As things get a little more back to normal around the country, Austin is showing its true colors as a wonderful place to call home. This is one of the best times of year, the grass is green, the bluebonnets adorn the highways and being outside is truly better than anything we could want to do indoors! From live music in gardens to outdoor patios, the air is fresh and the city feels more like itself than it has in quite a while.
Here’s just a few things to fill your spring schedule with, from breweries to cool water swimming spots, we know you’ll be glad to be back out in the city we all love.

Austin's Real Estate Market
Spring is in the air! If your kids are school-aged, I hope you are enjoying a fun, safe, relaxing spring break. 2021 has already surprised us, not just with a historic snow storm, but with historic real estate gains!
If you haven’t noticed, the Austin real estate market is in full swing right now. Sales are up across Austin, in numbers higher than we’ve seen to date in 2021. Homes are selling fast and for more money. It’s the time of year when I tell my clients, “if you’re thinking of buying or selling this year, let’s get started” so they don’t miss out on the time when people are planning the year ahead.
My experience, helping buyers and sellers throughout Southwest Austin (in Barton Creek, Westlake, Circle C Ranch, Belterra) to the downtown Austin
MARCH 2017 LOCAL REAL ESTATE STATISTICS
March 2017 was another strong month for the Austin area's real estate market. According to the Austin Board of Real Estate (ABOR), single-family home prices increased by 6% to $295,767.
In addition, the months of inventory homes available increased by .2 months, which is great news for our currently unbalanced market. A balanced market would have 6.5 months of inventory available, and Austin is now up to 2.4 months. This sounds drastically low, but the number is improving incrementally since last year.
