Have you seen this new message on the corner of Barton Springs and Lamar? It's a good reminder to stay safe along with the reminder of Home Alone, that hilarious little film from 1990. Hard to believe it's been 30 years!

It's also hard to believe that the holiday break is upon us and this wild year is almost over. This year especially, I'm counting my blessings and doing my best to enjoy and savor every moment I have with my loved ones. I hope you are doing the same and also getting out and enjoying the spectacular lights this year. If you want to see a Griswold tribute house, drive by 11510 Champion Drive in Balcones Village. It's amazing!

Even during this season, lots of people we know are moving or beginning to plan their 2021 moves. If you have a need or want to have a conversation about real estate, I'm always here for you and the people you love!

Let's Talk!

Austin Real Estate

In the News

Austin has been getting some serious nationwide coverage recently, especially with an influx of tech companies continuing to move to Austin. And with the most recent announcement of Oracle’s relocation to the area, Austin remains in the spotlight!

Expanding on this, KXAN recently published an article about Austin’s overall appeal and real estate growth, stating that “while the pandemic has come with debilitating economic blows to many industries, it’s seemed to have the exact opposite effect on Austin residential real estate. The Austin Board of Realtors’ most recent housing report shows Austin homes selling faster and at higher prices than ever before.”
