How High Inventory Changes the Way I Price a Highland Lakes Home

Pricing a Highland Lakes home has never been as simple as finding a few nearby sales, calculating an average price per square foot, and choosing a number that sounds appealing.

Living in Horseshoe Bay, TX: Resort Life on Lake LBJ

I get a version of the same question every time someone drives out to Horseshoe Bay for the first time: is this actually a real town, or is it just a resort with a zip code? It’s a fair question, because the golf and the yacht club are what get people out here in the […]

Price Reduced

I check price reductions in Horseshoe Bay the way some people check the weather, it’s part of the daily routine, and it tells you something real about where the market is right now. A price drop here doesn’t mean the same thing every time. It can mean a seller overpriced a golf course home based […]

Don’t buy a lake house until you know this…

There’s something magnetic about lake life. The peaceful lapping of waves, the open water views, the promise of weekend boat rides or quiet early morning coffee on the dock. But don’t buy a lake house until you know this… Buying waterfront properties, especially on Lake Marble Falls or Lake LBJ, is about more than just […]
