Some positive News for Austin & Texas: Texas Poised to Outpace Nation (Again)
Some POSITIVE “News” for Austin and Texas in the article below. Basically the outlook is positive based on several key factors:
- Texas is a business friendly state with tax friendly policies and incentives which are enticing nation wide companies to relocate to Austin as well as the rest of Texas
- Low cost of living for the employees of the companies that are relocating to Texas
- Job growth in several key sectors in Texas
I’m so lucky to live in Texas and especially Austin. If you don’t live in Texas you should 
TEXAS POSTED TO OUTPACE NATION (AGAIN)
COLLEGE STATION (Real Estate Center) – Texas’ economic outlook for 2012 is positive. Job growth is occurring in several sectors, and a low cost of living is enticing businesses to move to the Lone Star State.
It will be tougher going for the nation, however, because of several factors. The housing market needs to clear a high number of foreclosures. Consumers need to pay off their debt. The banking system needs to write off bad debt. Small businesses need to start hiring again.
Writing for the January issue of Tierra Grande magazine, Real Estate Center Chief Economist Dr. Mark Dotzour says, “Fortunately, Texas is poised to outperform the U.S. averages. Home sales volume in Texas should show modest improvement over 2011, and prices should be stable throughout 2012.” Dotzour’s economic outlook is titled “Texas Sails On: Nation Battles Headwinds.”
If your thinking about visiting Austin and taking a closer look into to the local real estate market and considering a move I encourage you to reach out to me and give me a ring: 512.771.0754 or drop me an email: mlatxrealestate@gmail.com
It would be my pleasure being your personal Tour Guide & Ambassador to this great place we call Austin, Texas.
The only way to get a closer look is to come visit and explore this Rock ‘in town we call Austin. The term that I’m sure you have heard: “Keep Austin Weird” is a marketing slogan but it’s also who we are – were weird because we are special and different. Unlike any other city in the world. Trust me but don’t take my word for it.. come explore and find out for yourself. That’s what I did back in 1999…. I came down for a long three day weekend and three months later my bags were packed and I was officially moved in just in time to celebrate New Years in my new city! Now that I’ve lived in Austin for over 12 years I get to claim the title Austinite – it’s a title I wear proudly and so can you …. so let me help.
It would be my pleasure to serve you and your real estate needs regardless of if you are all ready living in Austin or considering the move.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Keep Austin Rock’in,

Harris Branch & Belhaven Real Estate Market Update
Harris Branch & Belhaven Real Estate Market Update: January 2012
Theirs no need to cloud the truth or fudge the numbers. Harris Branch and Belhaven has been hit with a wave of bank foreclosures. The reality of the situation is this is great news if your a buyer in Harris Branch or Belhaven but no so much good news if your a seller. This news hits close to home because not only am I Harris Branch and Belhaven’s neighborhood Real Estate expert which effects my business but I’m also your neighbor which effects my own home value. I’ve owned a house for the last four years on Cromarty Cove with my adorable puppy Maximus.
If your not in a hurry to sell your home or not in a desperate situation now is not the time. I would encourage you to hold off, hunker down, or look to rent out your property if you have to. But if you are left with no other options and you must list your home because your moving out of state then that’s a different story.
If you are currently living in Harris Branch or Belhaven and or thinking about moving into the neighborhood I would encourage you to like the Harris Branch Neighborhood fan page: http://www.facebook.com/Harrisbranch to keep up with all the local news and what’s happening in your neighborhood! It’s a great way to keep up with your neighbors and form better relationships.
Harris Branch and Belhaven is a beautiful master-planned community in northeast Austin just off of Highway 290 and Parmer Lane. This little sleepy community features over 2,000+ homes, and has over eight subdivisions.
* Recreational facilities
* basketball and tennis courts
* Junior Olympics-sized pool
* Jogging trails
* On-site daycare
* Lots of beautiful small lakes and ponds dot the landscape
Tech-industry workers living in Harris Branch and Belhaven can look forward to easy commutes, thanks to tech industry giants like Dell, Samsung, Applied Materials, and others. You are only 11 miles away from the University of Texas campus and Texas Memorial Stadium which is home to the UT longhorns football team. Being so close to the university makes it an attractive community to call home for the University of Texas professors, students, and alumni. Also an easy drive south in little over 12.7 miles you will be enjoying all of downtown Austin’s favorite attractions such as live music, entertainment, delicious food, and all of Austins’ famous culture and nightlife.
Now to the Numbers:

Foreclosed during the last 120 days in Harris Branch and Belhaven (Sept, Oct, Nov, & Dec) 2011:
- 6 homes sold between Sept 1st and Dec 31st
- Median sold price: $115,000
- Median days on the market: 74 days

- Median home features: 2,752 sq ft, 4 beds, 2 bath
- Median days on the market for active homes: 90 days
- Foreclosed/REO homes on the market: 2 homes
Note: Having a Buyers Market does not mean that Buyers can have their way with making super low ball offers, but it does mean sellers are going to have to be realistic and not over price their home from the start. The key to selling your home for top dollar is setting a realistic list price from day 1 by not getting greedy and over pricing your home for the first 6o-90 days and then having to drastically lower the price of your home by 10-20% after 90 days. The good news for the sellers of Harris Branch and Belhaven is typically you have two types of buyers: A) Those wanting a home that’s not bank owned (foreclosure) and B) Those wanting a bank owned property. Typically bank owned properties are in bad shape, foundations need repair, and left in bad shape, not always but typically many bank owned properties will require a lot of fixing up to bring up to a liveable standard.

Attention Sellers! Buyers Bypass ‘Fixer-Upper,’ Want Move-in Ready
Attention Sellers!!
Please read this article below that I found on Realtor.Org. It’s so important to follow these basic guidelines. A lot of times the selling of your home happens to be your largest asset or at least one of the top three if you have built up enough equity. I’m first going to share my “thoughts and feelings” on this subject and share a list of important bullet points to review before the article so enjoy
Warning: Do NOT be penny smart and dollar stupid!
Example: If your selling a $200,000k house and you don’t spend $500 to $2,000 to fix up your home you are doing just that. In this “buyers” market you must make your home stand out. You can’t ignore cosmetic or structural issues or it will cost you buyers and good offers. If you are selling your house for $200,000k and let’s say you owe $140,000. Note: Make sure you get some HUD estimates from a title company before you list your home so you know how much you will “net” on your house when you go to sell it. So you decide to spend some money to get your house “Move-In Ready” you are then dollar smart! Congratulations your putting yourself and your listing in a #winning position. In this current market a house in Austin or surrounding areas that’s in great shape, move-in/show ready, and priced right will most likely receive offers and a contract within 5 to 10% below list price. That’s a conservative number … if your in a rock ‘in neighborhood in central Austin or south central Austin like Tarrytown, Travis Heights, So-Co, Hyde Park, and other hot trendy neighborhoods you might receive full-list offers. The further out you live typically those numbers begin to change and against you. Back to my story so you list your house for $200k, you owe $140k, it’s “Move-In” ready so you receive an offer in the $180’s and you finally reach an agreement at $190,000. So sales price of: $190,000 – (minus) closing costs of 7.5% $14,250 will = (equals) $175,750 — So $175,750 – (minus) $140,000 (remaining debt balance from what you owe the bank) = (equals) $35,750. Id say your #winning Keep in mind “closing costs” will very from listing contract to listing contract… sometimes its 6.5% sometimes it could be high as 8% or more… a number of scenarios and situations come in play.
Example #2: Let’s say you decided to be “Penny Smart and Dollar Stupid” (sorry if this isn’t politically correct – I’m very Open & Direct and you deserve a Realtor ® who will be – the last thing you need is a shy, timid Realtor ® who is afraid to really tell you like it is) and you don’t fix up your house. You don’t take care of the list of items below and your house goes on the market “just as” …. your house will most likely sit for longer than 120-150 days, you will receive little showings, little interest, and most likely LOW Ball offers!! #losing Because you decided against spending $500 to $1,000/$2,000 in fixing up your place. It now cost you $10,000, $20,000, $30,000k or more in losses!!! That could have been money that went in your pocket on the back end but you were to cheap to on the front end. Yes I just said it cheap. I hope I made you smile and laugh during this process…. I’ve injected my personality and humor into this so please loosen up if you were offended.
Note: Lot’s of different scenarios come into play when selling your home like Location, Age, Unique Features, Size, School Districts, Neighborhood, Amenities, and most importantly PRICE! At the end of the day – Price will be your best friend or worst enemy. A market will not lie, if your “priced right” in any market your home will sell. But that will also depend on how much equity you have in your home and the other scenarios involved like are you moving-up, cashing out, etc.
When getting your house ready to put on the market here is your To Do List:
- Painting: Either touch-up or repainting of the walls
- De-Clutter: If you don’t use it every single day it’s got to go. Put it in storage or throw it away.
- If your house is several years old the outside might be in need of a power washing to remove water stains, mud daubers, bee hives, mold and mildew, the driveway to remove oil and gas stains, decks and patios to give it a fresh new look. I would recommend 512 Power Washing for professional service and affordable pricing: http://www.facebook.com/512powerwashingandhomeservices or 512powerwashing@gmail.com (mention this blog and my name to receive a 15% discount off services, I know the owners and will hook you up!)
- fix any holes, scrapes or damaged walls
- make sure all your windows and doors work correctly, open and close smoothly
- clean your windows
- If your front door looks weathered – paint or reseal it
- Fix any leaking toilets
- Replace all your burnt out light bulbs
- Replace any cracked or broken windows
- Seal all counter-tops, shower windows, doors, etc.
- Remove any mold or mildew in the bathrooms and showers
- Fix any uneven surfaces or counter-tops
- If your dog, cat, mountain lion, or cougar ate, ripped, or destroyed something – fix it.
- Don’t forget curb appeal – clean your landscape beds, pull weeds, remove leaves, trim bushes, edge your beds, trim your trees, put down fresh mulch, plant some flowers, water your grass – make sure it’s green, if your house doesn’t win “Best in Show” on the outside against all the other homes in the neighborhood … make it because your turning away potential buyers
- Hire a licensed Inspector and get your home Pre-Inspected! This is a 50/50% option half of my sellers take advantage of. It’s an added expense, because typically this is a buyers expense that they incur during the ‘option-period’ but having your home pre-inspected and having all those small or big items addressed will give you an upper hand and a marketing advantage. I use and recommend to all my clients: Austin Home Inspection Team – ask for Michael 512.773.2773 or Michael@austinhomeinspectionteam.com
In this market you need every “advantage” you can get …… remember even the littlest of things can scare away buyers like bugs… spiders, ants, scorpions, dead or alive this will scare away potential buyers. Also make sure your home stays clean and show ready at all times. Hire a professional maid service once or twice a month to make sure your home shows the best if you and or your partner can’t manage the upkeep.
One sellers tip I like to give is make sure your house “sounds and smells” nice … if you happen to be home and you get a call from a Realtor ® who wants to show your property make sure you turn on the radio or house music system before you….. something soft and relaxing. No heavy metal or rap now…. haha cause then you might scare them away. But music can be a powerful advantage to selling your home along with nice warm inviting smells. Candles and air fresheners work wonders. But nothing over the top – a simple inviting smell like lavender, lemons, or cinnamon should do the trick. Also take down those family photos and religious symbols as you want your client “envisioning” themselves living inside your home … not pushing them away. Family Photos and religious symbols might detour your potential buyer.
Last but not least…. a home staging company might be what the Doctor ordered. Sometimes that’s the missing piece or element – call The Stage Coach 512.670.8295 or online at www.stagecoachtexas.com “Austin’s Home Staging Handyman!”
Here is the article from Realtor.Org
Buyers Bypass ‘Fixer-Upper,’ Want Move-in Ready
“More buyers are shunning “as-is” properties in favor of homes that are in move-in condition, according to real estate professionals and recent surveys.
For example, a Coldwell Banker survey recently found that 87 percent of first-time buyers say they desire a “move-in” ready home.
“This is absolutely the story of this market. It seems buyers will pay a premium, engage in a bidding war, and even overpay just to avoid buying a ‘project’ house,” says Beth Freed of Terrie O’Connor REALTORS® in Ridgewood, N.J.
As such, real estate pros are advising their sellers to fix up their homes for quicker sales. “There is no question homes that have been spruced up for the market sell quicker,” says Kate Conover with RE/MAX in Saddle River, N.J.
That doesn’t mean major, costly renovations that sellers won’t likely get back on the sale price either, she says. Instead of a major kitchen or bath renovation, just repainting the home or removing the clutter can go a long way in freshening up a home. Also, don’t forget about curb appeal: Freshen up the flowerpots, trim the bushes, and paint the front door, if it’s starting to show wear and tear.
Also with buyers wanting “move-in” ready homes, real estate pros say it’s crucial that sellers address any major maintenance and safety issues—such as leaky roofs—before the home even goes on the market.” —- End of Article —-
Right now it’s a “buyers” market even in Austin which has one of the strongest markets in the country. Attention Buyers: Depending on the area, the neighborhood, the size of square feet, and condition of the home will depend on the percentage discount you will receive off the list price. Each neighborhood in Austin is different. Give me a call let me do some searches and run some comps (Competitive Market Analysis) to see what the prices are going for with the homes and neighborhoods that catch your attention. If you are living in Austin and looking to either purchase as a first time home buyer or looking to move-up give me a call at 512.771.0754. I would love to help you find your next dream home. And as a seasoned negotiating expert I have the background, experience, and skill level to deliver you the best sales price possible. In this market you can’t have a timid Realtor or you will get crushed and pay way too much … you need a seasoned expert that can put the hammer down!
Have a Rock ‘in Day,

Formula 1 coming to Austin, TX
Formula1 racing is coming to Austin, TX!!!
I can hardly believe it! But it’s true … http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2010/5/10824.html
Austin, TX will serve as the the host city of the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix from 2012 through 2021.
What are your thoughts on the Formula 1 Grand Prix coming to Austin,TX? Good or Bad?
Personally I am in favor of the Formula 1 Grand Prix event coming to our beloved city. I believe this will have a huge positive impact on the local economy, jobs, growth, construction, real estate values, travel, etc.
I do know a local developer who showed the East Austin land back in 2008 for a mega complex said Austin race mastermind Tavo Hellmund planned for a mixed-use development that would most likely incorporate clean tech and high-performance research and development hubs. Along with office and hospitality development. I do know the long term goal for F1 racing is electric power ….. it’s the wave of the future! Hellemund had a vision to build the track along with a development center that would hold high-performance battery and fuel cell researchers. If that is the case I’m all for it 110%!!! Austin is leading the green building movement we might as well lead the formula1 race car industry as well.
Now is a great time to invest in Austin, TX real estate!!! With low interest rates … now is the time to be buying. This city has every ingredient to double in size over the next ten to fifteen years …

from the article:
Mr. Hellmund added: “This is a case of the right timing in the right place. As many Americans know, Austin has earned a reputation as one of the ‘it’ cities in the United States. Austin features that rare combination of ideal geographic location and beauty. Its fine dining, world-renowned hospitality and excellent transportation infrastructure make Austin ideally suited to host and manage an event of this magnitude. Few cities if any in America could rival the connectivity of all the key elements needed for hosting a Formula 1 event as well as Austin. Now, many people around the world will have the opportunity to experience a world-class event, facility and city.”
“We are pleased Texas has the opportunity to be involved with Formula 1 and that an event of this magnitude is coming to Austin,” said Susan Combs, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. “It has been a pleasure working with Full Throttle Productions, LP and Mr. Hellmund on this project. Their tradition of producing successful major events coupled with a thirty year relationship with Mr. Ecclestone has us looking forward to this worldwide event and the benefits it will bring, including local job creation, increased tourism and a significant economic impact added to our state economy. The visibility and prestige of this event will spotlight our state on an international stage.”
Texas Governor Rick Perry conveyed his enthusiasm for the project, explaining “Texas’ relatively strong economy continues to draw both national and international attention and I commend Comptroller Combs for her work in bringing this exciting event to the Lone Star State.”
City of Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell continued the positive sentiments, adding “The City of Austin will be proud to host this magnificent event and I look forward to welcoming the participants and fans of Formula One to our City.”
Full Throttle Productions, LP acknowledges with great appreciation the efforts of all parties involved including Bernie Ecclestone, President and CEO of the Formula One Group, and the local and state officials of Texas.
“It has been a shared vision and monumental task to reach this agreement. We realize that over the last 30 years there have been one or two missing pieces from the previous editions of the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix™. We have a tremendous opportunity at hand to do it right – to feature Austin as the backdrop and produce the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix™ as one of the great sporting events in the world,” stated Hellmund.
In addition to the State of Texas being the 11th strongest economy in the world, it has more Fortune 500 company headquarters than any other state. Key features of Austin include:
- State capital nicknamed ‘Silicon Hills’ for being one of the most important regions in the US for the Technology Industry;
- USA’s 15th largest city and is located 145 miles from Houston (4th largest US city), 70 miles from San Antonio (7th largest US city), and 180 miles from Dallas (8th largest US city), population in this triangle is over 22 million;
- perfectly located geographically for North, South and Central American visitors;
- over 130 daily departing international flights within 180 miles;
- over 250,000 hotel rooms within 180 miles;
- desirable year-round climate, with an average annual temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 Celsius);
- geographically located in the Texas Hill Country, easily the most beautiful city in the State, and considered one of the most in the US;
- hotels/downtown/Formula 1 circuit/airport located within close proximity of each other, which is nearly impossible for any other large city in the US;
- world class night life entertainment along renowned ‘Sixth Street’; and
