Your Waterfront Address. Our Passion!
Are you working with an LBJ Expert?
Are you working with an LBJ Expert to find the perfect piece of property or are you just working with a Realtor in the area? Buying a waterfront home on Lake LBJ is a big investment and more importantly a process that is much different than buying a home in the city. Waterfront property is its own animal and there are many things to consider and know when buying Lake LBJ Real Estate. Too often I see homes go pending for way too much money because the agents representing these buyers don’t understand the market beyond face value, cost of construction and replacement, value or lack their of in boat houses, the orientation of the property and the type of water that it has. All of these factors matter and its very important that you work with an experienced Broker that will shoot you straight rather than try and make a quick buck.
As your Lake LBJ Real Estate expert I work full time selling only waterfront homes on Lake LBJ. My family has had a home on the lake for over 20 years and I grew up coming here since I was a small child. During that time I became very familiar with the different areas of the lake but more importantly the lifestyle that people are buying when purchasing in the area. When I am not showing property you will find me out on the boat, scouting properties, previewing available listings and familiarizing myself with every property that is available. I also make lists of good properties on the water and then approach the owners about selling to my clients. Each month we send about 3500 mailers to the property owners around the lake so we are the first to know about new listings to hit the market and have relationships with the owners of some of the best properties on LBJ.
I am very active representing buyers and sellers which gives me a good idea of what people are looking for on both ends. This insight and perspective really helps me best represent my clients.
If you are considering the purchase of Lake LBJ Real Estate, give me a call and let me share my passion with you! You can also take a moment to familiarize yourself with my top picks on Lake LBJ and read the comments so you understand my perspective and knowledge of the lake and available properties. I know my stuff and if that is something that you believe can help you buy right then give me a call at (512) 786-1515 and let me assist you.
Lake LBJ Unique Opportunity: Kingsland Open Water
For those of you in search of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity on Lake LBJ you have to take a look at our newest listing on Lake LBJ. 583 Crestwood is two contiguous, south-facing lots, on the Colorado arm just across from the Legends golf course in Kingsland. On one lot you will find an older home with approx. 3400 sq ft of living space, 3 bedrooms, 4 full baths and two living areas, both with fireplaces with approx 3400 sq ft in total. The home is very livable as is but could also offer great bones for a full remodel. The home has some very nice updates to work with including a newer standing-seam metal roof, updated HVAC systems and Pela wood sliding glass doors along the lakeside and in courtyard. The property is aggressively priced at $1,250,000.
On the second lot there is a newly built two stall boat house with a wave runner lift and second story roof top deck. The entire structure is made of concrete and metal and has an estimated value of approx $125,000 to replace today. Scattered across both lots are some of the biggest and most mature trees you will find on Lake LBJ. While the lots can be split, I believe the highest and best use is to keep together as one and remodel the home or tear down and build. Lake LBJ Real Estate like this is hard to come by and the property is special as one large property. The total waterfront footage for this property is approx 197 ft. Most of that is on the open water but approx 30 ft is at the mouth of a cove offering a great swimming area. The water here is also very deep relative to other parts of Lake LBJ.

Horseshoe Bay Real Estate: 3612 Pack Saddle Under Contract
The Carvajal Group is pleased to announce our most recent success with Horseshoe Bay Real Estate! 3612 Pack Saddle is under contract and The Carvajal Group is representing the buyer. This Blue Lake Estates home on Lake LBJ was originally listed on 5/23/2013 at a price of $995,000 and most recently had been lowered to $829,000. You are not going to believe the price at which my clients have this property under contract.
3612 Pack Saddle is a small cabin (1643 sq ft) in Blue Lake Estates, arguably one of the most desirable parts of Lake LBJ. This beautiful waterfront setting is filled with old oak trees and 107 ft of beautiful Lake LBJ waterfront. The home also has a two stall boat house which is being help up by metal piers, offering a true value should the buyers elect to tear the home and rebuild. A new boat house like this would cost anywhere from 85-100k in my opinion. While this home does face west, the back yard is completely shaded with trees offering the perfect lakeside environment to enjoy year around.

Oil Crisis Creates Short Term Opportunity on LBJ
We have all seen the price of gas at the pump and have heard about the sharp decline in oil prices and the expectation for a negative effect on the Texas economy. While I do believe that this down turn in the oil market will have some negative effects on some parts of Texas, I believe that it is creating opportunities for Lake LBJ Real Estate.
Overall the economy in Texas is very strong, partially from the benefits of a booming oil industry over the last few years but also because of other sectors as well including technology, real estate, construction, and medical to name a few. While the lower oil prices may keep a few big money buyers and also some lower price point buyers that are tied to or work in the oil fields on the fence, we will also see some good listings come online and motivated sellers. Many properties owners at Lake LBJ have historically been involved in the oil industry and when things get tight, vacation homes are the first to go.
The flip side is that there are still some great, high paying jobs and healthy local economies in surrounding cities such as Austin and San Antonio. Potential buyers are also feeling the benefits of low gas prices putting more in their pockets. Historically low interest rates also push people to invest their cash and not keep it in the bank and also provide for very low holding costs for financed real estate. When you combine these factors its pretty easy to understand why people will still continue to buy real estate but also why property owners, that are tied to the oil industry, may get motivated.
