Open House this Saturday in Agave, Nine Sixty Nine
Posted by: | Comments
You may hear this community called by different names - Agave, Nine Sixty Nine, 969 or even Meadows at Trinity Crossing – but the point is that you’ve no doubt heard of this unique East Austin community!
Agave is an eye-catching community that sits atop a hill past the MLK and 183 intersection. The multi-colored, cubist-style homes are unexpected…yet so fitting for East Austin.
The homes in Agave have been most popular for their GREEN features (and of course unique architecture!). You can come and check out what exactly we mean by GREEN features by visiting our open house this Saturday, September 4th, from 1-4 at 5517 Agatha Circle in Agave.
For directions to the open house, or more information about the community, please contact me today.

Open House 7/18, Round Rock’s Best Kept Secret!
Posted by: | CommentsPlease join us this Sunday, July 18th, from 1-4 and see 15 homes that will be open in the Creekmont West, Round Rock West and Cimarron communities.
These three communities comprise of one of Round Rock’s best kept secrets! Tucked away under a canopy of trees, they are located next to the La Frontera shopping center, toll roads (so have easy access to North Austin, the Domain and Arboretum) and are close to Dell.
The style of these neighborhoods reminds me of some of my favorite South Austin neighborhoods. Established trees and wide streets are features they have that you just don’t see in too many of the newer Round Rock communities.
In combination with a great location and the style of the neighborhoods, you will find that these homes are also affordably priced. With interest rates so low, you will definitely want to take this opportunity to check out these homes and see what you can get for your money in Round Rock!
While you are at the community-wide open house, be sure to stop by our listing at 706 Riverlawn Drive! This warm and inviting home has no neighbors behind it and is close to three Round Rock ISD schools!
We hope to see you this Sunday! If you cannot make it to the open house, please contact me now for your personal showing.
Top Reasons to Live in Creekmont West, Round Rock
Posted by: | CommentsCreekmont West is a small neighborhood with big advantages. When driving on the toll road past the La Frontera shopping center, you can look north and it seems like all you can see are trees. If you didn’t know the area well, you wouldn’t know that below the trees are the neighborhoods of Creekmont West, Round Rock West and Cimarron.
As mentioned above, one of the many advantages of these neighborhoods, like Creekmont West, is location. A plethora of shopping and dining is located at the nearby La Frontera and The Domain. Major employers, like Dell, are also just minutes away from your front door when you live here. Recently, one of the sellers I am working with in Creekmont West said that the biggest deciding factors for them to move to the area was that three of the Round Rock ISD schools were in walking distance to their home. Besides having quick toll road access (located between the 35 and MoPac exits as well!), the community is close by the 620 (and St. David’s Round Rock Medical Center) and McNeil.
There are no HOA fees in Creekmont West, which is great for buyers looking to keep their monthly payments low! It also has some of the lower tax rates in Round Rock – currently at 2.38%!
When driving around in the community you notice the established, mature trees and wide streets – it almost reminds me of some of my favorite neighborhoods in Central and South Austin!
Below are the market statistics for Creekmont West from June 1, 2009 to June 1, 2010. If you would like more information about buying or selling in Creekmont West, please contact me today!

Are Home Sales Picking Up In Teravista, Round Rock?
Posted by: | CommentsLooking over the sale data for the Teravista subdivision in Round Rock, I am noticing a nice change from last month’s data.
Currently, the market data shows that five homes sold in Teravista from December 24th, 2009 to January 23rd 2010 – not too bad considering this time frame was during the holidays.
Also, the MLS data for Teravista shows that there are currently 18 homes that are under contract. Keep in mind that ‘under contract’ does not mean or guarantee ‘sold’ but I’d say this is a good outlook for sellers in Teravista. This could mean the data will show three or four times more sold homes next month!
Another point of interest, homes that are currently under contract in Teravista range from being on the market only two days to a much longer 286 days. If you are looking to buy a home in Teravista, chances are, there is a home out there for you!

(The chart above is gathered from MLS data from 7/17/2009 – 1/15/10)
In my recent visits to the homes in Greenwood Forest I have noticed that there are generally two types of homes – homes that need to be remodeled or homes that have recently been remodeled, which is an obvious characteristic of an older community. Whether you are looking for a moderate fixer-upper in a popular area of town or a home that has been remodeled with the latest trends and is move-in ready, Greenwood Forest may be the spot for you!
