As an eight-year resident of the Blackhawk area and a 16-year resident of Pflugerville, I like to keep an eye on the market values here in our neighborhood.  When the toll roads first opened in the fall of 2006, the prices started trending upward, then they flattened out somewhat, with some tough economic factors at play.  Since the fall of 2010, the market has been very active again in this area.  As a fellow homeowner in Blackhawk, this stuff is important to me, too! 

Currently, there are 5 resale homes available on the MLS in the Fairways, with an average asking price of $235,760.  The average square footage for these homes is 2,700, for an average price per square foot of $88.55. 

Presently, there are 4 homes under contract in the subdivision, with an average listing price of $212,075 and an average square footage of 2,706, yielding an average price per square foot of $78.85. 

In 2010, there were 23 sales closed within the Fairways of Blackhawk.  The average listing price was $225,468, and the average sales price was $216,678, which means homes sold for 96.1% of the asking price.  The average square footage was 2734 s.f. for these.

 

OTHER AREA NEWS:

Located at the southwest corner of the intersection of the aforementioned toll roads (45 and 130) and about a half mile from Blackhawk, Stone Hill Town Center will eventually have over 1,000,000 square feet of shopping and entertainment.  Home Depot, Best Buy, SuperTarget, Verizon Wireless, Mattress Firm, Chick Fil-A, Bealls, Rack Room Shoes, Dick's Sporting Goods and several others are open now.  In May 2011, a new Cinemark theater and a 24-Hour Fitness are slated to open as well.

My cousin has his home listed with me, and we are hoping to get it sold soon, as they are looking to purchase a larger home for their growing family.  We have reduced it by $15,000 now in an effort to stimulate enough interest to get it sold in the next couple of weeks.  We had a very interested buyer who spent 40-45 minutes looking at it yesterday, but we have no offers as of yet.

Features:

• 3 bedrooms, 2 baths
• 1673 s.f. - built by Scott Felder in 1997
• 2 Dining areas (formal dining and breakfast)
• Designer colors
• Terrific neighborhood amenities - pools, playground, basketball, clubhouse, fitness center
• Fireplace with built-in bookcase to the side
• Extended patio and wood deck in the back
• Large corner lot
• Very convenient to toll roads (45 and 130)

I created a virtual tour using photos at Real Estate Shows for the home just now:

 

If you have any interest in taking a look, let me know.  The price is relatively firm, because they really need to get this amount in order to afford their new home.

Feel free to call or email me anytime - I live a few blocks away and I would love to show it to you.  Thanks!
