The Market is Heating Up……AGAIN!

Posted by on 2-02-24 in Lake LBJ Real Estate | Comments Off on The Market is Heating Up……AGAIN!

 

That didn’t take long and we aren’t surprised!  The market for Lake LBJ Real Estate is really starting to heat up quickly and homes are selling.  Now that interest rates have plateaued and people have become more comfortable with the new normal in terms of stock portfolio levels, etc. there are many buyers out searching for waterfront real estate.  Homes on GREAT water are selling quickly and close to asking price.  We have also experienced some multiple offers on our listings.

The biggest difference I am seeing today vs 2022 is that listing agents are having to be more strategic with their list price and the days of just picking a price out of thin air are gone. Remember they aren’t making any more waterfront property on Lake LBJ and there isn’t very much to begin with.  The cities in Texas around the lake like Austin, Dallas, Houston, Midland, San Antonio, you name it are all growing and thriving.  There are plenty of people with money that can afford these properties and we don’t expect a slowdown any time soon.

If you have considered purchasing waterfront real estate on Lake LBJ I highly suggest you give us a call.  We are experienced with the local market conditions and help our clients buy and sell right.  I would love to start a conversation with you so please reach out at (512) 786-1515

 

 

Coming Soon on Lake LBJ

Posted by on 1-01-24 in Kingsland Real Estate, Lake LBJ Real Estate | Comments Off on Coming Soon on Lake LBJ

Have I got a good one for you!  Welcome to 130 Hidden Oaks in Kingsland, Texas on Lake LBJ.  This single-story home sits on one of the most precious lots on Lake LBJ with approximately 80 feet of wide-open waterfront, located on what I like to call the “Transition” and staring out to undeveloped ranch land for miles.  Incredible views of Packsaddle Mountain (Home of the last cowboy and indian fight in Texas) from the kitchen and back porch.  This one-level home has been impeccably maintained and offers plenty of room for your family, friends and guests.  The double-decker, steel-constructed boat dock with roof-top deck is a true asset to this waterfront getaway and there is a touchless cover for your boat as an added bonus. This house has no steps and is located in a private, gated community that restricts against short-term rentals making the ideal location for a second home or primary residence.  This property is being aggressively priced at $1.9m and we don’t think you can find one better that compares.  This prime piece of Kingsland Real Estate has not yet been listed in MLS but will be soon.  We figured you would want a FIRST LOOK! Qualified buyers reach out at (512) 786-1515 to schedule your tour.

 

Why I am Buying Real Estate Right Now

Posted by on 1-01-24 in Lake LBJ Real Estate | Comments Off on Why I am Buying Real Estate Right Now

 

We don’t just sell Lake LBJ real estate but we are also actively investing in real estate ourselves.  You know there is a famous quote from Warren Buffet that says ” Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful”.  I am personally on the hunt right now for some quality real estate because I believe there is a lot of opportunity out there right now in the marketplace.  Here are a few reasons why why:

 

-Higher interest rates means there are less buyers shopping in the local real estate market

-The off-season (cold weather) typically brings about Great Deals as less buyers are out looking and properties aren’t as fun to own when the weather stinks 

-Personally I’d rather have a tangible piece of real estate with real utility, that has a chance to appreciate, over “dollars” sitting in some digital bank account.  

-Real Estate is an excellent hedge against inflation

-I have always done well investing in real estate and I believe in real estate as a long-term investment

 

If you want to learn more about deals and opportunities that may be available on Lake LBJ give me a call.  Opportunity knocks.

The water here is ideal with crushed-granite bottom without all the junk and muck and you have the perfect mix of big, open water and nice cove-protection. There is a very unique granite outcropping on the property with a fire pit that jets way out into the water; the perfect spot to roast marshmallows and sit around the campfire enjoying Lake Life! This place has amazing outdoor area with wrap around porches, various outdoor seating spots, a turfed play area and an amazing outdoor kitchen! The boat dock has multiple slips and room for all the toys plus a HUGE storage/tack room to keep boards, life jackets, tools etc. This unique piece of Lake LBJ Real Estate has it all!

Motivated Seller on Lake LBJ

Posted by on 11-11-23 in Lake LBJ Real Estate | Comments Off on Motivated Seller on Lake LBJ

If there has ever been an opportunity to buy a waterfront home right, I have it right here.  The sellers of 140 Web Isle in Granite Shoals have instructed me to get offers and sell this incredible waterfront home.  This prime piece of Lake LBJ Real Estate was originally listed at $3,000,000 and was recently reduced to $2,800,000 and the owner is ready to deal with the right buyer that can close quickly.

 

Here is what I really like about the property:

-Its all single story, which is very rare in lakefront because usually the lots are wide enough to get the square footage you want on one level

-This home has a 3 car garage which is also very rare for the same reason as above

-All the properties granite shoals are on septic except for a small few including this one. They are on a grinder pump connected to a sewer system. This allows for an addition (probably a second story) without needing to account for a septic drain field.

-This property has no restrictions against short term rentals if someone wants to run it like that

-218 feet of water is a ton for any property but it also looks very good on paper when you have a high-end home with that much water.  Most properties have 50-60 feet maybe 100, so 218 is a ton

-The living room / kitchen area is super open and is great for lake life.

 

Motivated sellers on Lake LBJ are very rare, especially on great properties.  If you have the means to buy right now this is your chance.  Qualified buyers reach out to learn more about this special home or if you have questions about Lake LBJ Real Estate reach out at (512) 786-1515

Pickleball Court on Lake LBJ

Posted by on 11-11-23 in Lake LBJ Real Estate, Luxury Real Estate on Lake LBJ | Comments Off on Pickleball Court on Lake LBJ

I am always impressed by the unique features I find when exploring properties on Lake LBJ but recently I have seen a new trend that really stands out. The game of pickleball has been around for quite some time as I remember playing this game as a young kid at Camp Longhorn. Recently the sport has gained a lot of popularity and attraction amongst people of all ages.  For those that don’t know, the game is a cross between ping pong and tennis and is relatively easy to learn and play.

One of my clients recently constructed a Pickleball court on their lake property and I think it was a brilliant idea.  What a great game to enjoy while out on the lake and because it is a game that can be enjoyed by most anyone I think its a great addition to any lakefront property…if you have the room.  Let me know what you think in the comments.   If you are interested in learning more about Lake LBJ Real Estate or if we can assist in any way please reach out!
