With Memorial Day weekend here, I wanted to share a few local things going on that you might enjoy checking out!

Hope everyone has a safe and relaxing weekend, and if you’re heading out, here are a few things worth adding to your list!

If the goal is to be unpacked and enrolled before the first day of school, the search needs to start well before it feels urgent.

Contracts take time. Inspections take time. Closing takes time. And then there's the actual move. It all adds up faster than most people expect.

Save this if you have a school-year deadline on your calendar. DM me if you want to map out a realistic timeline for your situation.

I tell relocating families to visit Barton Hills on a Saturday morning with nothing planned.

Not to tour a house. Just to walk it.

Because the things that actually matter here don't show up in listing photos. The way the Greenbelt trailhead feels closer than you expected. How quiet the streets stay even though you're minutes from South Lamar. The kind of shade cover you only get from older trees.

It's a neighborhood that reads calm but still keeps you connected to the rest of Austin. And honestly, most people don't realize that combination exists here until they spend a morning in it.

If you're moving your family to Austin and nobody's mentioned spending time here yet, save this and let's change that.

I put together a few local events happening this weekend in case you’re looking for something fun to do.

Whether you’re planning a family day out, a date night, or just want a reason to get out of the house for a bit, there are some great things going on around town.

Hope this gives you a few ideas!

I keep seeing buyers hesitate on homes that have been listed for 40+ days, assuming something's wrong. And I get it. 51 days sounds slow compared to what Austin used to be.

But that metro-wide number is doing a lot of heavy lifting. It's blending turnkey homes in Bouldin that go under contract in two weeks with outdated listings that need work and have been sitting since February.

The days-on-market count isn't good or bad on its own. It's a signal, and you need context to read it correctly.

Some of the best deals I've seen this year were homes that sat longer than average for completely fixable reasons. price, photos, timing. Nothing structural.

If you're looking at a listing and can't tell whether the days on market is a red flag or just noise, send it my way. I can usually tell you which bucket it falls into pretty quickly.

East Austin has more homes for sale right now than it has in a while. But "more listings" doesn't automatically mean "more sales."

Homes across the metro are sitting an average of 51 days before selling. That's not a crisis, but it is a signal. Sellers who price for today's buyer are still closing. The ones holding out for last year's number are watching the calendar.

For buyers, this is actually a quieter kind of opportunity. More time, more choices, a little more room to negotiate.

Save this if you're watching the area, or send it to someone who's been on the fence.

If you’re around Cedar Park this weekend, a few things are going on.

The farmers market at Bell is Saturday morning if you want something easy to do, grab coffee, walk around, maybe pick up a few things.

There’s also the O. Henry Pun-Off happening in Austin, which sounds very random but kind of fun.

And if you’re the type of person who voluntarily wakes up early to run, the Round Rock Donut Dash is Saturday morning too. At least there are donuts involved.

Save this for later or send it to someone who never knows what to do on the weekend.

When there are over 11,000 homes listed and most sit for seven weeks before going under contract, a showing isn't something to rush through. It's actually a chance to gather real information.

I walk every home the same way. I note what I smell, what I see in the corners, what the seller chose not to fix. None of that shows up in the photos.

East Austin is a good example. You can have a 1945 bungalow next to a 2020 new build on the same block. Each one needs a different set of eyes.

Save this if you're starting your search. And if you want to know what I actually look for before we walk in the door, send me a message!

Here's my honest read on the next 90 days in this market.

Prices are softer than they were a year ago, homes are taking about 51 days to sell (that's how long before a signed contract, on average), and there are over 11,000 active listings to choose from. That's a real shift.

But softer doesn't mean broken. Sellers who price correctly for today are still closing. Buyers who've been waiting now have options and a little breathing room to think.

Mortgage rates are also down about a full point from last year, which quietly matters more than most people realize.

Save this if you're watching the market. And if you want my take on a specific neighborhood or price range, just send me a message.
