works together in a culture of awesomeness, celebrating each other’s success and encouraging each other to grow, this is essential for me. Our office continues to lead the industry serving our clients in this “frenzied” real estate market. Inventory is increasing offering a little normalization to the market and helping cool and sooth the em...

 CANYON CREEK’S home prices pushed to new boundaries as buyer demand continues to surge in our summer market. There is not a better time to buy! There are more credit-worthy buyers because they are equity and savings rich and can take advantage of low interest rates. More hopeful buyers are accelerating their home buying timelines. Building equity is more important as most consumers want to swap volatile monthly rents with steady monthly mortgage payments. We are now experiencing more truth in the market with new sold comparable prices justifying the escalating prices. Homes are appraising closer to or at sold prices as we move into Third Quarter 2021.Canyon Creek Second Quarter 2021There are 3 Active homes found on June 30, 2021 (out of 1,330+ homes) and 13 Contract Pending homes. Home...

The greater Austin area continues to break records in the month of May. Austin saw an all-time high for median home prices for any month on record. The recorded median single-family home value for the entire greater Austin area last month topped the charts at a whopping $465,000.We are at a challenging time currently. There is simply not enough land in Austin to meet buyer demand. As businesses come in, so do residents and this is causing single-family home prices to skyrocket. Austin is now experiencing a critical shortage of inventory and we must think about new ways to expand and creative policies to increase our housing supply over the long run.   ​Residential home sales in the Austin Round-Rock MSA aka the entire greater Austin area have seen an increase of 48% year over year to 3,...

CANYON CREEK’S home prices are not in an economic bubble. Prices are rising for the right reasons. Inventories are at record lows, developers and builders cannot build quick enough to meet demand and interest rates are still low! Lending parameters are strict and there are more credit-worthy borrowers because they are equity and savings rich. Post COVID lifestyles are driving up values. 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. Buyers and sellers are finding the market incredibly challenging with the dramatic appreciation in prices. In June, 5 listings closed with an average price increase of 67% compared to last year. The average price/square foot was up 58%. Th...

For many buyers it boiled down to location, location coupled with an adorable, single story, open floor plan with high ceilings, clean lines and sprawling tile floors.  Multiple offers came rolling in with the winning offer 17% over list price (list priced based on most recent comparable sales)! The buyer said the amazing kitchen with its expansive center island/breakfast bar with granite counters, 42” dark cabinets, glass subway tile back splash, stainless appliances and opening to the family/single dining, clinched the deal.With so many looking for a home office or study area the separate built-in office/study space was an added bonus. You can’t beat living just minutes to 183A and the new Dell Children's Hospital under construction or easy access to the Parmer Lane corridor close to ...

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...

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!
