Best of Lake LBJ – 3210 Packsaddle
One of my favorite deals of 2019 was selling 3210 Packsaddle in Blue Lake Estates. This open water Peninsula on the Sandy Arm offers over 300 feet of gorgeous Lake LBJ frontage. The property had a small cabin, just under 1800 sq ft with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths that had been recently renovated. This incredible package deal offered great value due it’s move-in ready ability but also a prime lot that could easily be demoed to make room for a larger home. Blue Lake is arguably the best neighborhood on Lake LBJ so opportunities like this don’t present themselves often. In fact, this one had been owned by the same owner for 27 years. Without a doubt this choice spot has a spot on the Best of Lake LBJ list.
When you are looking for the perfect property on Lake LBJ make sure you are seeing all the inventory. These prime opportunities often don’t ever hit the market. Give me a call today at (512) 786-1515 to discuss your dream home on Lake LBJ.
We Don’t Fake It – REAL Photography
Many real estate agents hire real estate photpgraphers to take photos of their properties and due to scheduling conflicts and time constraints some will shoot the photos in the middle of the day or whatever hour they have available and then add in a “twilight effect” with photoshop to add drama. When purchasing Lake LBJ Real estate it is important to understand where the sun rises and sets and how it effects the property. For this reason we feel its important to get up early or stay out late in order to both experience and shoot these prime moments at a property so we become more familiar. When we take a listing we want to experience and feel the property to really understand its value enabling us to better sell it. This also helps us value other properties we see based on these important qualifications.
Marketing Lake LBJ Real Estate takes commitment and passion to uncover the hidden value. Whether you are buying or selling Lake LBJ Real Estate hire a trusted professional that knows the lake, understands the market and will work harder then anyone to help you accomplish your goals. Give me a call today at (512) 786-1515 and allow me the opportunity to share how I feel I can add value to your Lake LBJ Real Estate transaction. I look forward to hearing from you.

208 Archview in Clearwater Landing – $320,000
Great buidable site in Clearwater Landing in Kingsland, Texas. Finding an affordable lot on Lake LBJ can be very challenging but I have just the one and my seller is willing to take a significant loss on the property to make a deal and get it off the books. 208 Archview is actually two lots put together as one and the owner did this to ensure he had plenty of room to build a single story home on the property. This property faces east, with the hot afternoon sun at your back making the ideal scenario to create a lakeside oasis that is comfortable and enjoyable for family friends and guests. If you or someone you know is ready to invest in Lake LBJ real estate I strongly urge you to come take a look at this property. This is a incredible deal; probably the best you will find anywhere on the lake. This is a beautiful neighborhood that is developing out nicely and before long you wont have a chance to get in at an affordable price.

You Can’t Go Wrong Buying Prime
You can’t go wrong buying PRIME! Investing in real estate is about choosing choice properties that will appreciate over time because of their desirability. Prime waterfront properties provide a unique investment medium with strong upside appreciation potential.
In a second home, vacation market like Lake LBJ is, buyers are making luxury purchases not what I call “have to buys”. These buyers can and will pay more if the property is right. When you buy Prime, or “choice” waterfront the desirability and scarcity of these properties allow the upside to be limitless and dependent on the unit of the person or entity acquiring. What I mean that a great property, that checks all the boxes, faces the right direction and has clean, open waterfront has the ability to sell for almost any price in the right market. Most importantly, its very rare that the best properties on Lake LBJ ever actually go for sale. Families hold on to these strong assets and pass them down from one generation to the next contributing to the overall scarcity and rareness of the opportunity to actually acquire and own one.
If you are looking to invest in Lake LBJ real estate I strongly urge you to hire a broker that has real expertise in the local market and will guide you through “buying right on Lake LBJ”. Reach out if you would like to discuss further and remember that you can’t go wrong buying prime real estate on Lake LBJ.
Sold in Sunrise Beach
Today is our favorite day…..also known as closing day! Many sellers have an idea in their head that we only sell Lake LBJ real estate in the winter. I am here to tell you that this is simply not the case. A great broker sells homes all year around, in any economic and political environment. That being said it is important to understand that pricing is CRITICAL! When I originally took this listing I recommended a list price of $699,000 but the seller wanted to try $750,000 so we did. We had a lot of action and some great showings but no offers. After a few months we reduced the price to $690k, below my original recommendation (this happens when sellers dont listen) and the home quickly sold.
As a realtor my goal is to help my clients accomplish their real estate goals. I am not a miracle worker or a magician just a damn good broker that knows my market like the back of my hand. My vast market knowledge stems from my experience in selling lots of homes in the area and my commitment to studying current and sold inventory. I work with many buyers and sellers in the Lake LBJ real estate market and understand how important pricing is to a top dollar sell. I do not create or set the market but rather I help my clients position their home amongst available inventory so it stands out.
If you have ever considered buying or selling Lake LBJ real estate I strongly urge you to give me a call. I always shoot my customers straight and try to give them good, quality information that helps them make life decisions. I would love the opportunity to discuss your real estate goals and or needs so give me a call at (512) 786-1515 today!
