Austin Real Estate News

Attention Golfers and Greenbelt Lovers! At AustinHomeListings.com we’ve just implemented two new ways to search for Austin Homes for Sale we think you’ll love!

If you are looking for a home that backs to a golf course or greenbelt, we’ve simplified your search. At the bottom of all of our search tool pages, you will see two new options under Amenities: “Backs to Golf Course” and ”Backs to Greenbelt”.

The first image below shows you how the options look from our Map Search pages. Simply click the “+show more” option under Property Features to view the Amenities options. Click any of the options to narrow your home search.

This next image shows you how the options look from all other search pages on our site. Simply click the amenities you are interested in before you select “Search” or “Save this Search”.

At AustinHomeListings.com we are always looking for new ways to simplify your Austin Home Search. And our Great Austin Property REALTORS want to make your Austin real estate sale or purchase a great experience – call us to today at 512.600.1800!

Further confirmation that Austin is a great place to live during these uncertain economic times is the recent release of the 2009 Best Big Cities for Jobs list (Forbes.com). Austin ranks #1 in the big cities list and #6 overall.

Texas fares extremely well in the rankings holding the #1 spot overall (Odessa, TX) as well as the top 5 spots for big cities!  Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Ft. Worth, and Dallas are the top 5 Best Big Cities for Jobs.

Forbes.com published this information along with NewGeography.com, though the NewGeography.com site (2009 Best Cities for Job Growth) provides a bit more detailed information about the methodology.

We are convinced Austin is a great place to call home. We hope you will call Great Austin Properties at 512.600.1800 if you agree – we would love to help you with your Austin Real Estate needs!

We just added a new neighborhood profile for Watersedge Austin. This luxury waterfront neighborhood is on the east side of Lake Austin, with homes from $1M-$3M. Across the street from Mt Bonnell, minutes from downtown, close to shopping and dining at great developments like the Domain (north) and the centrally located Triangle (North Lamar / Guadalupe / 46th), and right on the water, Watersedge Austin is a pretty incredible place to call home.

Learn more on our profile page, or give us a call at 512.600.1800. The REALTORS of Great Austin Properties would love to help you buy or sell Austin real estate!

GolfWeek just announced its 2009 lists and Bee Cave’s Spanish Oaks Golf Club made the 2009 Golfweek’s Best Modern Courses list! In fact, it’s the only Texas course to make the list, which should make the city of Bee Cave (and nearby Austin) proud. We know the course well, and are glad to see this prestigious ranking bestowed on Spanish Oaks.

Spanish Oaks is not just about golf…to learn more about this luxury community in Austin, read our Spanish Oaks Neighborhood Guide. In our guide you’ll certainly find information about Spanish Oaks golf, but we’ve also included comprehensive information about the community, resort-styled amenities, schools, location and the Spanish Oak real estate market (see Spanish Oaks Homes for Sale).

We’re experts on the community, so be sure to call Great Austin Properties at 512.600.1800 if you are considering a move to Spanish Oaks Austin.
