Lakefront living doesn’t have to be a fantasy; see how this lakeside retreat makes it a reality. 🌊 Just Listed for $725K: 2609 Oak Ridge Dr, Spicewood, TX 78669 blends global craftsmanship and Hill Country character on a peaceful 0.90-acre waterfront lot with direct access to Lake Travis. Remodeled throughout, this 2-bed, 1-bath home (1,175 sq ft) is filled with details like antique wood doors, cathedral windows, and a dramatic arched gas fireplace that set the stage for relaxed, luxurious living. The air-conditioned glass sunroom with a wood-burning fireplace is the kind of space you’ll use year-round, for morning coffee, evening unwinding, or hosting friends as deer stroll past and the water glimmers outside.

Every major system, from the kitchen and bathroom to the roof, HVAC, and a top-tier water storage setup, has been upgraded for peace of mind. A freestanding storage unit adds flexibility for outdoor gear or hobbies, which can be conveyed or removed per your preference.

Looking for a full-time lakeside home, weekend getaway, or vacation property with room to breathe and play? This stunning, unique lakefront home makes it possible to live in the heart of Lake Travis.

💾 Save this post if you’ve ever imagined life on the water, or send it to someone dreaming of lake views every morning.

🏡 **Austin real estate is giving us a little bit of everything right now.** More closed sales, fewer homes are being listed right now, which could be due to the selling season slowing down, and prices are slightly lower. So what does that actually mean if you’re buying or selling?

Here are a few numbers from the **July 2026 Austin market** that caught my attention:

🏠 **Median price: $577,000 — down 1.4%**
🔑 **Closed sales: up 11%**
📉 **Active listings: down 18.2%**
⏰ **Average days on market: 49 days**
📊 **4.5 months of inventory**
💰 **Homes sold for an average of 93.9% of list price**

**👀 BUYERS:**
You still have negotiating power. Homes are averaging below asking price, and 49 days on the market gives you more opportunity to negotiate than during the crazy multiple-offer years. But with active inventory down 18%, don't assume every good house will sit around waiting for you.

**🏡 SELLERS:**
There’s some encouraging news here! Sales are up 11%, pending sales are up 4.2%, and inventory has dropped significantly. **Buyers ARE buying.** But they're also price-conscious. With homes averaging 93.9% of list price, pricing correctly from the beginning matters more than ever.

**My takeaway?** This isn't really a “buyers win” or “sellers win” market. It's a ** strategy-wins ** market. 🎯

Buyers, negotiate where the numbers support it.
Sellers, price for today's market, not your neighbor's 2022 sale. 😉

And remember, **Austin-wide statistics are only the starting point.** Your neighborhood and price range can tell a very different story.

📲 Curious what the numbers look like for *your* neighborhood? Message me, and I’ll pull them.

🌵⛳ What if your neighborhood felt more like a Hill Country resort?

Meet Loraloma, a private gated community in Spicewood, just 25 miles from Downtown Austin, surrounded by the Texas Hill Country and more than two miles of river frontage.

And the amenities are pretty incredible:

• ⛳ Private 18-hole cliffside golf course designed by David McLay Kidd — now open
• 🐎 40+ miles of hiking, biking & equestrian trails
• 🌊 Natural swimming hole, fishing pond & riverfront recreation
• 💪 Fitness & wellness amenities
• 🍻 Tap house, dance hall & amphitheater
• 🍽️ Golf House with restaurant, bar & lounge
• 🌳 More than 400 acres of preserved natural open space

🏡 And there are several ways to buy in:
Custom homesites starting around $795K
Golf-course homesites starting around $1.25M
Turn-key Denton House residences starting around $2.35M
Shared ownership opportunities starting around $750K (per current Loraloma marketing materials shown above)

Basically, if you ever thought, “I’d like to live in Spicewood, but could someone please add golf, horseback riding, swimming holes, a tap house and a spa?” 😂 Loraloma understood the assignment.

And with the larger Thomas Ranch development bringing future retail, dining, healthcare and more nearby, this is an area I’m definitely watching.

📲 Want to tour Loraloma with me or see what’s currently available? Email me. I’d love an excuse to go! 😉[email protected]

Austin in the fall just hits different. 🍂 One minute it’s 95 degrees; the next, we’re all pretending it’s sweater weather and looking for something fun to do. 😂

Community Impact rounded up nine local events for September and early October, and there’s a little something for everyone. One that caught my eye is La**rs & Literature at Meanwhile Brewing because apparently books + b**r = being well-rounded. 📚🍺

But really, this is one of the things I love about Austin. There are always opportunities to get out, meet people, support local businesses, and feel connected to the community.

Pick an event, grab a friend, and go! And if you find something great, invite the rest of us next time.

Community Impact rounded up some fun local events for September and early October:

• 🦇 Austin Bat Fest — Sept. 5
• 📚🍺 La**rs & Literature — Sept. 6
• 🎸 LEVITATION 2026 — Sept. 10–13
• 🇲🇽 Viva México — Sept. 12
• 🔧 Fix-It Clinic — Sept. 19
• 🏛️ Austin Museum Day — Sept. 20 — FREE
• 💚 Making Connections Conference & Resource Fair — Sept. 25–26
• 🎶 Austin City Limits Music Festival — Oct. 2–4 & 9–11
• ☕ The Golden Girls Kitchen pop-up — currently open

Take a look at that friendly smile. 😁 That’s the smile of a man who just rescued a Realtor from her own driving skills. 😂

After 16 years of driving SUVs, I recently switched to a car and apparently forgot that cars sit a little closer to the ground. One curb later, I managed to pop the lower piece of my car loose. 🤦‍♀️🚗

Thankfully, Mel at Madness Autoworks in Spicewood came to the rescue! He fixed it quickly, took great care of me, and provided the kind of friendly, above-and-beyond customer service that makes you want to tell everyone about it.

Madness Autoworks has officially earned a spot on my Spicewood referral list and will be my go-to for auto and body repairs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

And as for me… I’ll be working on remembering that I’m not driving an SUV anymore. Curbs of Spicewood, you’re safe for now. 😂

I asked ChatGPT: **“Describe me like you’re warning someone about me before they meet me.”** 😂

Apparently, here’s the warning:

She’s warm, funny and easy to talk to—but don’t mistake that for laid-back. Her brain is running about 14 tabs at once, and somehow she knows what’s happening in all of them.

She asks A LOT of questions—not because she’s confused, but because she wants to understand the whole picture. She’ll keep digging until she gets **the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.** 😂

And when she cares about someone, that same determination kicks in. Give her a problem, and she’ll research it, make some calls, look at the statistics, and keep digging until she finds an answer.

She notices details other people miss. The wording in a contract, something strange about a house, the furniture placement, or whether the rug is six inches too small… she’s probably going to see it. 😂

Outside of real estate, she’s a country-dancing, cowboy-boot-loving Texas girl who has somehow decided that closing real estate deals is a perfectly reasonable excuse to keep adding boots to her collection. 👢😂

She’s also a fiercely proud twin mama plus one, and those three kids will never have to wonder whether their mom loves them. Personal space is questionable. Multiple hugs and kisses a day are mandatory. ❤️

And if she’s in your corner? You’ve got someone who will **fight for you**, figure things out, and probably rearrange your living room while she’s there. 😂

NOW, try asking to describe you!
