Invest with an Expert; It Matters!
You wouldn’t hire a foot doctor to perform surgery on your heart nor would you allow a veterinary to treat your child for illness. Why? Because EXPERTISE matters. Investing in waterfront homes on Lake LBJ is no different. Working with a local expert that understands the local market is super important when buying Lake LBJ Real Estate. You need someone that understands value in different properties, what happens in bad economies and good ones, and someone that actually lives on the Lake.
Do you think your waterfront real estate agent should know the lake better than you? Should they own a boat? Hopefully they have at least been out on a boat on Lake LBJ, but do you even know? I understand people like to work with friends but if your friend is not willing to refer you to someone that knows the market better then themselves are they really treating you like a friend?
Hiring a waterfront expert on Lake LBJ is critical and when you are investing hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, you need to work with someone that has experience and knows how to guide you. Its important that you are represented by someone that will be honest and tell you what NOT to buy and that puts your interest over their own commission.
My family has owned a waterfront home on Lake LBJ and I have spent the majority of my life out on the lake. I know Lake LBJ like the back of my hand. I don’t just sell waterfront homes on Lake LBJ but I actually own one. I sell enough real estate that I don’t need you to buy something for my family to eat. I shoot my clients straight and give them brutally honest advice to help them make the best decision and sometimes that means NOT TO BUY.
Why would you allow a broker from Austin or San Antonio to represent you when buying a waterfront home on Lake LBJ? Lake LBJ is a very unique market and access to the MLS does not translate to experience. If you want to buy right on Lake LBJ, hire someone that lives on the water, understands the market and lifestyle and will shoot you straight. I want to share my passion for selling Lake LBJ Real Estate with you and help you make a sound investment in waterfront real estate. Call me today at (512) 786-1515

Forever Property Under Contract, Representing Buyer!
You know those really amazing waterfront properties you see in pictures? The ones with big trees and lush green grass? Those properties should be everyone’s goal when searching for Lake LBJ real estate. But what many people don’t realize is that those properties most likely did not look like that when the current owners purchased them. Those waterfront homes on Lake LBJ look like that today because there has been years and years of care and love that has gone in to shaping those properties into what they are today.
Today I am pleased to report that my lucky buyers got one of these “forever properties” under contract. However, this property may not look so great at first glance. In fact, it has been on the market for 172 days, originally listed at 775K and then slowly dropped to $625k. The actual sales price will not be posted in MLS until after the deal closes but lets just say my clients are getting an awesome deal here.
While this property does need a significant amount of work, the property has two of the biggest oak trees you will find on Lake LBJ along with cypress, pecan and numerous other trees scattered throughout the property. This property is a true gem, and while it may not look like it now, with some love and TLC you will soon see what I am talking about.
If you have ever considered looking at waterfront homes on Lake LBJ, or need assistance with your Lake LBJ Real Estate Search, let me guide you every step of the way to finding your Forever Property. Hire the Lake LBJ waterfront expert by calling (512) 786-1515
Does this property need a new septic?
When buying or selling Lake LBJ Real Estate, the LCRA requires that all septic systems be inspected at the time of sale and a new continued use permit be issued to the new buyer before they legally operate the system. This can be a very costly repair and something that needs to be factored in to value/sales price. No matter which side you are on, working with an experienced real estate broker will most likely save you thousands and help you avoid unexpected expenses.
The LCRA rates each septic system by the number of bedrooms and total square footage of the house. Often times homes are added on too without the septic being adequately expanded. This means that the LCRA will most likely require a new system or the old system to be retrofitted to meet the new sizing requirements. It is also common on properties with a lot of trees for the roots of the trees to get inside the septic lines and tanks and impact their ability to function properly. Sometimes the system can be doctored to pass inspection but in most cases a new system would be a better bet. A seller is typically going to do whatever to simply get a “pass” where as a buyer may have a higher standard when it comes to their property. Understanding the age, capacity and condition of the system is very important.
For a septic inspection on Lake LBJ Real Estate, the tanks typically have to be uncovered, pumped and with older systems a water load test done to see if the current system is functioning as intended. Working with a reputable septic company can be critical in this process.
When you hire the Carvajal Group to represent you to buyer or sell waterfront property on Lake LBJ, you get a experienced and knowledgeable broker that knows how to navigate through the LCRA’s process of inspections but also how to point buyers and sellers in the right direction when it comes to septic systems to accomplish their goals.

Coming Soon: Cabin on Excellent Water in Sunrise Beach
If you are paying attention to the news, stock market or oil industry you are likely aware of this weeks rebound in oil prices. Many analysts believe oil prices have hit bottom and that prices are starting to recover. For Lake LBJ Real Estate, this could mean more luxury transactions above $1million.
The last few months have really slowed down as oil prices hit all time lows and have remained at that level for longer than people expected. Many high net worth buyers have sat on the fence and luxury sales have been slow to say the least. Will the rise in oil prices and overall sentiment that prices will only go up from here be enough to get those buyers back into the market place? Time will tell but for now it is my opinion that there are many deals to be had and if oil rebounds quickly that opportunity wont stick around for very long.
If you have ever considered purchasing Lake LBJ real estate or are interested in waterfront homes on Lake LBJ, call me at (512) 786-1515. I am the Lake LBJ market expert and will help you take advantage of the current economic conditions and make a smart investment in the Texas Hill Country!

Lots of bad inventory huh?
There seems to be a lot of bad inventory on Lake LBJ these days huh? What I mean by that is either bad water or overpriced properties. Most of the inventory you are seeing right now has been overpriced and just sits in the MLS collecting days on days on market. The good real estate on Lake LBJ is held on to by families that appreciate, understand and value the real estate as an investment and the few great properties that do come up for sale, and get priced correctly, get snatched up very quickly; often times never hitting MLS. The rest of the stuff is either way overpriced or an overall bad investment because of the waterfront quality.
Currently the price of oil is way down and this has definitely impacted real estate values in the short term on Lake LBJ. Property owners that are in the oil industry or even service areas in which revolve around the oil industry often times divest excess real estate during these tough times to assist their cash flow. The recent turbulence in the stock market has also created some unrest for property owners in other industries as well. We are already seeing some new properties hit the market but its a shame to see them getting over listed. Right now I believe there is great opportunity to buy Lake LBJ Real Estate and the only way to buy right is to start making offers.
As oil prices bottom out and begin their upward trajectory (as they always do), the money in Texas will again flow freely and the value of Lake LBJ real estate will soar. In fact, based on simple math, the demand for Lake LBJ real estate just exploded through the recent population boom in Texas while the supply of real estate stayed exactly the same. In a few years, Lake LBJ Real Estate will be unattainable in my opinion.
