Many real estate agents hire real estate photpgraphers to take photos of their properties and due to scheduling conflicts and time constraints some  will shoot the photos in the middle of the day or whatever hour they have available and then add in a “twilight effect” with photoshop to add drama. When purchasing Lake LBJ Real estate it is important to understand where the sun rises and sets and how it effects the property.  For this reason we feel its important to get up early or stay out late in order to both experience and shoot these prime moments at a property so we become more familiar.  When we take a listing we want to experience and feel the property to really understand its value enabling us to better sell it.  This also helps us value other properties we see based on these important qualifications.

Marketing Lake LBJ Real Estate takes commitment and passion to uncover the hidden value.  Whether you are buying or selling Lake LBJ Real Estate hire a trusted professional that knows the lake, understands the market and will work harder then anyone to help you accomplish your goals.  Give me a call today at (512) 786-1515 and allow me the opportunity to share how I feel I can add value to your Lake LBJ Real Estate transaction.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Today is our favorite day…..also known as closing day! Many sellers have an idea in their head that we only sell Lake LBJ real estate in the winter.  I am here to tell you that this is simply not the case.  A great broker sells homes all year around, in any economic and political environment.  That being said it is important to understand that pricing is CRITICAL!  When I originally took this listing I recommended a list price of $699,000 but the seller wanted to try $750,000 so we did.  We had a lot of action and some great showings but no offers.  After a few months we reduced the price to $690k, below my original recommendation (this happens when sellers dont listen) and the home quickly sold.

As a realtor my goal is to help my clients accomplish their real estate goals.  I am not a miracle worker or a magician just a damn good broker that knows my market like the back of my hand.  My vast market knowledge stems from my experience in selling lots of homes in the area and my commitment to studying current and sold inventory.  I work with many buyers and sellers in the Lake LBJ real estate market and understand how important pricing is to a top dollar sell. I do not create or set the market but rather I help my clients position their home amongst available inventory so it stands out.

If you have ever considered buying or selling Lake LBJ real estate I strongly urge you to give me a call.  I always shoot my customers straight and try to give them good, quality information that helps them make life decisions.  I would love the opportunity to discuss your real estate goals and or needs so give me a call at (512) 786-1515 today!

I am often asked about Short-term rentals (STRs) on Lake LBJ.  What many people do not realize is that most of Lake LBJ restricts STRs and the areas that actually allow them are few and far between.  Most of Kingsland allows STRs as Kingsland is not a municipality and the area is only governed by the county who does not regulate such uses.  There are a few areas, enclaves and subdivisions in which STRs are specifically deed restricted  or prevented by rules or regulations of a neighborhood or home / property owner’s association (HOAs).

The City of Horseshoe Bay does not restrict STRs however there are some HOAs that specifically restrict.  Sunrise Beach, for example, has a different rule which states that a homeowner cannot rent to more than one tenant in a 30 day period.  In my understanding of the rule it is that a particular homeowner could rent to a tenant for 1 day or 30 days he just would not be able to rent to another tenant for another 30 days.  Most people see this as a rule allowing monthly rentals and you see some of that going on in Sunrise Beach.  It should also be noted that what is true now may not be true in the future as rules can change.

Each property owner has a different motivation and so whether or not short term rentals are allowed is up to the property owner and their specific uses for the property.  For example, some property owners purchase a property strictly to rent out as an investment opportunity, while others will use rentals only to off set some holding costs associated with the property.  Still others, do not want renters next door to their luxury vacation home and seek areas that disallow STRs altogether.

Depending on where you fall on the spectrum its important to understand what a particular property allows and disallows and how that might change in the future.  Its important to work with a trusted real estate broker on Lake LBJ that can help you navigate through your property purchase.  Contact me, Eric Carvajal today at (512) 786-1515 for assistance with short term rentals on Lake LBJ or any other Lake LBJ real estate needs you may have.  I look forward to hearing from you!

Finding the right property can be very hard in today’s very tight market on Lake LBJ.  Inventory is extremely limited and prices are setting records on the lake.  Good deals are very hard to come by but if you are willing to step outside of your comfort zone and trust the Lake LBJ real estate expert you might find your dream home.

Take a look at 136 Winding Way in Sunrise Beach.  For starters, this property is one of the most unique settings I have every seen on Lake LBJ.  The large, tree-studded lot is full of great live oak trees providing lots of shade with lush St Augustine gently rolling down to the water with rare and unique granite outcroppings and boulders to accentuate the landscape.  There is a nice concrete bulkhead in place and a steel constructed boat dock already built to house your boat.  Down by the water’s edge is a small bridge leading you across the water and onto your own private island with open water views of Lake LBJ.  There is a small swimming hole at the water’s edge and great room to spread out and play by the lake.  How many properties have you seen that have an island?  I only know of a handful and they can be counted on one hand.

The house is a 2009 built log-style cabin with 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a useful sleeping loft for overflow.  The house boats huge branches used as support and has old barn wood flooring on the second floor to accent this Lake LBJ getaway.  The house has stainless appliances, gas cooking, high vaulted ceilings, stained concrete floors, a full size laundry room and the perfect, wrap-around porch to sit out and enjoy Lake LBJ.

So why hasn’t it sold?  To be honest this has been a question I have been asking myself lately.  I believe there are a few reasons it has not sold and they are:

1. The home was originally listed at $700k but has now been reduced to $599k making it one of the cheapest buyable properties on the lake
2. The house only has 2 bedrooms which some believe is too small for a lakehouse but with over 1800 sq ft and a sleeping loft I believe there is plenty of room to house many. When you are at the lake you pack it deep
3. Pictures don’t do this one justice. Many buyers look online and decide whether or not they will come to have a look.  Being that it is a log cabin with a very particular style many buyers pass it up in hopes to find something better

What I find interesting is that most buyers have unrealistic expectations when it comes to price and what one should expect in such price range.  If you ask me, this is hands down one of the best deals on Lake LBJ and I am more than confident that someone will be very happy owning this Lake LBJ dream.

If you are ready to make a good buy on the lake then call me today at (512) 786-1515!  I am here to assist with all your Lake LBJ real estate needs.

If you like trees then you will sure appreciate this post.  Trees have always been something I love and most importantly they provide a significant amount of value to Lake LBJ Real Estate.  Waterfront properties on Lake LBJ that have large, mature trees covering them are worth more than similar properties without trees.  These trees provide much needed shade in the hot summer but also add to the property from an aesthetic standpoint.  Because it takes 100s of not 1000s of years to grow to this size good trees are irreplaceable.

Check out this enormous, old growth live oak tree that lives on the shores of Lake LBJ in Sunrise Beach.  This tree has a healthy canopy with dense leaves providing the perfect shade for the house and patio.  The tree is a true force to be reckoned with and you can see that one really has to let it do its thing.  307 Deer is currently being offered for sale and this tree is one of the many things that makes this place so special.  what do you think?

If you are paying attention to the news, stock market or oil industry you are likely aware of this weeks rebound in oil prices. Many analysts believe oil prices have hit bottom and that prices are starting to recover. For Lake LBJ Real Estate, this could mean more luxury transactions above $1million.

The last few months have really slowed down as oil prices hit all time lows and have remained at that level for longer than people expected. Many high net worth buyers have sat on the fence and luxury sales have been slow to say the least. Will the rise in oil prices and overall sentiment that prices will only go up from here be enough to get those buyers back into the market place? Time will tell but for now it is my opinion that there are many deals to be had and if oil rebounds quickly that opportunity wont stick around for very long.

Many buyers on Lake LBJ want the instant gratification that comes with buying an existing house on LBJ. The decision to buy Lake LBJ real estate if often an impulse buy, but for those with patience, there are some great opportunities. Buying a waterfront lot and building your dream home can be a great move on Lake LBJ.

Most of the homes you find in neighborhoods like Granite Shoals, Highland Haven, Blue Lake and Sunrise Beach are typically older built homes without some of the perks of a new home. High ceilings , energy efficiencies and contemporary floor plans are just a few reasons why buying a waterfront lot on Lake LBJ and building can be an excellent move. The simple fact that most people prefer to buy something existing, means that lots typically trade at more opportune pricing as the demand is lower. With waterfront lots on Lake LBJ, days on market is typically longer and there is often times some excellent opportunities as prices are dropped. New construction trades at a premium and are in high demand so resale value is typically much higher on a new construction home.

Lots with existing, newly built boat houses can be a great purchase as some of the costs associated with building new are already taken care of. Before building, be sure to consult the Lake LBJ expert for assistance finding waterfront lots on Lake LBJ. Contact me today at (512) 786-1515

Check out this amazing photo I took this weekend after showing Lake LBJ Real Estate. You will see that Lake LBJ offers some of the most beautiful Texas sunsets you will find which is why Lake LBJ real estate is becoming more and more valuable.

While the sunset is nice to see, you can always capture it from the boat or dock. Property on Lake LBJ that face west are historically harder to sell and often trade for less money because the afternoon sun can be very undesirable on a hot summer day.

619 Sandy Mountain Drive is a true value for Lake LBJ real estate. This property contains a well maintained 2 bedroom, 1 bath cabin that has been tastefully updated and 47 feet of waterfront which includes a newly constructed steel boat house. The house is is situated on a beautiful protected cove about 100 yards from the main body of the lake. This private cove area is perfect for swimming, kayaking, canoeing and makes for an easy in and out for watercrafts. The cove also protects from rough water and noise from lake traffic.

The house has two spacious bedrooms plus a bonus third bunk area which could easily be converted into a additional bathroom. The kitchen has plenty of counter space and solid wood cabinets that could easily be painted for an updated look. The home also has a very large living room with large windows offering a beautiful view out to the lake. There is also a very large wood deck that leads down to the water adding some great value with outdoor living space.

The property also has a storage building which currently houses a full size washer and dryer and provides ample storage for tools and water toys. There is also a very nice carport that offers an awesome outdoor barbecue area and more outdoor living.

What I love most about this piece of Lake LBJ real estate is the lush green setting that creates a perfect waterfront yard, shaded from the harsh sun with plenty of room to enjoy and play. The huge, mature trees create the perfect canopy allowing in just the perfect amount of light. In my opinion the waterfront here is pretty ideal in that it offers cove protection with open water views on Lake LBJ. Grab your bathing suit and come home!

When buying a waterfront home on Lake LBJ it is critical that your Lake LBJ real estate professional ensures your square footage is what is being represented by the seller. It is not the real estate agent’s responsibility to actually measure as this is outside the scope of their work but your real estate appraiser should take measurements and compare it against what the taxing jurisdiction has listed.

I recently encountered an issue in which we discovered that my client’s home was 200 sq. ft. smaller than he believed and than was represented when he purchased the home. In this particular case the difference in value was approximately $30,000. This can be a significant difference and can materially affect the value of the property you are buying.

In areas such as Granite Shoals or Sunrise Beach where older homes exist there are often times added square footage that needs to be properly accounted for. When people make additions the square footage calculations can be off due to the fact that there is limited oversight and regulations governing construction in these areas. Many times you will see Lake LBJ waterfront homes built on stilts and the owner will close in the space below, nearly doubling the living square footage. However, be careful because depending on how this is done, the height of the ceilings and the quality of construction this may not be true square footage. Your Lake LBJ real estate professional can assist you in making this determination.

If you would like more information on square footage verification or Lake LBJ real estate, contact me today at (512) 786-1515

The interior of the property needs a remodel but with a very open layout, open kitchen and master down this property could easily be made into a very fine waterfront property on Lake LBJ. The property has popcorn ceilings and is kept very dark by the owner.

Just removing the owner’s stuff from the property would make all the difference in the world and would increase the value by 25k instantly. The property is listed for 420k but I imagine that it could easily be bought for under 300k.

411 Circle Drive – Sunrise Beach

The pictures don’t do this one justice; but thats what creates the opportunity! Call me if you want more information on this property or other waterfront homes on Lake LBJ.

609 S. Beach is a wonderful, wide open waterfront home, in Sunrise Beach just before the mouth of the river in Kingsland. The property is a 3 bed 2 full bath, 1804 sq ft home situated on approximately .33 acres with 75 feet of waterfront. The owner of the property purchased the property a few months back and then found a home he likes better that he has purchased. He installed a brand new metal boat house with electric lift and a two unit jet ski ramp. The property has been on the market for 35 days and is listed at 695.

The second property, 307 Deer, is also a top pick in my opinion. This property is 2456 sq. ft, built in 1968 with 150 feet of cover waterfront, facing east. The home is a 3 bed, 3 full bath with a 2 car garage and sits on a .35 acre lot. There is a beautiful, very old oak tree, in the middle of the property providing awesome shade in the hot summer months. This property has an older boat dock with an electric lift and will need some remodel but when completed it would make a fine lakefront escape.

Sunrise Beach has one of the lowest property tax rates on Lake LBJ.

The opportunity to purchase Lake LBJ real estate is here, right now! If you wait, you will still be able to buy a nice waterfront home on Lake LBJ but it will cost you more.

After a few discussions with local mortgage brokers it is the consensus that interest rates will rise about 1 full point by the end of 2013. This means that the cost of financing real estate will go up as we move through the year. With interest rates already bottoming out in the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2012, this rate increase is expected.

During the winter months, waterfront transactions on Lake LBJ slow down with the holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years) and with the cold weather making a lake house seem unnecessary. Seller’s that have been listed for a while saw a slow down in showing activity which can create a feeling of desperation. Now that we have made it through the election and the fiscal cliff scare buyers are regaining their confidence and will start investing at an increasing rate.

There are some wonderful opportunities out on Lake LBJ and if you are even thinking about purchasing I recommend moving now. The opportunity to buy Lake LBJ real estate will not be this good for a very long time, if ever.

There are some wonderful properties in areas like Granite Shoals, Sunrise Beach, and Highland Haven that only need a small amount of work to make them a real Lake LBJ gem.
