Halloween Treats in Austin 2015

Zombies, Stormtroopers and Minions unite! Halloween in Austin is always a big day for kiddos and the young at heart. This year it is going to be huge. Not only is Halloween on a Saturday, but Comic Con in Austin will also be taking place as well. Drivers need to be extra careful of bands of pedestrians like a zombie horde in The Walking Dead.
Trick-or-Treating in Austin
If you watch The Walking Dead, a band of survivors are currently living in the Alexandria Safe Zone, which is an ideal representation of a community for trick-or-treating. The homes are situated on a low-traffic street and set within close proximity to one another, not unlike Austin neighborhoods such as Circle C, Legend Oaks, Cherry Creek, Barton Hills, Crestview, Tarrytown and Plum Creek in Kyle. Halloween is all about time management. Kids look for the most houses they can visit in the least amount of time.
Austin Events
In addition to candy collecting, night owls will be enjoying an evening parade in East Austin and the annual Zombie Ball downtown.
If you are: a pedestrian — stay safe, a driver — stay alert or home living in a zombie prone community — have candy.

Beyond Austin’s City Limits
I held an open house in Elliott Ranch last week, which is located in the City of Buda. About 25 people toured the home which was a pretty strong showing for a 2-hour open house right in the middle of Sunday football.
Buda borders Austin on its southern end, so some visitors were not even aware they had left the city limits. The mindset of many people who live in Central Texas is that Buda is a suburb in South Austin.
Austin Real Estate and Beyond
From a market perspective, Buda is considered part of the greater Austin area and has been experiencing the same growth challenges and low inventory of homes for sale. Buda is an area I reference, along with Kyle, Dripping Springs, Manor and Cedar Park when I talk about how Austin is growing up and growing out. Buda offers buyers a little more for their money when compared to Austin. The dollar goes further in Buda, offering a larger home, maybe a newer home and/or larger lot size for buyers when compared to the City of Austin.
