I want to use this Blog as a source to keep you updated on our local real estate market and other things that go on in our local areas including the Liberty Hill, Georgetown, Leander, and Bertram areas. In doing so, I hope to pass along some POSITIVE news about the real estate industry, especially in our local areas as compared to the national news you hear about. I ran across yet another article from Forbes.com that shows Austin as the #4 Best Seller's Market...but this still means that the sellers need to be in tune with what the market says their property is worth...but this still shows positive news about our area!!!
"4. Austin, Texas
In this affordable Lone Star State market, construction rates are in line with job growth and population increases, and as a result vacancies have remained steady at a healthy 1.5%. The Austin metro area boasts the country's fastest job growth (4.1%), based on Bureau of Labor Statistic records. The city won't benefit from the change in conforming loan rates, but the market isn't so overextended that it desperately needs better access to capital."
We must all stay positive about our area and the growth that we should be seeing, and forge forward through these times of negative press!! We are also starting to see the Liberty Hill Real Estate market liven up with more and more activity each day...
