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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
