IN GOOD COMPANY THESE 11 BUSINESSES EACH EMPLOY 6,000-PLUS PEOPLE IN AUSTIN
Apple Austin ISD City of Austin
THE COOL FACTOR FROM BOOMING BUSINESSES TO FANTASTIC FESTIVALS, AUSTIN HAS EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER WANT IN A PLACE TO LIVE
Dell Federal Government
In the past three years, Austin was named Best Place to Live in the U.S., according to U.S. News & World Report; the #1 City for Young Entrepreneurs, according to NerdWallet; and the Next Big Boom Town in the U.S., according to Forbes. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. It’s not a coincidence that Austin tops most every “best of” list that comes out. The casual-cool capital of Texas is a vibrant community filled with friendly people, thriving businesses, an ever-evolving food scene, and plenty to see and do. Innovative, creative residents, who are known for
“keeping it weird,” can’t get enough of the city’s swimming holes, live music, festivals, breakfast tacos and UT football. And who can blame them? All those things add up to a fun, active lifestyle. While Austin is home to many longtime residents, it’s also known for its ever-growing newcomer population. Depending on who you ask, the number of people who move here each day ranges from 50 to 150. Whatever the exact figure may be, that’s a lot of new people migrating to Central Texas on a daily basis. But it makes sense when you consider that the city has a high quality of life, plenty of world-class green spaces, and a cutting-edge entrepreneurial and tech scene that rivals many other cities in the country.

Boating, swimming and waterskiing are a way of life in this Lake Travis town that sits about 25 miles west of downtown Austin. Home to just under 15,000 residents, Lakeway is beloved for its 100 acres of pristine parkland and trails, 500 lush acres of greenbelts and first-rate schools in Lake Travis ISD.

Head north on I-35 from Austin, and you’ll quickly run into these three towns. Fast-growing Pflugerville is known for its variety of green and outdoor spaces, which includes the 180-acre Lake Pflugerville, 15 parks, 30 miles of trails and the Typhoon Texas waterpark. Round Rock, home to the
Round Rock Express baseball team and IKEA, has a quaint Main Street and large variety of restaurants. While Georgetown, which hosts the Red Poppy Festival each April, is recognized for its adorable town square which the city refers to as the most beautiful town square in Texas. DRIPPING SPRINGS
Only about 3,100 people call this charming town home, but these days, it feels like Dripping Springs is home to just as many cool eateries and breweries, distilleries and wineries as it is residents. When locals and visitors alike aren’t sipping pretty at Jester King Brewery, Deep Eddy Vodka or Bell Springs Winery, you’ll likely find them enjoying a
swim in the breathtakingly pristine Hamilton Pool. LEANDER/ CEDAR PARK
Just about 30 minutes northwest of downtown, you’ll find the suburbs of Cedar Park and Leander. Popular with families, especially those who work at big North Austin tech companies like Apple, IBM and National Instruments, these towns have the best of both worlds: affordable, spacious homes and access to stellar schools, restaurants and shopping. Leander is known for its great parks, including Robin Bledsoe Park and Williamson County Regional Park, while Cedar Park always has something fun going on, including concerts and sporting events at H-E-B Center Cedar Park.

Ask an Expert
PT50 REALTORS REVEAL SOME OF THE MOST COMMON QUESTIONS THEIR CLIENTS ASK THEM—AND THEIR ANSWERS
SHOULD WE STAGE OUR HOUSE? “I’m a firm believer in staging your home. Staging is marketing. The goal is to maximize the home’s ‘sale-ability’ by showcasing its best features. It’s important the condition of your home reflects your asking price. Staging is making sure that your buyer recognizes the livability of your home and falls in love with all its possibilities.” —DORIE DILLARD, COLDWELL BANKER UNITED
HAS THE AUSTIN REAL ESTATE MARKET PEAKED OR IS IT IN A “BUBBLE”?
“My response is simple: ‘No.’ Real estate markets have cycles and most of those cycles are very predictable. A housing bubble is a run-up in housing prices fueled by demand, speculation and
10
P L AT I N U M T O P 5 0
|
general exuberance creating an economic climate with sharply rising prices followed by stagnation before prices drop rapidly. This pattern is not the case in the Central Texas real estate market. Earlier this year, Dr. Ted Jones, chief economist for Stewart Title, presented his 2018 Economic Forecast. He outlined the cycles of the Austin/Round Rock MSA, and the trend is remarkably similar. The only major difference that these trend lines show is that the median home price and numbers of transactions rise year over year. Dr. Jones reiterated that the percentage increase (about 8 percent on average) is manageable. With the jobs that are growing exponentially in Texas, specifically Central
AUSTIN
Texas, an 8 percent rise is nominal. Not only are there jobs coming to our area, but those jobs are, on average, high salary positions and that is a good thing for the economy and the housing market.” —GILBERT GONZALEZ, HOME CONNECT 512
WHAT ARE THE TOP RENOVATIONS I CAN DO TO MAKE MY HOME SELL AND IMPROVE THE VALUE?
“Since buyers start formulating opinions while standing at the curb, I always instruct sellers to put extra effort into their front landscaping. We’re seeing minimized grass spaces, drought-tolerant plants and large paver stone trends all over Austin. A fresh, clean front door (and working doorbell) goes a long way in adding value. On the interior, wood flooring makes a huge impact. It’s almost mandatory in your living and dining spaces to command top dollar in today’s market. If you have a bigger renovation budget, there is no substitute for refreshing the kitchen. White or gray cabinets, quartz countertops, glass backsplashes
and industrial or farmhouse-style lights hit the mark for today’s buyer. The master bathroom is the next place to invest. Large showers with frameless doors and spa-like shower heads are big hits. Use remaining funds to make the backyard sparkle. A covered back porch adds value because buyers can see themselves relaxing there on a warm Texas afternoon.” — COURTNEY OLDHAM, THE OLDHAM GROUP, KELLER WILLIAMS REALTY
DO LETTERS TO THE HOMEOWNER REALLY WORK?
“Typically, sellers are emotional about their home. If they know that someone will be living at the house that will appreciate it like they did, it can be the difference between winning or losing a multiple-offer situation. There are sellers who will read the letter but are only driven by the numbers, so this won’t work every time, but it’s still worth the effort.” —TIM LANDY, TWELVE RIVERS REALTY
DO CASH OFFERS TRUMP ALL?
“The answer is usually yes, but cash may not trump financing in
every situation. It depends on terms, proof of funds, offer price, etc.” —CHRIS TINNELL, REALTY AUSTIN
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO LIST YOUR HOUSE AND WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO BUY?
“There is truly no ‘bad time’ of the year to jump into the Austin real estate market. There are, however, hot seasons. Mid-January through late-May typically see busier buyer traffic. I often tell my sellers to aim for this season to maximize price. Late-July through September is a slower season for Austin, so it can be a great window for buyers to take advantage of both the decreased traffic as well as lowered prices.” —JILL LEBERKNIGHT, EXP REALTY
WHAT ARE THE INTEREST RATES GOING TO DO?
“From speaking with lenders and watching the market closely, it is my belief that interest rates will slowly go up. They have been at historic lows for several years, and they will likely not stay that way forever.” —APRIL WOMACK, MORELAND PROPERTIES
