Buying

If you are reading this you’re probably trying to gather information and get answers to personal questions about your next home. Some of the answers you’re looking for I can’t help you with (because they are for you) and some I can. When or if you need me give me a call or shoot me an e-mail. I promise no pressure, no sales pitch, just genuine answers with your best interest in mind.
 
Also I’ve pulled together these helpful buyer links and our MLS search is set so you don’t have to register to get full public access to homes that are for sale in the Austin area. Enjoy!

Emerging neighborhoods Quail Creek and Gracy farms

One of my favorite starter/ investor neighborhoods is Quail creek. Just to the East of the Domain and West of Lamar it’s a fair bet for price appreciation. The city has a zoning overlay for the area around the domain to be permitted to build very tall buildings. The idea s the city wants this to be a sort of a second downturn. The area was chosen because it’s just far enough away from our existing downtown and it’s the location where two very important railroad tracks come closest to each other. My guess is – this is a 15 year project, but probably a good thing for buyers and investors to buy into ahead of the curve. Check out the homes below and if you have any questions – just ask or feel free to visit http://austintexas.gov/department/north-burnetgateway to check out the plan yourself.
