Senna Hills is a great community that's just West of Austin and feeds into the fabulous school district called Eanes ISD. For several years, I gave the Senna Hill's homeowners a hard time for over-pricing their properties. They always had this perception that their properties were made of gold and should retrieve a premium over other comparable communities. Because of that, their sales were slow and mediocre. In January of 2013, I did a market analysis showing the sales difference between 2011 vs 2012.  You can read about that Senna Hills market report here.  To summarize it, I pointed out that I gave a "tip 'o the hat" to Senna Hills' home owners for sticking the slower market out and coming in with strong sales year over year. Now it's 2014, and how does Senna Hills compare year to da...

 Senna Hills had another outstanding year for sales. In 2009 and 2010, I was always hard on the Senna Hill homeowners because they were asking too much and their properties weren't selling. Senna Hills took a turn for the better in 2011, and it continued into 2012. Here is the Senna Hills Market Report 2011 I did last January so you can compare the difference to 2010. Below, you will see charts comparing 2012 with 2011. Please excuse the color coding as it's system generated, and can't be changed. The colors don't match up, chart to chart, but look at the legend in each chart to see what compares. First, I want to point out that the number of sales was basically flat in Senna Hills in 2012. There were 30 sales compared to 31 in 2011.        Days on the Market is an astounding chart!  In...

Austin TX Real Estate is doing well, and there is no exception in Senna Hills, just West of Austin.  Senna Hills is in Travis County, outside any city limits, and feeds into the Exemplary schools of Eanes ISD. Back in September 2011, I wrote a Market Report for Senna Hills that analyzed the year to date activity up to that time and compared it to 2010.  The market report below is going to analyze all of 2011 with all of 2010, and you'll be happily surprised with the results. Here are two pie graphs showing the differences in the Days on the Market for 2010 vs 2011. (please note that only the blue and red represent the same time period and you can't just compare the colors, but look at the legend - technology...)         As you can see,  about the same percentage of homes for sale sold i...

Senna Hills Austin TX is finishing up the year in style, thus far!  Many people view the end of the year, after September 1, as "the slow time". This is because school has started and many people looking to get into a new house prior to the school year have either found something already or will wait. It's also slower as the weather changes and we near the holidays. Here in Austin TX, the weather has forgotten to change, which is keeping many buyers and sellers still out in the market.  Since September 1, Senna Hills has had 6 homes sold with two more that are Pending.  There are currently only 8 houses for sale in Senna Hills with four of those on the market less than a month. I'm not sure how Senna Hills will end the year, but it's definitely on a higher note than last year. **Are You...

The Senna Hills community in Travis County is having a fabulous year, compared to last year.  Back in June, I wrote a Senna Hills Market Report that detailed the first half of 2011 and mentioned how the Senna Hills Home Sellers have finally started coming around. The trend is continuing.  At that time, there were 19 sales already, and three months later, there are 22 sales with 3 more under contract, which is 25 thus far and the year isn't over.  In 2010, Senna Hills had 24 sales total! I ran some sales history year to date in 2011 and compared it to the same period, January 1 - September 13, for 2010.  Here are the charts: My eyes go directly to the middle of the charts, and I can easily see that the home sales in Senna Hills in 2011 have a higher average price as more properties are g...

Senna Hills is starting to look like what a neighborhood should look like in today's market!!  I think the sellers of Senna Hills in Austin TX are finally getting it!  In January, I wrote a Market Report for Senna Hills for a summary of 2010.  The basics of that report was that sellers were selling at a lower sales price percentage the shorter time their house was on the market. I thought that was backwards. We are now almost halfway through 2011 and it looks like things are turning around in Senna Hills.  There have been 11 properties that have closed, but there are also 8 properties that are currently under contract waiting to close. That's 19 "sales" in under 6 months. There were only 24 sales for the entire year of 2010. Here is a chart showing the sales. As before, the listings on ...
