Austin Real Estate Scene

 In a post on http://blog.ariamcintosh.com/2008/01/mueller-from-airport-to-true-austin.html there is an interesting discussion about the Mueller development. One particular comment i liked was made by

Actually, I have found that the prices as Mueller are consistent with prices in neighboring areas. The “Manor District” also has new homes in the 400’s with lot prices currently around $200,000. The homes at Mueller are beautiful and spacious with designs my James LaRue, an award-winning architect most known for his large homes in west Austin including many showcase homes.

Homes in Mueller are selling and the big marketing effort is set to begin in April. There are budget homes planned as well with homes starting in the 210’s, town homes, and apartments.

After living and working in central Austin for my entire career, I am pleased with the planning for Mueller. Naturally, there are those who would rather see old Austin neighborhoods stay old, but with Austin’s booming economy and enormous growth, it is highly unlikely to happen.

Take Hyde Park as an example. In the 80’s not much was said about Hyde Park other than it was a run-down old neighborhood. Now it is a bustling neighborhood full of charm with new and old homes. There is still crime in this urban area, but all and all, Austinites love Hyde Park.

I for one am very pleased with the progress in urban Austin!

I’m glad to see it as while I’ve toured the area I still don’t much about it. Some I’m going to investigate it more and find out where the best deals are for buyers. I do feel this will be hot area if their is ample inventory of homes priced in the low $200K range.
