What's Going On

So, this blogging thing really takes discipline - and I have failed miserably! But there is always an opportunity for redemption, and I am going to take this one. Look for regular updates coming from this blog - mostly about how "Green" affects real estate and you, but also about Austin, TX real estate in general.

Quickly, to catch up, Austin real estate continues to buck national trends. The number of listings in down, pending sales are up, as are sales (from the same time last year). As for myself, I have seen a definite increase in interested buyers and realistic sellers. Once Central Texas tuned out the national "sky is falling" stories, it became abundantly clear that we would continue on our path of steady growth.

All is well. Really. Austin continues to grow in both jobs and population, and the Federal "First-Time Buyer" Tax Credit has spurred hesitant buyers into the market. If you are thinking of selling, there really is no better time than the present!
