Someone asked me last week whether Manor is one neighborhood. Not really. ShadowGlen runs its own golf course, water park, and trail loop, streets near City Hall look nothing like it. Shivraj, Grewal RE Group. Which pulls you in, the amenities or the older block? #Manor #AustinRealEstate

Bell Farms Park sits at Ring and Chime Drive. Its pond is a half mile off. Manor closed fewer homes this year, 173 against 209, but days on market fell and sellers still closed near asking. Fewer deals, not a slower market. What drove that? Shivraj, Grewal RE Group #Manor #AustinRealEstate

Five and a half miles of trail connect Manor to Austin, paved the whole way, Daffan Lane to Ben E. Fisher Park. Homes here sell in about 75 days now, close to flat from a year ago. Ride the whole trail, or just your end? Shivraj, Grewal RE Group #Manor #AustinRealEstate

Paloma Lake kept its pace and lost its discounts. Round Rock's north side still sits at about 58 days on market, same as last year, but nearly eight points fewer sellers cut their price. Which would you rather buy in? Shivraj, Grewal RE Group #RoundRock #AustinRealEstate

Buyers ask me about Ross Road before they ever drive it. Four Del Valle ISD campuses sit on that one road, high school, elementary, middle and the district office. It runs on bell times, not clock hours. Which hour would you drive it? Shivraj, Grewal RE Group #DelValle #AustinRealEstate

Bedrooms and square footage matter, but they are only part of the decision. The right Austin home also needs to make sense for your lifestyle, priorities, location preferences, and long-term plans.

Richard Moya Park crosses Onion Creek on Austin's old Congress bridge. Travis County's parks plan runs the Onion Creek Greenway out to it. Del Valle homes now sell in about 65 days, down from 83 last year. Would you walk it? Shivraj, Grewal RE Group #DelValle #AustinRealEstate

Eagle Trail runs a mile inside Sunset Park off FM 1431.

Two Eagle Scouts built the bridge and the stone steps. Lago Vista homes are going pending in 77 days now, down from 108 a year ago.

Walked it yet?

Buyers keep asking about lots in Tahitian Village.
Bastrop's largest wooded neighborhood holds more than seven thousand platted lots and about sixteen hundred homes. Much of what sells there is land, not a house.
Shivraj, Grewal RE Group.
Land or house?

Park Road 1C runs between two state parks outside Bastrop.
The market out there moves at two speeds. The quickest homes go under contract in about 44 days. The average takes about 108.
Shivraj, Grewal RE Group.
Which pace would you plan around?

McKinney Falls reaches capacity and stops letting cars in.
Buyers near the park assume it is a walk in any Saturday. Texas Parks says reserve a day pass online to guarantee entry.
Shivraj at Grewal RE Group says check before you go.
Reserve, or risk it?

Onion Creek has new parkland you cannot walk yet.
Fifty acres closed in May. It stays shut while hazards come down, opens for passive use inside a year, trails a year or two after.
Shivraj at Grewal RE Group calls it a slow amenity.
Amenity yet, or not?

Main Street in Elgin is busier than the market data suggests.
Days on market reads high here, but it counts the whole standing pool, including new-build phases that sit by design. It is not a verdict on any one house.
What term should I decode next?

Helios Way finishes later this year on Pflugerville's tollway side.

Meanwhile the resale market: 230 homes listed in 30 days, 52 sold. More arriving than leaving.

Which number matters more to you? Shivraj, Grewal RE Group

Buda Mill and Grain sits in a market pulling two directions.

Listings around Buda are up about 31 percent from a year ago, yet the median home now goes under contract in 48 days instead of 74.

Shivraj, Grewal RE Group. Which half surprises you more?
