Property Tax Rates on Lake LBJ
Good Opportunity under 400k
If you are in the market for Lake LBJ real estate or Sunrise Beach real estate, check out 411 Circle Drive is an excellent opportunity that I think could be purchased for under 400k. This property sits on a .42 acre lot with 100 feet of waterfront, at the mouth of channel just off the main body on Lake LBJ. The property has beautiful views and a nice sized yard and boat house.
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.

What Constant Level Means
I was sent this video today that I had to share showing the water levels on Lake Travis. One cannot help but cringe when they see how much the water levels have come down and how much dry land is exposed. Lake LBJ real estate has never looked so good!

Lake LBJ real estate opportunity
1524 Hill Top in Granite Shoals is coming back on the market, exclusively marketed by The Carvajal Group and Eric Carvajal.
This property was originally listed at $1,200,000 in February of 2012 in the Highland Lakes MLS. The property was eventually reduced to $989,000 but the property did not sell. The Carvajal Group is bringing this property to the market at a very aggressive price of $699,00 which in my opinion is the best waterfront deal available on Lake LBJ.
This property has 427 ft. of open cove waterfront and 2.1 acres of property with mature trees, a 3 bedroom, 3 bath home and a newly constructed concrete and steel, two boat slip boat house with electric lift. This property is actually plotted as 2 separate lots however their is a septic tank that crosses over the two properties, which would have to be handled before the properties could be sold separately. The home needs some updating but I believe has a usable structure that can be improved to build a dream home on Lake LBJ.
If you would like to schedule a private showing of this magnificent piece of Lake LBJ real estate at 1524 Hill Top, please contact me at (512) 786-1515.

A Foggy View of Granite Shoals
This shot was taken yesterday, 1/12/2012, in Granite Shoals of Lake LBJ. I was out showing Granite Shoals real estate in this weather and managed to write two contracts for buyers I was representing. The weather was grim but even with this crazy amount of fog, Granite Shoals real estate has never looked so pretty.
If you are considering the purchase of Granite Shoals real estate or waterfront property on Lake LBJ, contact me today at (512) 786-1515. You need an agent that knows the lake. I live and breath Lake LBJ real estate.
Two waterfront deals in Sunrise Beach
If you are looking for Sunrise Beach real estate, check out these two deals that have incredible potential.
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 is Here!
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.
