With its newest marketing slogan, "Pflugerville: Between a Rock and a Weird Place", my current hometown seems poised for even more growth now that it has been named as one of the "Top 100 Places to Live" according to Relocate America.

To briefly explain the saying, Pflugerville is located between Round Rock and Austin, whose city slogan is "Keep Austin Weird". This refers to efforts to support local small businesses as opposed to large chain stores.

I have lived in Pflugerville for over 14 years now, so I know firsthand how great the town is for raising kids. It's quiet, safe, friendly, and affordable. What else could you ask for?

When we first moved here, the census sign (from 1990) said, "Population: 4,444". The current population is approaching 50,000, making Pflugerville one of the fastest growing cities in Texas.

Speaking of the desirability of our community:

"Pflugerville is just 20 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, and with two new state highways traversing the city, Pflugerville will soon be an essential hub for people making their way in and around Central Texas. Perhaps most importantly, Pflugerville is committed to families. Located minutes from technology giants Dell, Samsung, Motorola and IBM, and from the State offices in downtown Austin, the City attracts a highly educated population in search of quality housing, excellent schools and a safe, healthy environment."

Earlier today, I met with my friend Debbie Ates at Wilshire Homes (Commons at Rowe Lane) and she requested that I update my previous video about Stone Hill Town Center.

This new shopping center is located less than two miles from my home in the Blackhawk area.  There are plenty of other neighborhoods in the area, including Falcon Pointe, Highland Park North, Commons at Rowe Lane, Villages at Hidden Lake, Avalon, and more.

This video turned out a bit longer than I was planning at almost 4 minutes, but I hope you find it to be helpful.  Thanks!

As a six-year resident of the Blackhawk area and a 13-year resident of Pflugerville, I like to keep an eye on the market values here in the area. When the toll roads opened two years ago, the prices started trending upward and they have continued to appreciate overall, although more slowly right now, with some tough economic factors at play. As a fellow homeowner in Blackhawk, this stuff is important to me, too!

Currently, there are 12 resale homes available on the MLS in the Fairways, with an average asking price of $237,104. The average square footage for these homes is 2,737, for an average price per square foot of $88.74.

There are 6 homes under contract presently in the subdivision, with an average asking price of $211,695, and an average size of 2,691 ($78.67/square foot).

Over the past quarter (January 1st through today), there were only 2 sales closed within the Fairways of Blackhawk. With such a small sample set, averages wouldn't really mean much in this case.

In other area news:

Located at the southwest corner of the intersection of the aforementioned toll roads (45 and 130), Stone Hill Town Center is now partially open, and it promises over 1,000,000 square feet of shopping and entertainment upon completion. Home Depot, SuperTarget, Best Buy Verizon Wireless, and Mattress Firm are now open, soon to be followed by Bealls, Dick's Sporting Goods, several retail clothing stores, Chick Fil-A, and much more.

As a resident of the Meadows of Blackhawk for over six years now, I like to keep an eye on the property values in the area. Ever since the toll roads opened a couple of years ago, demand has remained reasonably strong despite a rocky real estate market in 2008.

Currently, there are 19 homes available in the Meadows, with an average asking price of $204,915. The average square footage for these homes is 2,455, for an average price per square foot of $84.57.

Presently, there are 5 homes under contract in the subdivision, with an average listing price of $176,598, and an average square footage of 2,258, yielding an average price per square foot of $80.74. This is about six dollars per square foot higher than prices for 2008.

Over the past three months (January 1st through today), there were 10 sales closed within Meadows of Blackhawk. The average listing price was $183,119 and the average sales price was $181,915. This means that homes sold for approximately 99.3% of the list price. This number does not account for any seller-paid closing costs, nor does it include any price reductions.

The average number of days on the market for this initial quarter was 111, which is higher than the average for the entire Austin MLS. The square footage of the homes sold averaged 2,328, and the price per square foot for the sales was $79.19.

In other area news:

Located at the southwest corner of the intersection of the aforementioned toll roads (45 and 130), Stone Hill Town Center is slated to fully open within a few months, and it promises roughly 1,000,000 square feet of shopping and entertainment. Home Depot, Best Buy, SuperTarget, Verizon Wireless, and Mattress Firm are now open, soon to be followed by Bealls, several retail clothing stores, a number of restaurants, and more.
