Welcome home, Raul and Tatiana! 🔑

Relocating across the country with two little ones is hard. Doing it while one parent travels for work and the other cares for the kids in a hotel room is harder. This family handled it with so much grace.

We worked quickly, found a great single-story home, negotiated through a few repair items, and closed on schedule. Now they’re settled in Texas, closer to family, after several moves in the last few years.

Relocating to the Austin area? I’d love to help make your move as smooth as possible. Send me a message anytime.

🏡 **JUST SOLD! Welcome to Austin!**

I'm excited to have helped Christian and Brenna find their new home after relocating from out of state!

We collaborated throughout the search, dug into the details of each home we considered, and ultimately found a great fit for their family.

The fun part? The seller just happened to be a Realtor who previously worked with me! She's delightful, incredibly detail-oriented, and was wonderful to work with. Together, we tackled a list of repairs, worked through the details, and even closed ahead of schedule!

It was truly a win all around.

Christian and Brenna were also kind enough to share a wonderful review of their experience, including:

*"Our expectations were blown out of the water in the best way. We can't recommend him enough!"*

I'm grateful for their trust and couldn't be happier for this family as they begin their next chapter in Austin.

Congratulations, Christian and Brenna! 🎉🔑

🏡 Austin Housing Market Update | September 2026

Sales are slowing, but prices are holding up.

📉 Closed sales: Down 14.8%
📈 Median sales price: $421,000, up 1.4%
🏠 Housing inventory: 5.4 months
📊 Average original list price received: 92.7%

What does this mean? Buyers may have more room to negotiate, particularly as we enter the slower fourth-quarter selling season. Sellers need to focus on competitive pricing and strong marketing.

I've broken down the latest market trends and opportunities in my September report.

We're coming into what is statistically the best time of the year to buy a home, and it lines up with what I'm seeing in the Austin market right now.

Many buyers aren't actively looking this time of year, which can mean less competition and more negotiating leverage for those who are.

I've seen some particularly good opportunities recently in areas like Lake Travis ISD, where inventory and lower buyer demand are giving buyers more leverage. There are still plenty of sales supporting values, but I'm also seeing some sizable discounts, especially as you move into the higher price points.

Realtor.com identifies September 27 through October 3 as Austin's best buying week of 2026, with more inventory, less competition and prices below their seasonal peak.

If you're in a position to buy, this is a time of year worth paying attention to.

It’s always nice when past clients come back, but it means even more when they trust you enough to refer someone in their family.

I’ve helped Jay and Jessica with several home purchases and sales over the years. This time around, they asked me to help Jay’s mom, Beth, find a home near them and the grandkids.

Beth is a golfer and tennis player, so Lakeway and the Lake Travis area made a lot of sense. We set out to find her something lock and leave that would give her easy access to both, while putting her close to family.

We had some timing to work through because she was selling another home at the same time. With some creativity, we were able to make it all work and get her into the new house just a few business days after the other one closed.

I had a great time getting to know Beth better through the process. Thanks Jay and Jessica for trusting me again, and congratulations Beth!

JUST SOLD in East Austin! 🏡

When people ask where I specialize, my answer is usually: Austin.

I certainly sell a lot of homes in West Austin, where I live and have worked for many years, but my clients take me all over the city. That variety is one of my favorite parts of the business, from luxury properties to character-filled cottages like this one.

For this purchase, I helped a couple relocating from out of state who wanted to establish roots in East Austin. One of the buyers had actually lived in the area about 10 years ago, making this a bit of a homecoming.

The search wasn’t without challenges. We pursued another great property but encountered a complicated seller situation, and we found another home that ultimately needed more work than made sense for my clients.

Then we found this 1940s home on nearly a quarter acre.

It offered a lot of what they were looking for: no HOA, original wood floors, plenty of character, and a detached rear structure with storage and additional living or office space.

The seller worked with us to address several items before closing, including installing new shingles and completing supportive framing work. With my buyers staying in an Airbnb, timing mattered, and we were able to get everything completed and close on schedule.

There was a great spirit at the closing table: excitement, anticipation and the feeling that they had found a place where they could settle in for the long term.

Congratulations to my buyers and welcome back to Austin!

Just closed for my clients in Lake Pointe! This transaction had its share of challenges. We went under contract on a home advertised as "fully remodeled from top to bottom" only to find out it needed tens of thousands of dollars in work and the seller would not budge on price. With my clients already under contract on the sale of their own home, walking away was a stressful decision but absolutely the right one. We stayed the course and the right home came along, a beautiful property in Lake Pointe with a pool, hot tub, a huge hill country view, and Lake Travis ISD. This is exactly why you need someone in your corner who will protect your interests and not just push a deal through. So happy for this family!

Congratulations to David and Sarah on purchasing their new home in Leander!

This transaction was a good reminder that patience can pay off.

We invested a lot of time pursuing another home that seemed like a terrific fit. After several rounds of negotiations, the seller ultimately decided not to sell and removed the home from the market.

Rather than getting discouraged or settling for something that wasn't right, David and Sarah stayed focused and trusted the process.

Soon afterward, we found another home that checked all the boxes. The seller was responsive, reasonable, and committed to finding solutions. We were able to work efficiently through inspections, negotiate repairs, secure financing, and close on a home that I think fits them extremely well.

David and Sarah brought a great balance to the process. They paid attention to the details, asked excellent questions, and made thoughtful decisions without losing sight of the big picture.

Congratulations to you both, and thank you for allowing me to be part of such an important milestone.

🏡 SOLD | Travis Country West

Congratulations to Ryan and Lauren on the successful sale of their Travis Country West home!

Their property at 5720 Sunsetcliff received a great offer and went under contract in just 4 days.

While getting top dollar is always important, the real challenge was coordinating the timing between the sale of their current home and the purchase of their next home in Lake Pointe.

Through careful planning and a leaseback arrangement, we were able to create a seamless transition that allows them to move directly into their new home this summer and avoid the hassle and expense of moving twice.

A special thank you to Ryan and Lauren for trusting me throughout the process. Ryan came to me through my friend and past client Dylan, and referrals like these mean more than I can adequately express.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to help great people achieve their real estate goals.

🏡 Congratulations to my clients, Mitzi and Jonah, on their new Perry Home in Parten Ranch!

One thing buyers don't always realize about new construction is that not every builder, neighborhood, or transaction is the same.

We initially had another new construction home under contract with a different builder. After careful consideration, my clients decided it wasn't the right fit. Rather than forcing a deal to work, we continued looking until we found a home and builder they felt truly confident about.

That decision led them to this beautiful Perry Home in Parten Ranch, one of my favorite communities in Dripping Springs ISD.

A special thank you to Kalym Kaechten for his professionalism and responsiveness throughout the process.

Helping clients make informed decisions is always more important than simply getting to the closing table. I'm excited for Mitzi and Jonah as they begin this next chapter back in Texas.
