Austin Real Estate Spotlights

Posted on December 5, 2012 by Doreen Zelma, REALTOR

I have selected random subdivisions in Austin Texas real estate market areas and listed current data on active listings. The data is subdivision specific, so there may be additional homes available for purchase in the neighborhood. Average Days on Market below 90 days are considered Seller’s markets, because homes are moving quickly. Austin neighborhoods with homes on the market between 3 and 6 months are considered neutral.

A picture is worth 1,000 words

Posted on April 2, 2012 by Doreen Zelma, REALTOR

The old adage “a picture is worth a thousand words” is no truer than referring to marketing properties for sale in Austin. If an agent gives no written description about a property, but offers great pictures – buyers will come in droves. On the flip-side, if an amazing story about a house is advertised, but with no pictures, people will question the validity of the story. The more pictures that can be shown to market a property – the better. I’m sure you have seen listings that only show the front of the house. The instant question that comes to mind is: what’s wrong with the inside? The only time that it is customary to only show the outside of a house is when you have a tenant living in it.

Austin Real Estate Listings

I typically hire a professional photographer to take pictures of my Austin Real Estate listings. There are times that I utilize photos in magazines and brochures, in addition to on-line marketing. The benefit to using a photographer is that the pictures are taken at such a high resolution that they translate well for any medium I choose. Great pictures are also crisp, making rooms look very clean. How many pictures have you seen that show the corner of room? Professionals use a wide angle lens which helps capture rooms better.
