The impact of COVID-19 on Lake LBJ real estate has been nothing short of mind blowing!  The market, after being a complete Ghost town for 45 days is moving like I have never seen before.  Many buyers are looking for Lake LBJ real estate as a place to getaway but also as a means to protect capital over fears of rapid inflation.  Below are a few top reasons why the market on Lake LBJ is so hot:

1. Buyers are cancelling out of state trips and looking to spend quality time at a vacation home
2. Buyers are looking to escape the city and the COVID-19 has proven that they can be just as productive working remotely
3. Buyers fear rapid inflation due to the amount of money that has been pumped into the economy. Hard assets tend to at minimum keep pace with inflation
4. Who doesn’t get excited about Lake LBJ in the summer?!

I would have never imagined in a million years that I would be on pace for yet another record setting year on the lake after the entire nation has shut down over fears of Corona Virus.  We always knew inventory was extremely limited and understood that people were moving to Texas in droves but never before has the true scarcity of Lake LBJ been on such full and wide display.  In such a competitive market it is extremely important to work with an experienced broker that knows the lake, understands the market and will work harder than anyone to ensure you are seeing all the available deals and opportunities and will use their expertise to help you accomplish your goals with Lake LBJ Real Estate.  Give me a call today at (512) 786-1515 for more information or to start a conversation to get the process started.  Hire the Expert.

One of my favorite deals of 2019 was selling 3210 Packsaddle in Blue Lake Estates. This open water Peninsula on the Sandy Arm offers over 300 feet of gorgeous Lake LBJ frontage.  The property had a small cabin, just under 1800 sq ft with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths that had been recently renovated.  This incredible package deal offered great value due it’s move-in ready ability but also a prime lot that could easily be demoed to make room for a larger home.  Blue Lake is arguably the best neighborhood on Lake LBJ so opportunities like this don’t present themselves often. In fact, this one had been owned by the same owner for 27 years. Without a doubt this choice spot has a spot on the Best of Lake LBJ list.

When you are looking for the perfect property on Lake LBJ make sure you are seeing all the inventory.  These prime opportunities often don’t ever hit the market.  Give me a call today at (512) 786-1515 to discuss your dream home on Lake LBJ.

The Carvajal Group is pleased to announce our must recent success story in Horseshoe Bay.  We aggressively priced 213 Bay Point in Horseshoe Bay at $2,000,000 and received multiple offers on this Horseshoe Bay estate.  The property is under contract for over asking price and we believe this is a win-win for both the buyer and seller.

When selling a home on Lake LBJ, effectively pricing a home is extremely critical.  We believe that a aggressive price tag will always generate the most interest and typical lead to a quick sale.  Some sellers don’t like the word “quick” because they feel that they are leaving money on the table but in our experience the properties that sell the fastest are the ones in which the seller has the most leverage.

As property values increase and holding costs become increasingly more expensive many buyers look to short term rentals to help generate income on these second home properties.  However, many areas on Lake LBJ have specific bans on short term rentals making them rare and hard to find.

When looking for a rental property on Lake LBJ it is very important to look clearly at your title policy and title commitment to ensure that there are no hidden deed restrictions that prevent an owner from renting out their property on a nightly basis.  Currently, most properties that are in Kingsland, Horseshoe Bay and Oak Ridge have no specific restrictions against short term rentals but buyers should always do their own homework and research before relying on such information.  In a few instances we have seen specific HOAs that prevent nightly rentals and that could be discovered during the title phase.

If you have questions specific to short term rentals on Lake LBJ or would like assistance with anything pertaining to Lake LBJ Real Estate contact me at (512) 786-1515

Blue Lake estates is located approximately 50 miles outside Austin, Texas and 75 miles away from San Antonio, TX, making it easily accessible from most major Texas cities and minutes away from one of the nation’s largest private airports. This luxury waterfront community is conveniently located inside the city of Horseshoe Bay, TX but sits just a few miles outside of the main resort. Many property owners feel this is a huge benefit as they get the prestige that comes along with a Horseshoe Bay address without all of the resort and tourist traffic. Convenience and serenity are just a few adjectives that come to mind when describing this particular Lake LBJ locale.

Blue Lake Estates was originally founded in the early 1960’s along the southern shores of Lake LBJ. At the time, there were no paved roads, street lights or telephone service due to limited development funds. Through the generosity and commitment by the community’s property owners, the money was quickly raised. This community involvement and camaraderie is still present today and is part of what makes Blue Lake Estates a one-of-a-kind community. Pride of ownership has never been so prevalent.

In 1965, one of the original developers of Blue Lake Estates, Bill Canfield, built the Blue Lake Estates clubhouse and golf course for the community. This hidden Texas treasure was designed by Houston, TX golf course designer, Joe Finger and was built around the rolling terrain and elevated greens offering a challenge to even the most skilled golfers while boasting incredibly scenic views of Lake LBJ and the Texas Hill Country. The course is made up of five par 3s, three par 4s, and one par 5 for a total yardage of 2376 yards per 9 holes. Many property owners own golf carts and can safely cart from home to course for a quick round of their favorite past time.

Blue Lake Estates also offers two neighborhood tennis courts which are available through yearly membership or single use play and is home to 5 private, lakefront parks scattered throughout the community:

• Wenmoh’s Park – Boat Dock, swimming beach, picnic tables

• Devil’s Hollow Park – Sport court, shaded game area (Bocce Ball, Washers, and Horseshoes), ½ Mile Long fitness trail, swings, picnic tables. This park also has storage facilities available to members only

• Driftwood Park – Day boat dock, lake swimming, picnic table and plenty of space for outdoor activities

• Blue Ridge Park – Huge trees and a beautiful setting to relax by the water

• Sandy Creek Park – designated storage for trailers and boats

Many of the waterfront communities on Lake LBJ require a septic system which often times creates development challenges and limits construction size on waterfront lots. However, Blue Lake Estates is part of the Llano county MUD, which provides sewer services to the homes in the area offering a clean and advantageous alternative for the community. Blue Lake Estates is also situated in Llano county which translates to one the lowest property tax rates on Lake LBJ, a very attractive quality for real estate investing.

Homes in Blue Lake Estates come in all shapes and sizes, ranging in price from the low $200’s up to $6 million+. Whether you are searching for a luxury waterfront home, a golfer’s paradise or a magnificent view house, Blue Lake Estates offers something for everyone. However, because of it’s desirability, many of these unique properties are passed down from generation to generation and very rarely come available for sale. When they do, they often sell for a premium and very quickly. In fact, in Blue Lake Estates we see many families desiring to stay in the neighborhood but moving up to bigger homes. These local residents often times purchase these rare properties before they hit the market.

If you have ever considered owning a home on Lake LBJ be sure to check out this well kept secret in Horseshoe Bay. Blue Lake Estates offers lifestyle and value beyond compare. Just add golf cart.
