New city Park is larger than zilker and planned for West Austin!

Travis County to buy big swath of former Hill Country ranch for huge public park - Austin Business Journal The godfather of Austin's tech scene bought a ranch in the 1970s. Now, his descendants are selling the property to Travis County, which plans to turn it into a park and shield it from development. It will be more than four times the size of Zilker Park.

$399,000 - 2 Bed,1 Bath, beautifully wooded lot steps from the water. front living room has wall-to- wall windows, saturating the whole home with bright light, the cozy speak easy is eviting and so much fun!.

Did we say speak easy...? Yes - and you wont want to miss it. Check out the beautifully designed space featuring stand alone bar, ceiling tiles, chandeliers, surround sound, bar sink, and Alexa for voice control lighting and music. RV hookups provide opportunity for additional guest to visit. This property is income producing and could marketed as an Air BnB but would also be great for a primary or secondary home. The area provides both a serene environment for the quite enjoyment of the natural world as well as, lake access within walking distance from the house and entertaining local destinations like wineries, restaurants, boat and water sport rentals, golf courses and clubs, and convenient proximity to HEB location.

I've been upset on more than a few occasions. Austin will never be on this list and my heart breaks for buyers who feel priced out of Austin by the price hike of the early 2020's and now the interest rates. Being born and raised here in Austin - I've seen it change ....and some is not for the best....like these types of problems. BUUUUUT, I do want to offer some . Did you know that there are some amazing price cuts and seller - both in the new-build market AND resale markets that could reduce your rate to sub 4's?

For example new homes in the Meritage Homes Morning Star neighborhood in
are offering 3% of the base price to be used towards closing cost or a rate buy down and paid owner title policy plus a 5.875% fixed rate (Home must close by 12/18/23).

or

3.875% 1st year
4.875% 2nd Year
5.87% Years 3-30
Partial paid closing cost and paid owner title policy
(Home must close by 12/18/23).

They even have incentive for Investors:
$4,000 to be used towards closing cost or a rate buy down and paid owner title policy plus 1K-20K of additional incentives.

Many are offering the 3,2,1 buy down as well!

If you want to be in a for the - that may be within reach. And our preferred lender ( Justin Hrabovsky at CMG Financial ) can close on almost any house in less than 30 days. He closed on our personal house in 8 days and did the same for a recent client of ours.

I'm saying this because it makes me sad that now that the house prices are more "achievable" and the COVID price spike is over - that the interest rates are now making buyers feel hopeless. It seems like no matter what .... or or other towns seems like an impossible dream to achieve. I know not everybody is in a position to do so but - THERE are creative problem solving and out here that can help in most cases. AND there are builder and seller incentives to take advantage of that are !!!!Amazing!!!
