Lake Travis, Montandon Ranch

Lake Travis has risen even more since our update yesterday; it is now at 645 feet and still rising. You can see up-to-the-minute conditions here.

With Lake Travis up and the creeks flowing again, now is the perfect time to buy. Ranch sales are still down and sellers are extremely motivated to move their property. With the recent rains and forecasts for more rain throughout the coming months, once spring time rolls around and the market really gets going sellers might not be as motivated to sell. There are still great rates and good terms for land deals. Capital Farm Credit is offering 30 year term and 5 year fixed rates at 6.25% with 20% down. Give us a call and we can get you in touch with a loan officer there.

Lake Travis

As a result of the heavy rains last week in the Austin area, the Lake Travis levels have risen six feet. Currently, the lake’s level is just over 642 feet, with more rain already coming today.

It is still, however, 24 feet lower than average, and 39 feet lower than completely full. “El Nino should bring us more rain between now and the spring,” says LCRA Supervisor David Walker, “we’d need ten more floods like this one to do the trick.” The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s 2009 Winter Outlook and Climate Predictions expect El Nino to dominate weather patterns, bringing a cooler winter and above average precipitation for Texas, by an increase of 40%.

Eagles Glen

The master planned community of Steiner Ranch is exceeding expectations, according to developers and agents, because of its great amenities and the strong reputation of local schools, Texas A&M’s Real Estate Center and the Austin Business Journal report.

In 2009, even with the economic downturn, 143 homes were sold in Steiner Ranch at the end of August. Compared to 164 homes by that time in 2008, just a 13% drop. Compared to the 35% drop the Central Texas area saw, particularly early in 2009, the Steiner Ranch development is going faster than planned. The median sale price for a home in Steiner reached $350,000 this year, also a significantly stronger performance than the rest of the area.

Currently in development for Steiner Ranch is Longhorn Village, a retirement community with assisted living services aiming to give University of Texas alumni a chance to reconnect with the University life.

Steiner Ranch, located northwest of the city on RR 620, is near both Lake Travis and Austin. To read more about our featured property on Eagles Glen and some more amenities Steiner has to offer, see here.

Away from the busyness of downtown Austin is Lake Travis. While still being a short drive to the things you love about Austin, Lake Travis has a whole set of recreational activities, dining, and getaways of its own.

Lake Travis was created with the building of Mansfield Dam from 1937-1941, named after the Texas Congressman of 32 years. The dam was built and is maintained with money it makes from its sales of water and electricity. Currently, Lake Travis is Central Texas’ favorite spot for water recreation including boating, fishing, and even scuba diving, as well as hosting state parks, golf courses and many residential communities.

A great resource for exploring Lake Travis is available at www.laketravis.com. Here you can find any accommodations you need and get links to any dining or recreation.
