Proud to be back for year four supporting something that truly showcases what makes Austin special.

Join me April 18–19 for the Preservation Austin Homes Tour, a one-of-a-kind experience featuring 10 incredible historic homes across the city. It’s not just a tour, it’s a rare chance to step inside spaces that tell the story of Austin through architecture, design, and culture.

This annual event is Preservation Austin’s largest fundraiser, with all proceeds supporting preservation efforts and educational programs throughout the year.

If you appreciate great design, rich history, and seeing Austin from a different perspective, this is one worth carving out time for.

Tickets are available now at preservationaustin.org/events

Tucked away on a quiet street, this one feels more like a retreat than a residence. Originally designed and built by architect Tom Lemons as his personal home, then thoughtfully reimagined by Dick Clark, the result is something you don’t come across often.

Redwood siding, a gated courtyard with a fountain, and handcrafted woodwork set the tone from the start. Inside, soaring trusses, walls of glass, and a fireplace anchor a living space that opens seamlessly to an upper deck.

The kitchen is clean and refined with sleek cabinetry, marble floors, quartz counters, and high-end appliances. The primary suite offers a spacious walk-in, and every bedroom is finished with California Closets.

Out back, the setting shifts entirely. A large, sloping yard layered with mature landscaping and tree lighting creates a private, almost zen-like atmosphere.

A true one-of-one. Reach out for details or a private showing.

💡 5 Questions I’m Hearing a Lot From Austin Homebuyers & Sellers 💡

1️⃣ Why are some homes sitting on the market while others get multiple offers?
It usually comes down to pricing, presentation, and timing. Homes that are staged, strategically priced, and listed when buyers are most active tend to move fast.

2️⃣ Is the spring market picking up?
Spring is traditionally Austin’s busiest season and 2026 is no different. More buyers are actively searching but inventory is still key. What’s available now could be gone in days.

3️⃣ Should I buy now or wait?
Interest rates, local inventory, and your personal goals all play a role. Waiting can be strategic but striking when the right home appears is often the smartest move.

4️⃣ How do I know my home will sell quickly?
It’s about strategy. Pricing competitively, highlighting the home’s best features, and having a plan for showings and marketing. Small updates can make a big difference.

5️⃣ What’s really driving the Austin market right now?
Tech jobs, lifestyle migration, and limited inventory keep Austin interesting. Understanding neighborhood trends and buyer demand is critical whether you’re selling or buying.

💬 Curious about what this means for your next move in Austin? DM me. I love turning questions into strategy.

💜 As International Women’s Month comes to a close, here’s a powerful fact: women weren’t legally allowed to get a mortgage on their own until 1974.

Before the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, women could be denied a home loan simply for not having a male co-signer. Today, times have changed: 25% of first-time homebuyers are single women, and over 20 million single women own their own homes. 🏡💪

DM me to connect you to my favorite and smartest lender, who just so happens to be a woman!

Momentum is picking up in Austin just in time for spring.

New data from Unlock MLS shows pending sales jumped 13.9% year over year in February, while the close-to-list price ratio climbed to 92%. Buyers and sellers are starting to meet in the middle again, which is exactly what a healthy market looks like.

Inventory has also dipped slightly compared to last year, but here’s the key shift: buyers are returning faster than sellers. That’s creating more balanced conditions and bringing real movement back into the market across the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos MSA.

After a year of watching and waiting, many buyers are starting to act as confidence builds and the data becomes clearer.

Send me a message if you want a breakdown of what this means for your specific zip code!
