Kim Burke - Austin Luxury Real Estate

Selling a home is about so much more than putting a sign in the yard and uploading photos.

Long before a listing goes live, I’m helping homeowners evaluate their property through a buyer’s eyes, identify worthwhile updates, coordinate trusted vendors, discuss staging, determine the right pricing strategy, prepare the marketing, and create a thoughtful launch plan.

That behind-the-scenes work matters. Every decision shapes how a home is presented, how confidently it enters the market, and ultimately, how it performs.

If you’re considering selling, even if it’s still months away, starting the conversation early can make the entire process smoother and more successful. Let’s create a plan before you’re ready to list.

Why aren’t home prices crashing, even as the market cools?

The latest national housing data points to a market that is softening, but not collapsing:

• Pending sales are nearly even with last year
• Active inventory has risen above 1.1 million homes
• 42% of listings have reduced their original price
• The median list price is $449,000, about 2% below last year

More price reductions tell us buyers are cautious and pricing matters. But unlike 2008, today’s homeowners generally have more equity and stronger loans. Without widespread pressure to sell, many homeowners can wait rather than accept a dramatically lower price.

The result is a market where homes can still sell well, but strategy matters more than ever.

National statistics provide helpful context. The right decision depends on your neighborhood, price point, property, and goals.

If you’re wondering what these shifts mean for your next move, I’d be happy to help you look beyond the headlines and understand the market that matters to you.

Nothing means more than earning a client’s trust and delivering the results they hoped for.

“We had the pleasure of working with Kim Burke on listing our unique lake front property on Lake Travis. From the very beginning, Kim demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, patience and expertise which made the entire process stress free for us, especially since we lived 3 hours away. Kim is responsive, personable, kind and patient to work with. We felt confident and secure that she had our best interests at heart. Kim exceeded our expectations and made the entire sale seamless. If you are looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable and approachable realtor, Kim Burke is the perfect choice. We would happily work with Kim again and recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy real estate professional.” - Windy W.

Two properties. Two excited buyers. One step closer to home. 🏡

TBA Evergreen Way and 270 Mallet Court are officially under contract! Buyer represented.

Helping buyers is about more than finding a property. It’s about listening to what matters most, recognizing the right opportunity, building a strong offer, and providing clear guidance from the first showing through closing.

If you’re thinking about buying in Dripping Springs or the surrounding Hill Country, I’d love to help you find the right fit, too.

More square footage doesn’t always mean the right kind of space.

At 17509 Village Drive, every area has a purpose. That means an open living area with high ceilings and a stone fireplace, a main-level primary suite, two covered porches and a deep detached garage with room for storage, hobbies or a workshop.

Add in more than a quarter-acre, neighborhood lakes and parks, and convenient access to Bee Cave, Lakeway and the Hill Country Galleria, and you have a home that offers a little more breathing room without the upkeep of a large property.

17509 Village Drive, Dripping Springs, Texas
3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 1,393 sq. ft.
Offered at $389,000
