OK, I'll take the showcase home, please.  Know any good agents?  There's this one guy I've heard of...can't remember his name...:)

How about 3 properties for $333,333 and give a kick to the market activity in your area. Maybe it will spread.

Great homes, Jason.  Hopefully, you'll get some buyers.  Check out my Living in "Paradise" and add it to your list for someone who wants to be in a more country like setting.  I'll sure keep yours in mind too.  Thanks :)

Jason,

Beautifully done and it's a great idea. I especially liked the way the bottom photo is photographed (looks like dusk) with the lights.

LISA - I can suggest someone good to help with your purchase here.  I need to find his card....wait, I have several hundred of them! 

DAVID - Sure, why not?  Did you want me to email the paperwork on those purchases, or fax it?  Let me know -

RICKI - I will check that out.  Thanks!

LYNDA - Yes, I like that picture, too.  Thanks for checking it out - this in my ninth post in this series.

Jason, Again, these homes are beautiful!  I am not sure that I can make up my mind on which one I like in this price range.  I do like the one in the middle because it has a nice pool.

Jason, I love how you provided links to the homes in different price ranges.  Remember you are my mentor...I'm watching everything you do....ha.  Have a great weekend.

Jason,

I would say that, if I were able to shop in that Price range, then I would be a Happy Man :0)

Great information... Loved reading and seeing the market in your area.

Jason,  My husband is officially banded from reading your blog.  If he had seen this, he would be calling your right now to make an appointment...why?  This is what you can buy in Naples for about the same price:

ELIZABETH - Thanks for your comments - if you happen to come across a cool million, you have my number.  GBY!

CHRISTINA - Glad you liked it.  Have a great Sunday!

SHANNON - Come on - let him look around a little bit.  You guys have plenty of cash.  But seriously, your comments made me laugh.  Not even a doghouse?

On another note....

Glad you are game!

Jason, I have a bit of market envy!  No wonder people who move from Austin to DC need smelling salts after a house hunting tour here!  
Posted by Patricia Kennedy (Evers & Company Realtors) over 4 years ago
PATRICIA - I have seen the reverse occur.  People are in disbelief with regard to what they can buy here.  Thanks for commenting!

Jessica - Maybe it will make me seem cooler to them.  Sorry - I don't have enough patience to keep up the other "code".

Paul - Booyah indeed!

Posted by Jason Crouch, Broker - Austin Texas Real Estate (512-796-7653) (Austin Texas Homes, LLC) over 4 years ago
Jason:

Good.  I was hoping that I wouldn't have to break out a Moby Dick or some other thick novel to write backwards about. 

Paul:

Noli habere bovis, vir   - Don't even make me go Greek or Hebrew on ya!

Posted by Jessica Horton Realty | Jessica Horton Realtor (Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners) over 4 years ago

Jason,

Wow, you get a lot more in Austin than in our California markets.  Beautiful post.

Posted by Fran Gatti - Realtor®, CDPE®, RDCPro®, Crescent City CA Real Estate (RE/MAX Coastal Redwoods) over 4 years ago

Gorgeous homes-  It's a great post inspiring others to move to Austin.  You get a lot for your dollars!

JESSICA - I like the Latin phrase for Paul - funny stuff.

FRAN - Thanks very much for the compliment!  We have had a LOT of California transplants over the past decade.

JUDY - Thanks for checking this one out.  I appreciate your compliment!  Have a great week!

Jason- I really like this idea for a post. Can I use this idea for a Localism Post?

Posted by Ryan Martin - Bellingham Commercial RE Broker (Windermere Real Estate / Whatcom Inc.) over 4 years ago
RYAN - Go for it!  I am glad you like the idea. 
Posted by Jason Crouch, Broker - Austin Texas Real Estate (512-796-7653) (Austin Texas Homes, LLC) over 4 years ago

Not even a dog house my friend! :)  I would let him look but after talking with you awhile back, didn't you say there were something like 18 trillion Realtors in your area....YUCK!  I'm not ready to retire just yet! :)

Posted by Shannon Lefevre, PA (John R. Wood REALTORS Inc.) over 4 years ago
Jason, I enjoy seeing the increasingly amazing homes you can purchase in Austin as you move up the price scale.  These homes look great.  Move them to the D.C. area and you could double or triple the price tag for sure.
Posted by Brian Block -- Northern Virginia & D.C. Real Estate (RE/MAX Allegiance, Managing Broker/Branch Vice President) over 4 years ago

SHANNON - There were 11,000 licensed agents the last time I looked, but I am guessing that there are going to substantially fewer in the upcoming year.  Jerry needs to see these homes!

BRIAN - Thanks for your comments.  I know that Austin offers some terrific value, and I hope that we can see some great effects from this in 2008.  I hope you had a great Thanksgiving trip - good to have you back in the Rain!
