Considering a move in or around Round Rock and wondering about school transfer options?

Round Rock ISD’s transfer application for the 2026–27 school year is currently open for both in-district and out-of-district requests.

A few important reminders for families:

✅ The priority processing deadline of May 22, 2026 has passed.
✅ Applications may still be submitted and are considered based on district policies and campus availability.
✅ A transfer request is not a guarantee of approval.
✅ Families should verify transportation, campus availability and enrollment requirements directly with RRISD.

School options can be an important part of a family’s moving conversation, but they should always be researched directly with the district before making a housing decision. AND remember that if it's a few years before your child enters a desired campus, there is no guarantee that the current feeder pattern will remain in place.

As a Texas REALTOR®, my goal is to help buyers and sellers gather reliable information so they can make well-informed decisions about their next move.

And if a 3 bedroom home with flexible space (2 living & 2 dining areas) the master bedroom downstairs and a super LOW 1.613 tax rate is what you are looking for, check out 15632 Opal Fire in the Wells Branch area. QR Code in the first comment!

How to emotionally prepare for your next chapter:

Moving on from a long-term family home is about more than just real estate; it is a significant lifestyle transition that requires a thoughtful approach. Here are the strategies that help my clients (and me!) embrace their new beginning with confidence. 🏠

- Focus on the new memories you will create in a space designed for your current lifestyle rather than maintaining rooms you no longer use.

- Start the decluttering process early to give yourself the time and space to honor the history of your belongings without feeling rushed. PRO TIP: think about scanning or taking digital pics of things the kids/grandkids made or gave you that make you smile.

- Prioritize a single-level layout that supports your long-term health and mobility so you can age in place with comfort and independence.

- Consider how a low-maintenance home frees up your time and energy to travel or spend more days with your family & friends.

- Shift your perspective from leaving a home to gaining a community that offers the social connections and activities you enjoy now. 🌳

- Evaluate how unlocking your home equity can provide the financial flexibility to fund your retirement goals and new adventures.

- Look for a location that keeps you close to trusted medical providers and family members to ensure peace of mind for the future.

Transitioning to a smaller home is a proactive step toward a more manageable and fulfilling daily life. Taking these steps early ensures you make decisions based on your vision for the future rather than necessity.

What is the one thing you are most looking forward to in a smaller, easier-to-manage home? Let me know in the comments below. 👇

Exciting update for all of us in Williamson County: January 2026 real estate metrics are out, and our area is shining bright! 🎉

With an impressive 16.1% spike in closings and a 13.1% surge in pending sales, Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Leander are leading Central Texas' housing market. Our median price remains stable at $403,500, while new listings and active inventory continue to grow.

Why does this matter? For many locals and newcomers, Williamson County is the perfect blend of community spirit and opportunity. With thriving companies like Dell and Amazon expanding their reach and infrastructure developments like the North Austin Tech Corridor, we're cementing our spot as a top choice for families and young professionals.

From good schools to accessible job markets, it's no wonder our neighborhoods are buzzing. This isn't just about numbers; it's about our community's strong momentum and why we love calling this place home.
