Wishing y'all a healthy, safe, and blessed May.  Kimberly and I hiked in Lake Inks State Park last May and the wildflowers were wonderful.  I hope we all get the chance to get out and enjoy nature more soon!
Have a blessed month,
John

A good friend noticed how the world has gone still and reminded Kimberly and I of Psalm 46:10, "Be still, and know that I am God."  People are out walking, smiling and saying hello like never before (from a distance).  The few ways we can fight this virus and look out for each other - people are doing!  We've all come together by staying 6 feet apart.

I hope your April is healthy.
I hope you get outside a lot (near home - take walks).  And say hello.
I hope you are able to work and maintain as much normal as possible in these un-normal times.
As for real estate:
I expect a lull in the market but not a significant change in home values.  Demand still far exceeds supply in our area.
If you need to sell a house, I can do it with online showings.
If you need to buy a house, I can still help.  We're just going to walk through fewer houses.  Showings in general will move online.  It's not quite the same experience.  Still, we can do it.
You don't get to walk through a custom-built house before it's built, after all.  The (hopefully temporary) new normal will be more like that.
If you have no pressure to move and prefer to walk through homes, then waiting makes sense.
If you'd like to talk about your situation and explore options, we have Zoom, FaceTime, good old Telephone calls - any communication option you like.  I'll adapt to your level of technology.

Happy March!
My goodness, Spring has Sprung early in the real estate market!
Multiple offers are more common than ever.  Getting your offer to be the winner can be a challenge.
I've been having some good results on both sides lately.  Though it is more fun to be on the selling side these days.
I hope your March is filled with fun!

Wishing you the best New Year!  Full of blessings and fun and adventures!

OK - we had to go to the mountains of Utah to get a snow photo for December.  Can you blame us?
Hope y'all all have a wonderful December - maybe see a little snow!  Or at least some cooler weather.
Of course, if you or someone you care about has a real estate question or need, please let me know.

Happy October!  Please feel free to download this image for your screensaver.  It was taken along Cypress Creek near Lake Travis.

You might also want to have a look at This Week's New Listing.  We have a rare 2 1/2+ acre property that will be on the market soon (although it is likely a few weeks from ready).  Natural spring, pool, 1960's retro home needing some updates, even an old settlers cabin.  What is most rare is that it is in Austin - just off Oak Knoll - in Round Rock ISD attending Westwood HS.

Hope you have a fantastic month!
