Austin Real Estate - Showing Biggest Price Gains

I came across something in the Dallas Morning News that gives me something positive to talk about.  Texas home markets, for the most part, have had increases in home prices in early 2009 - even if they are small.  Compared to other parts of the nation, which on average fell about 11 percent - that is a good thing!

The Austin real estate market.  In a recent report, Austin showed some of the greatest gains


                       BIGGEST PRICE DECLINES AND GAINS

Hamilton Greenbelt - Things To Do Near the Marina Village Waterfront Model Home - Lakeway, Texas


The weather is warming up here in Austin, TX and it's perfect for getting outside!  Lakeway has lots of things to do outside at the many parks and trails.

The Hamilton Greenbelts I & II provide several miles of wonderful trails, which wander along Hurst Creek and Yaupon Creek. It is a fabulous place for family outings, walks and jogs, a bike ride, or walking the dog (on a leash, of course).

The two main trailheads provide parking.  The entrance off Lohmans Crossing Drive (across from the Justice Center) leads you through Hamilton Greenbelt I.  The entrance off Palos Verdes Drive leads you through Hamilton Greenbelt II. Other access points include trailheads off Sailmaster Street, Squires Drive, and Clubhouse Drive.

Click here for a map of the trails.

Hope you get out and enjoy the beautiful day!

Lakeway Restaurants Near the Waterfront Model Home at Marina Village at Lakeway




When I am at the model home at Marina Village Condominiums I come in contact with many people who are unfamiliar with Lakeway, Texas.  Many of our condo buyers are second homeowners who are just here a few weekends each year, and many of the visitors I see are guests at the Lakeway Resort and Spa and are visiting the area for the first time.  I often get asked for restaurant recommendations, directions, etc.
 

With that in mind, I've compiled a list of some of my favorite Lakeway (and surrounding area) restaurants.  I've given you 
Asian Restaurant ideas and recommendations for Sandwiches and Other American Fare and Mexican food.  It's just a start, so feel free to comment or email me if you have other restaurant recommendations.

The Nation's Housing: Long-Term Numbers Tell a Different Story



Things are rough.  You can't help but hear about it, well...everywhere. But, I thought I'd buck the trend and give you some pretty good news. 

The most recent federal statistics in many markets are showing patterns that you may not have heard much about.  The majority of markets still show net cumulative value growth over the last 60 months.  The Federal Housing finance Agency released a survey on Nov. 25th revealing that 273 out of 292 metro markets showed positive net home values over the last 5 years.  Austin, Texas, for example, saw average housing prices gain by 5.6 percent during the last 12 months and by a cumulative 35.3 percent since the third quarter of 2003.  You can find the complete survey at
http://www.fhfa.gov/

Kenneth Harvey states,

"Unlike stocks, where your asset values can go from peak to zero in a matter of weeks, house values tend
to be far slower moving, and can be more durable over extended periods. Buy a house and hold on to it for
five to 10 years in all but the most severely depressed local economies, and you're likely to see positive
growth in its value, even if a rough patch of price deflation intervenes."
