North Central Austin

Over the years I've assisted a variety of sellers, specifically in the Brentwood / Crestview neighborhoods, with different goals / reasons.  Some of the most memorable clients have been those who spanned decades of ownership in the same home (many original homeowners back in the 50's).  They've w...

Is there any real surprise to find the Brentwood / Crestview neighborhood on this list?!  Austin Culture Map published an article in early June outlining their top 9 neighborhoods buyers should have on their radar.  They lived up to Keeping Austin Weird by only doing a top 9 vs 10.  Had they roun...

Last month we saw a bump in the average sales price following the closing of several record setting new construction homes.  Those new homes crested the $700,000 mark, impacting April's numbers.  It's natural to see that number pull back a little in May.  What caught my attention was the decrease...

By now everyone has seen footage of what the devastating floods did to Central Texas and the surrounding areas.  Our Wimberly neighbors to the South of Austin experienced what happens when the stars, moons and planets all align just so and produce the literal perfect storm.  You can still donate ...

Brentwood Park is 9 acres nestled on the edge of Crestview and Brentwood Neighborhoods, next to Brentwood Elementary School.  The playground is a hot spot for many young families with it's playground, swings, pool (opening this weekend) and recently built pavilion.  I recently learned the open fi...

Austin is abuzz during the month of March and it's one of my favorite times of year.  It's the short window of time we truly have California like weather where people clamor to fill every outdoor patio for a frothy beverage or bite to eat. You can run Townlake Hike n Bike trail anytime of day and...

Last week's closing was a great celebration for one of my favorite buyer clients.  The hunt lasted a bit longer due to our low inventory levels in Central / East Austin, but we finally found the perfect home and won out in a biddig war.  During the added time working together we developed a deepe...

Last month I threw out the question of whether or not the neighborhood was really supporting home values over the $700,000 mark, and the answer......apparently yes.  3 pending sales from March, all new construction, closed in April over the $700,000 barrier.  You can see the Average Sold Price wa...

Mother Nature once again delivered a beautiful day for the 2015 Violet Crown Festival, which supports community enhancements for Brentwood and Crestview Neighborhoods.  Our family walked over to Brentwood Elementary School mid morning just as the gates opened and found a party in full swing.  Chi...

Good bye Highland Mall, hello ACC (Austin Community College) campus.  I will remember the long treks from NW Austin during Christmas time with my parents in hopes of stopping for lunch or dinner at Airport Haven Burgers afterwards.  Their neon sign with a red baron pilot flying above just before ...
