One of my favorite deals of 2019 was selling 3210 Packsaddle in Blue Lake Estates. This open water Peninsula on the Sandy Arm offers over 300 feet of gorgeous Lake LBJ frontage.  The property had a small cabin, just under 1800 sq ft with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths that had been recently renovated.  This incredible package deal offered great value due it’s move-in ready ability but also a prime lot that could easily be demoed to make room for a larger home.  Blue Lake is arguably the best neighborhood on Lake LBJ so opportunities like this don’t present themselves often. In fact, this one had been owned by the same owner for 27 years. Without a doubt this choice spot has a spot on the Best of Lake LBJ list.

When you are looking for the perfect property on Lake LBJ make sure you are seeing all the inventory.  These prime opportunities often don’t ever hit the market.  Give me a call today at (512) 786-1515 to discuss your dream home on Lake LBJ.

• Hire an Expert to represent you – Lake LBJ is different then markets like Houston or Austin and working with an area expert is invaluable in finding deals and opportunities but also in avoiding costly mistakes.  You want to be represented by an experienced real estate broker that knows the lake and understands the market and can offer you real guidance on a properties real value, resale potential, desirability on the lake and upside.

   

  • Manage your Expectations – Understanding what good properties cost is a very important part of making a good investment on the lake.  If your budget does not allow you to purchase a good property my recommendation is to hold off until you can afford something worth investing.  At the same time, if your original budget can be increased to get something better there is often times a lot to gain with a budget increase.

   

  • Buy the Best Water – The waterfront on Lake LBJ is the scarce resource and why you are interested in purchasing.  Always go for the best waterfront you can buy as an investment strategy and prioritize the house second.  If you buy good water you can always build, remodel or add on to get the house you want but a great house on bad water will not make you happy.

   

  • Don’t let asking price scare you – Every situation is different and no two seller’s motivations for selling are the same.  Just because something is listed above your budget don’t be afraid to make an offer.  While I can’t guarantee every offer will be accepted I have seen some crazy things happen on the lake.  If you like a property, make an offer at the price you are willing to pay and see if it sticks. You never know.

  If you or someone you know is in the market for Lake LBJ Real Estate, contact me today at (512) 786-1515 and let me share some of my favorite deals and opportunities on the lake.  I look forward to hearing from you!

  If you are tired of old architecture and the simple lake shack then take a look at 1530 Hill Top.  This property is a brand new construction home with 110 ft of gorgeous waterfront and even better views.  This approx 3000 sq ft home offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths with master on the main level and two living rooms plus wrap around balcony offering some of the most impressive Lake LBJ and Hill Country Views.  Outdoor deck features full kitchen and the brand new boat house is over sized and ready for most any boat.  Below is a link to an HD video we shot of this amazing piece of Lake LBJ Real Estate.

In fact, it can be so challenging that I often times recommend that my buyers remodel or even build new from scratch.

  Waterfront lots and even major remodel projects tend to trade at a discount as most buyers are impulsive and do not want to wait to start enjoying their Lake LBJ Real Estate.  However, a little delayed gratification can go a long way when it comes to Lake LBJ Real estate.  For those willing to go through the hassle and headaches associated with a major remodel or new build that payoff is big.

  

  Take for example my newest listing in Blue Lake Estates, Lake LBJ’s most desired area and the closest part of Lake LBJ to Austin and San Antonio.  2904 pack Saddle offer 83 ft of water and approx. 3000 sq ft of rock solid bones to remodel or tear down in order to get that dream home on Lake LBJ.  The project looks rough as you walk in and many buyers are instantly deflated as the amount of work needed to spiff this property up is a lot.  However, the payoff would be huge and for someone wanting to get inside Blue Lake Estates for under $1.5m, this may be the only option.

  

  Of course I understand the benefits of a move-in ready, turn-key property but as an active investor in real estate I prefer to add value and “do the deal” as opposed to paying top dollar to someone else that already completed it. I also understand that a turn-key, move in ready property in Blue Lake would be very expensive.  There are some great builders/contractors in the area that can take most of the risk and stress out of these major projects and more importantly that will do a great job creating your getaway.

  Are you willing to take your time to get exactly what you want on Lake LBJ?  I challenge you to consider this alternate route and I am confident you will be pleased with the outcome.  If you or someone you know is considering building or remodeling Lake LBJ Real Estate, contact me at (512) 786-1515

  When assisting buyers in purchasing a waterfront home on Lake LBJ I often notice that many people are more focused on the house and the interior square footage rather than the waterfront and outdoor living.  Being at Lake LBJ is about enjoying the environment and taking full advantage of the beautiful scenery and all that the lake life has to offer.   Lets face it, if it wasn’t for the lake setting, many buyers would not be considering a purchase in the area.

  My newest listing on Lake LBJ at 808/810 Misty Downs offers a great example of a well designed home that takes full advantage of its surroundings through the use of outdoor living spaces.  The owners of this property built the home and really made an effort to maximize their ability to use the lake but and to enjoy the invaluable piece of property their home sits on.  You will see in these pictures that there are numerous different areas to sit, relax and enjoy Lake LBJ and when you have guests over for a long weekend having a quiet spot to getaway for a few minutes can come in handy.

  When searching for waterfront homes on Lake LBJ try and focus more on the property, the potential for outdoor living areas and how you will use the land; pay less attention to the house as that can always be altered.  The waterfront is the scarce resource and if you focus your search on good waterfront lots on Lake LBJ, you will end up with a better investment and a property you will enjoy for many years to come.

  Spring Break is officially here and for Lake LBJ Real Estate this is when the real estate season begins!  Many future buyers come down and stay at the Horseshoe Bay Resort or rent waterfront homes on Lake LBJ from sites like VRBO and AirBnB.  Anyone that has visited Lake LBJ in the spring knows that once you come down and experience all that this part of the Texas Hill Country offers you cannot ignore the itch.  Once they have been infected with the Lake LBJ itch, the search for their dream home on Lake LBJ begins, officially kicking off the lake season.

  As Texas’ population continues to sky rocket and the amount of available waterfront remains unchanged, Lake LBJ Real Estate is becoming more and more scarce.  In fact, it is my belief that in a few years Lake LBJ Real Estate will be untouchable because it will be so expensive and hard to come by.  Buyers that are forward thinking and understand that owning Lakefront property on Lake LBJ is part of their future goals may try and acquire a choice tract of land now while it is still affordable and do what they want with it later; this is how you invest in Lake LBJ Real Estate.

  You wouldn’t hire a foot doctor to perform surgery on your heart nor would you allow a veterinary to treat your child for illness. Why? Because EXPERTISE matters. Investing in waterfront homes on Lake LBJ is no different. Working with a local expert that understands the local market is super important when buying Lake LBJ Real Estate. You need someone that understands value in different properties, what happens in bad economies and good ones, and someone that actually lives on the Lake.

  Do you think your waterfront real estate agent should know the lake better than you? Should they own a boat? Hopefully they have at least been out on a boat on Lake LBJ, but do you even know? I understand people like to work with friends but if your friend is not willing to refer you to someone that knows the market better then themselves are they really treating you like a friend?

  Hiring a waterfront expert on Lake LBJ is critical and when you are investing hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, you need to work with someone that has experience and knows how to guide you. Its important that you are represented by someone that will be honest and tell you what NOT to buy and that puts your interest over their own commission.

  My family has owned a waterfront home on Lake LBJ and I have spent the majority of my life out on the lake. I know Lake LBJ like the back of my hand. I don’t just sell waterfront homes on Lake LBJ but I actually own one. I sell enough real estate that I don’t need you to buy something for my family to eat. I shoot my clients straight and give them brutally honest advice to help them make the best decision and sometimes that means NOT TO BUY.

  Why would you allow a broker from Austin or San Antonio to represent you when buying a waterfront home on Lake LBJ? Lake LBJ is a very unique market and access to the MLS does not translate to experience. If you want to buy right on Lake LBJ, hire someone that lives on the water, understands the market and lifestyle and will shoot you straight.

  You know those really amazing waterfront properties you see in pictures? The ones with big trees and lush green grass? Those properties should be everyone’s goal when searching for Lake LBJ real estate. But what many people don’t realize is that those properties most likely did not look like that when the current owners purchased them. Those waterfront homes on Lake LBJ look like that today because there has been years and years of care and love that has gone in to shaping those properties into what they are today.

  Today I am pleased to report that my lucky buyers got one of these “forever properties” under contract. However, this property may not look so great at first glance. In fact, it has been on the market for 172 days, originally listed at 775K and then slowly dropped to $625k. The actual sales price will not be posted in MLS until after the deal closes but lets just say my clients are getting an awesome deal here.

  While this property does need a significant amount of work, the property has two of the biggest oak trees you will find on Lake LBJ along with cypress, pecan and numerous other trees scattered throughout the property. This property is a true gem, and while it may not look like it now, with some love and TLC you will soon see what I am talking about.

  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.

  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.

  Must ask questions when buying a waterfront home on Lake LBJ

  When purchasing real estate in any market, it’s very important to work with a local expert that has recent experience and is actively selling property. You have worked hard for your money and you want to be sure that you invest that money wisely. Each market is different and with so much changing daily in this booming Texas economy, your local expert will help you minimize the risk while making a smart purchase.

  Lake LBJ real estate is no different –special and careful attention should be given to the waterfront real estate search process. Lake LBJ is a unique lake in an equally unique part of Texas and with it come intricacies that only a true Market Expert would be able to properly advise clients on. These intricacies affect resale value, liquidity and utility and buyers need to be educated on these details so they can make a sound investment in a property that provides lasting enjoyment. When buying waterfront homes on Lake LBJ, if a budget exist a buyer must make trade-offs. Finding the perfect balance between sacrifice and benefit is the key to a sound purchase.

  Must Ask Question #1: Which way does the property face?

  Summers in Texas are hot! Real hot! And there is never a shortage of sun in a place like Lake LBJ. Waterfront homes that face into the sun (the lake side) and do not have adequate shade can be very uncomfortable and often times a disappointment. A local expert can point out which way the sun faces and how it will affect the use of the property. If the afternoon sun is directly beating onto the property, this could not only hinder your outdoor enjoyment but will also make it difficult to keep interior living areas cool during afternoon hours. These homes are hard to resell. However, direct sun is not always a deal breaker. Good tree coverage or homes designed around the sun could be worth considering and if you are able to make one work, you can be sure the hill country sunset views will be magical.

  Must Ask Question #2: What is the water like?

  On Lake LBJ there is open waterfront, cove waterfront and channel waterfront, each of which are very different. You also have main body- the Colorado arm and the Llano arm- which offer very unique settings along with pros and cons. Most buyers are initially looking for open water as it typically has the best views. However, a deeper understanding will prove that open waterfront is typically associated with rougher water. Practically speaking, large cove waterfront could be your best bet as it offers ideal boating conditions and excellent swimming. Channel waterfront is hard to invest in as it is generally seen as the least desirable waterfront type and most buyers will not even consider it. There are some very nice homes built along the channels on LBJ but many of them sit on the market for more than a year because of the poor waterfront. Understanding the value of the actual waterfront lot is a great place to start.

  Must Ask Question #3: What is the water bottom like?

  Another important aspect of waterfront is the lake bottom. Many buyers never know what their feet will find beneath the water before they buy a home. In fact, most are so excited about the house they do not even know that they should examine the lake bottom. Let me offer some expert advice: No one likes a slimy lake bottom. The ideal waterfront is deep with some type of granite or sand bottom. A very relevant issue on Lake LBJ is milfoil. This weed-like species is very prevalent and thriving on Lake LBJ’s bottom due to warmer water temperatures and the recent drought conditions preventing LCRA from lowering the lake for temporary cleaning. Milfoil can be a big problem with waterfront property as it is invasive and grows rapidly. If not treated and managed, it will overtake your waterfront and be a problem for years to come. Some crevices, inlets and small coves tend to collect trash and debris because of the natural currents that push and hold this debris in particular spots. Properties with this problem will always have this problem and it’s rare that it can be treated or altered. At Lake LBJ, the scarce resource is the actual waterfront property and understanding the ins and outs is dire.

  

  Along with these more obvious traits surrounding waterfront properties there are many other smaller but sometimes equally important peculiarities that only a market expert can properly advise you on. Issues like LCRA required septic inspections, fill property/survey issues and flood plain classification can all be very expensive hurdles to overcome. Boat house condition is also something that needs to be evaluated in order to determine market value. A new boat house can cost anywhere from $50k – $250k and determining if a specific property will need a new boat house is critical. Boat houses made of steel and concrete are much more durable and last longer than those made of wood as typically seen in older properties. Understanding potential liabilities and needed repairs on the front end will save any buyer a substantial amount of money.

  Buying property on Lake LBJ is a very exciting process and emotions often run high. Hiring and working with a true market expert will help safeguard your experience-to ensure one’s emotions do not get the best of them and that properties of interest are properly evaluated. It’s not uncommon to see the good properties stay in families for generation after generation but the bad ones are likely to cycle through the market. Do your homework and hire the right professional to assist you in finding your dream home on Lake LBJ. Invest wisely!

  Current market conditions surrounding waterfront homes on Lake LBJ can be very frustrating. With that frustration comes an emotional panic that many people experience as they want to move on something quickly out of fear they will miss out. I have been selling real estate for 12 years and I can assure you that more properties always become available. My advice to any buyer of Lake LBJ Real Estate is simple: Stay Patient and be ready to act quickly.

  Just because recent waterfront homes on Lake LBJ may have had multiple offers or sold before you had a chance to look, do not panic. Be patient and allow your Lake LBJ market expert to do his job. I am busy, scouting the market, turning over stones and doing everything I know how to find good Lake LBJ real estate. Any buyer that chooses to work with me needs to have patience and trust that I will find them their dream home; but I need time.

  The other important piece its to be ready. When I say ready, I mean ready to pull the trigger when that good property comes available. If you are serious about buying a waterfront home on Lake LBJ then be ready to come up on short notice and have a look. Get pre-qualified or have your cash readily available to make a move. There is a natural lag in the amount of time it takes for people to come from out of town to see new waterfront listings on Lake LBJ. That lag can be an advantage if one can act quickly.

  Inventory levels with Lake LBJ real estate have really started to rise as the summer is coming upon us quickly but I must say, the pricing is a little disappointing. It is always frustrating when agents and brokers flood the market with overpriced listings hurting the market overall. Rather than just taking whatever they can get, these agents should offer accurate pictures of the market and turn down overpriced listings. Overpriced listings do not sell at Lake LBJ. Don’t be fooled!

  Post-crash, buyers are looking for strong value when purchasing waterfront real estate on Lake LBJ. They are not willing to overpay for Lake LBJ real estate as was the case in 2005 and 2006. These buyers want opportunity and good deals and rather than looking at previous comps that look at the market to see what money can buy.

  Accurately pricing real estate on Lake LBJ is the only way to yield top dollar but many sellers are working off bad information. How are you supposed to make decisions that affect your finances and your future if you are given a true picture of market conditions. A sign in your yard is one thing, a contract to close is another.

  I work hard for my clients, using my expertise and market knowledge for the gain of my clients. I shoot my clients straight the first time so they can have good information to rely on for their well being. I price property to sell because that is what I am hired for and I will not take an overpriced listing so that I can put a sign in your yard to advertise my business.

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.

  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.

As you will see there was quite a bit of activity on Lake LBJ. With interest rates low and the incentive to sell property prior to the end of 2012 to avoid higher capital gains taxes really helped to boost sales of waterfront homes on Lake LBJ.

  There are some great deals out there in areas like Granite Shoals, Sunrise Beach, Highland Haven, and Kingsland for the under $1 Million dollar buyer and also some very nice opportunities in Horseshoe Bay and Applehead Island for the big money buyers.

  Currently there are 306 active, waterfront homes on Lake LBJ for sale ranging from $69,000 to $7.9 million. If you are even considering the sale of your home you must first understand the mentality of the buyer (and rightfully so). The buyer has options when it comes to Lake LBJ Real Estate. 306 of them to be exact. The buyer is smarter with their money and is looking for a good investment because there exists supply.

  Good properties on lake LBJ will sell fast if they are priced right. Good properties on Lake LBJ will take a very long time to sell and will sell for much less than they are worth if they are priced wrong.

  Take a moment to browse through some of these waterfront listings on Lake LBJ (if you even need to) to understand that there is a good amount of inventory and if you want to sell, you must make your property attractive to the waterfront buyer. When your trusted Lake LBJ real estate professional gives you sound advice about how to price your waterfront home on Lake LBJ, pay attention because Eric Carvajal knows the market. I am active, not only working with a good amount of waterfront buyers but also walking my dog in the neighborhood and cruising around Lake LBJ on my bike. I am living and breathing Lake LBJ real estate and it takes that type of passion, vision, and experience to truly understand the market. Does an agent really know the market if they have not been out on a boat on Lake LBJ this year?

  When someone calls me to sell their home, they are essentially asking me to tell them what I think I can sell it for and how much it will cost. I am never looking to take on a listing I don’t believe in. I want to sell good properties to good buyers at a good price. Thats a deal and deals get done. I want to provide realistic information to property owners on Lake LBJ so that they can make educated decisions regarding their families and their future. If I allow you to over price your home, aren’t I doing you a disservice?

  If you are ever considering selling your waterfront home on Lake LBJ or interested in talking Lake LBJ real estate, give me a call at (512) 786-1515.

  Here are four very important Tips to consider when buying waterfront property on Lake LBJ:

  1) Waterfront footage – How much footage does the property have and what is the depth of the lot? Many people invest in Lake LBJ real estate without regard to how close their neighbors are on each side. On the water, sound travels so noise your neighbors make carries and can be a disturbance. You also are investing for a place that you can relax and have privacy and peace. The party your neighbors are throwing on the weekend does not help your cause.

  2) Direction of property – Which way does your waterfront home on Lake LBJ face? The afternoon sun can be pretty extreme and without proper shade cover this can really be a downer. Make sure you visit the property you are considering multiple times and at different times of the day to understand what you are working with.

  3) Ground beneath the water – What is the consistency or composition of the ground below? This is a very important consideration that is often missed. Lake LBJ has different bottoms in different areas. Whether its granite, sand, mud, slime or weeds, its important to know what you will be touching each time you take a dip to cool off. Slimy ground cover beneath the Lake can be pretty uncomfortable for most people. Obviously the best would be sand and second rock/granite.

  4) Distance from structure to water – Do you have a yard and if so, how big is it? Many waterfront homes on Lake LBJ are built right up to the water while others are set far back away from the lake. This has a lot to do with the flood plain and where one can actually construct a home but you should pay attention to this detail. If you are right on the water, is there a place for the grandkids to play or is it simply a concrete slab which starts at the house and ends at the water? Other properties, like in Kingsland, are set back farther to prevent flooding but offer big yards with lots of green grass. For most this is a huge plus but others will not want to trek just to arrive at the lake. Each buyer wants something different and none are worse than the other. Just pay close attention and take this into consideration when making your decision to buy Lake LBJ real estate.

  ]]> https://www.lbjrealestate.com/new-hospital-planned-near-lake-lbj/ Tue, 10 Jul 2012 16:49:11 +0000 https://www.lbjrealestate.com/?p=377 Scott and White Healthcare has plans to accelerate the hospital that it has been planning in Marble Falls, near Lake LBJ. As of April 2012 the plan is to have 44 beds open by 2014 and eventually expand to 80 beds in the facility, which will be located near the corner of Texas 71 and U.S. 281.

  This is great news for Lake LBJ real estate values as viable healthcare is a necessary element to any retirement community. Currently there are many retirees that have relocated to the Marble Falls area and have purchased waterfront homes on Lake LBJ but without great healthcare facilities in the general viscinity its hard for this to be sustainable. Many of these Lake LBJ property owners are forced to sell their homes and move closer in to the major cities.

  Hopefully this hospital will stay on track and Lake LBJ real estate can continue to prosper. For more information on the new hospital in Marble Falls, Texas or for assistance with Lake LBJ real estate, contact me at your convenience at (512) 786-1515
