Market Update
May 15, 2026
If you are buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on what is happening in the Williamson County real estate market, 2026 has been a genuinely interesting year to watch. The market is not what it was during the peak years of 2021 and 2022, and it is not the slow, uncertain environment of 2023. It is something in between, and understanding the nuance of where things actually stand right now is what separates good decisions from bad ones in this environment.
A Guide to Hill Country Towns near Liberty Hill
May 14, 2026
One of the things I genuinely love about living and working in Liberty Hill is that we are sitting at the doorstep of some of the most beautiful and underrated country in all of Texas. People who are new to the area or thinking about making a move here often focus entirely on Liberty Hill itself. And that makes sense. But one of the biggest selling points of this location is everything that is within a short drive. Burnet, Marble Falls, Bertram, and the surrounding Highland Lakes region are all right there, and they each have something distinct and wonderful to offer.
Growth in Liberty Hill & Leander
May 8, 2026
If you live in Leander or Liberty Hill, you do not need a report to tell you that things are moving fast out here. You can see it every time you drive down 183 and notice another development taking shape, or when you realize that a stretch of land that was empty two years ago now has a new neighborhood, a new retailer, or a new amenity center under construction.
The Cost of Overpricing Your Home
May 6, 2026
I want to have an honest conversation about something that comes up almost every time I sit down with a seller right now. It is the question of pricing, specifically, the temptation to list a little high and see what happens. I understand the instinct completely. Your home means a lot to you. You have put time, money, and care into it. And it is easy to look back at what homes were selling for in 2021 and 2022 and feel like that number should still be within reach.
Best Neighborhoods for Families
May 5, 2026
If you are searching for the best neighborhoods in Liberty Hill, TX for families, you have already figured out something that a lot of people are discovering right now. This part of Central Texas offers something that is genuinely hard to find: beautiful Hill Country land, a school district that is growing and performing well, a strong sense of community, and a price point that still makes sense compared to living closer to Austin. It is a compelling combination.
Target Coming to Liberty Hill
May 2, 2026
If you live in Liberty Hill or have been keeping an eye on this area, you already know that things move fast out here. But this one stopped me in my tracks when I first heard about it. Liberty Hill is getting a Target. And not just a regular Target. A 148,000 square foot Target that is being reported as potentially the largest Target store in the world.
Custom Home Building
May 1, 2026

More and more people are choosing this part of Central Texas not just for what it is today, but for what it continues to become. The land is stunning, the communities are growing with intention, and the opportunity to build something that is genuinely yours from the ground up has never been more accessible in this area.
PopStroke Cedar Park
April 30, 2026
One of the most exciting new additions to our area is finally open. PopStroke Cedar Park has arrived, and if you have not been yet, it is worth moving up on the list. This is not the mini golf of your childhood. It is something noticeably different, and once you see it in person, you will understand why people are talking about it.
Central Texas Housing Market
April 29, 2026
The past few years in real estate have been anything but typical. If you have been watching the Austin area housing market, you already know that. We have not seen a truly balanced market since 2019, and a lot has happened between then and now. Understanding where we have been helps put where we are today in the right context.
Protesting Property Assesments
April 28, 2026
Last year, 72% of homeowners in Williamson County did not protest their property tax assessments. That is a major missed opportunity, and honestly, it surprised me when I saw that number.
Protesting your property tax assessment in Williamson County is one of the easiest ways to put money back in your pocket, and most people are simply leaving it on the table.

Spring Real Estate Market
March 30, 2026
Every year around March, we start hearing the same thing in real estate: the spring market is picking up. And while every year brings its own unique conditions, there are some very real reasons why spring has traditionally been one of the busiest and most active times in the housing market.
Here in Liberty Hill, that seasonal shift is something we often start to feel in March and early April.
