Austin Texas Real Estate Blog

I have loved the Stone Canyon neighborhood for years, having assisted many buyers and sellers in the area.  We have some very good friends in this subdivision, and I always enjoy getting a chance to visit the area parks and trails with our kids.  One of the agents who works for our company has lived there for eight years, and she knows the area inside and out. 

Located just off of Highway 620 next to the Round Rock Medical Center, it offers strong amenities, natural beauty, and high-quality homes.

Currently, there are 27 homes available on the MLS in Stone Canyon, with an average asking price of $237,758.  The average square footage for these homes is 2,668, for an average price per square foot of $89.78. 

There are 7 homes under contract right now in Stone Canyon, with an average price of $224,614.  The average square footage on these homes is 2,119, yielding an average square footage price of $106.00.  Although this represents a big increase in the square footage amount from the previous six months, the home size that is selling readily is quite a bit smaller than before.

Over the summer months, there were 20 sales closed within Stone Canyon.  The average listing price was $242,789 and the average sales price was $237,278.  This means that homes sold for  97.8% of the list price.  This number is exactly the same as it was for the first six months of 2008.  The average number of days on the market was 63 days, which is less than the average for the Austin market right now.  The square footage of the homes sold averaged 2,647, and the price per square foot for the sales was $89.65.

As the largest master-planned community in Pflugerville, Falcon Pointe offers homes priced from the $170,000s to $300,000s by leading builders, along with a popular Residents Club, parks and greenbelt trails. Falcon Pointe is home to three on-site schools, all part of the highly acclaimed Pflugerville Independent School District.

I have lived in the adjacent Blackhawk area for almost six years, so I try to stay on top of trends in the area.

As a six-year resident of the Blackhawk area and a 13-year resident of Pflugerville, I like to keep an eye on the market values here in the area.  When the toll roads opened about a year and a half ago, the prices started trending upward and they certainly have continued to appreciate, even in a slower market.  As a fellow homeowner, this stuff is important to me, too! 

Currently, there are 17 resale homes available on the MLS in the Fairways, with an average asking price of $246,292.  The average square footage for these homes is 2,638, for an average price per square foot of $94.25.  The number of homes is quite a few more than normal right now - last quarter there were just 6 on the market when I ran these numbers.

Presently, there are 2 homes under contract in the subdivision, with an average listing price of $253,741, and an average square footage of 2,947, yielding an average price per square foot of $85.48. 

Over the past quarter (April through June 2008), there were only 3 sales closed within the Fairways of Blackhawk.  The average listing price was $289,118 and the average sales price was $280,000.  This means that homes sold for approximately 96.8% of the list price.  The average number of days on the market was just 27, which is about 40 days less than the average for the Austin MLS.  The square footage of the homes sold averaged 3,247, and the price per square foot for the sales was $87.00.
