Austin Real Estate Continues To Improve

collage

In comparing the September 2009 figures to 2008 figures the 2009 Multiple Listing Service report by the Austin Board of Realtors shows signs of improvement.

This is no news to us who are in the market and have listings selling and buyers purchasing.

There was an increase of 6% in September 2009 with 1,780 homes selling verses 1,683 homes sold in 2008. The median home price for Austin is up 2% to $185,250. Austin's quality of life, lower unemployment rate and economic growth keeps Austin in the limelight for one of the top destinations in our country. I had a student in a University interview me for a paper he is working on .

One of his questions was: "If you could do real estate anywhere where would it be? Or would you stay in Austin?" My answer was an emphatic "Absolutely in Austin!!"

Storm Drain Marking ~ Canyon Creek Earns City of Austin Credits

Canyon Creek Community is taking seriously becoming a green neighbor! The City of Austin is challenging neighborhoods to educate their residents about pollution prevention. Canyon Creek has stepped up to the post and taken on the task to mark their storm drain outlets and is earning 10 points towards their distinction of becoming a green neighbor. The markers are placed on storm drain inlet filters to remind us that rainfall runoff can wash soil, yard waste, fertilizer, motor oil and other pollutants into our waterways. Great job residents! you are elevating our status by learning and exhibiting actions as a green neighbor. If your neighborhood would like to sponsor a storm drain making event go to: http:/www.cityofaustin.org/watershed/wq_stormdrain

Meet Dr. Susan C. King ~ Family Practice Physician

I've done a series of blogs as Dr. Susan King's office was under construction at 1907 Cypress Creek Rd. in Sun Chase Plaza II.  Her office is now completed.  She is located directly across from Cedar Park Middle School, and very close to Cedar Park High School, ACC Campus, Randall's and Lakeline Mall.  If you live in Volente Hills, Bella Vista, Twin Creeks, Deer Creek, Ranch Creek, Westside of Buttercup, Buttercup, Red Oak and surrounding communities you are a short distance to her office.  I've known Dr. King through her dad who is my friend and previous family physician since the early 1980's.  Dr. David King retired several years ago and I made a wonderful decision to continue with the King family of doctors.  I have been Dr. King's Realtor and have represented her in several home transactions as well as her current office condo. She is married, has two adorable children and is an avid runner.  If you're looking for a resourceful, caring doctor give her a call.  Please take a minute, play my video and meet her!

Another successful Fall Canyon Creek garage sale took place this past weekend.  Kudos to Jill Kanatzar for organizing this event and making sure the Fall garage sale remained intact!

Saturday was a beautiful, sunny day allowing plenty of visitors time to scour the streets looking for great values.  It appeared most shoppers bought the lion's sahre of items on Saturday. 

Probably a good thing because the rains came on Sunday causing most to close up shop!
