LTL Weekly & This Weekend in Lake Travis: August 16-18, 2019

Written by Todd Hower | August 15, 2019

When you’re done with dude, brah, swamps, gators, and the big apple …

According to the 2019 Texas Relocation Report, the Top 5 States moving to Texas are California, Florida, Louisiana, Illinois, and New York.

When you don’t like #5, but you’re okay with #6 …

According to the report mentioned above, Travis County is the #5 county for total new out-of-state residents moving in and the #6 county for total locals leaving Texas.

When you welcome back 11,000 new students …

Your name is Marco Alvarado, communications director for Lake Travis ISD. Good luck this week! 😉

When you bring your blanket on the bus …

It’s too cold, but the students are not complaining. It’s hard to believe that a school bus in Texas does not have to be equipped with air conditioning. Fifty new general buses with air conditioning and sixty existing buses retrofitted with air conditioning will be rolling out across the Leander school district this year.

When you’re all about the Ladies …

You donate! The Ladies of Charity – Lake Travis is hoping to expand their local reach with a new building on Medical Parkway. The organization provides financial and in-kind donations to more than 30 local charities.

When you know everything about everything in Lake Travis …

But do you really? Test your knowledge with our little back-to-school pop quiz.


together with Todd Hower Realty

We have three new featured properties for you to check out …

When you want to live in Eanes ISD.

When you want to hang out in the pool by the golf course.

When you want a fixer-upper — and a level lot next door to build a new house — in a hot central Austin neighborhood.

The $5497 & 87% … 

$5497 – the listing fee you pay at closing when you sell your home with Todd Hower Realty (most real estate agents charge you a percentage of the sales price).
87% – the percentage of homes listed with Todd Hower Realty that sell in 49 days or less.

Find out how you can get full-service seller representation & marketing for a lot less than 6% of the sales price when you sell your home.
