Lake Travis Real Estate: On Pace For Another Record Year?

Written by Todd Hower | August 12, 2014

With the summer buying season coming to a close and the start of the school year less than two weeks away, it’s a good time to look back at the first half of the year and look ahead at what might happen during the final quarter of 2014.

The Lake Travis real estate market started off in 2014 where it left off in 2013 — with a low inventory of single family homes for sale. The demand started as early as February and it didn’t take long to see multiple offers start rolling in and competition between home buyers heat up.

Looking back now you can see that it wasn’t uncommon for the average days on market to be 10 days or less and the sale-to-list price ratio at 99% or above — meaning that most homes were selling at or above list price.

With only a couple of weeks left before the start of school, it’s time to cram in all the fun stuff you said you were going to do before summer is over. Luckily, this weekend is jam packed with unique events to add some spark to the few weekends left this summer.

Of note is the Texas Tax Free Weekend happening all weekend long. Another event I highly recommend is the Balloons over Lake Travis — it’s not easy rolling out of bed on a Saturday morning before the sun comes up, but this event is worth it!

Here’s all the goods for this weekend. Pick one or choose a bunch — just have a great weekend in the Lake Travis area.

Lake Travis Area History: Lago Vista

Written by Todd Hower | August 6, 2014

In and around the Lake Travis area, one has their fair share of opportunities to take advantage of lake life. From exhilarating water sports to relaxing on the shores of Lake Travis, there’s a little taste of something for everyone.

And when city life gets to be too tiring, you might find yourself looking to the surrounding lake towns for a little getaway when needed. Whether you’re on the search for a place to call home or just a relaxing day trip, one of the spots on Lake Travis worth checking out is Lago Vista. Along the North Shore of Lake Travis sits this quaint lake town, best known for the laid-back lake vibes and leisure on the water.

A scenic drive down 1431 gives you an idea as to why Lago Vista is also known as “The Gateway to the Highland Lakes.” With a total area of just under 10 square miles, most of life — economic and social — centers around these man-made lakes. And Lago Vista has a little slice of Lake Travis to call its own.

Lake Travis area events are all over the place this weekend. It’s looking like we’ll have some temps in the 90s and a chance of rain, so make a mix of indoor and outdoor plans or find a place to stash an umbrella just in case.

In that spirit, here’s a nice little mix of sun and shade for your weekend:
