Georgetown’s Art For A Cause

Gumbo’s | Downtown Georgetown

While the greater Austin metro is sheltering in place due to the Coronavirus impact, small businesses need our help now more than ever.

Rachel Hancock, owner of “Something Social,” is doing just that by simultaneously leveraging her love for small business and her passion for art.

You can directly support more than 30 (and growing) featured Georgetown businesses by purchasing an original 5″ x 5″ print on card stock. Businesses include our family’s favorites like 600 Degrees Pizzeria, Lark & Owl Booksellers, and The Escape Fine Crafts & Gifts.

Prints are $10 each and 100% of the profits will go directly to the store of your choice! Shipping and handling is just $5 or you can choose free pickup at “All Things Kids” at checkout.

Please “shop the square” and help by purchasing one or a few of these works of art for you or a friend! Here’s how you can order from the comfort of your home.

It’s nice to see Central Texans bonding together during these tough times!

Stay happy and healthy,

Below are a couple more reasons why I love downtown Georgetown – I took these pictures on a recent outing with our friends, Shay and Ryne. Architecture, shopping, dining, and small-town charm are unmistakably Georgetown!

Central Texas February 2020 Housing Stats

The Austin Board of Realtors® (ABoR) has posted the February market statistics for the Central Texas area. Included below are highlights for Austin-Round Rock MSA, and Williamson County.

Despite the looming arrival of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) to Texas in late February, the month still concluded with strong results.

• With interest rates on the decline – even into March – the Austin-Round Rock MSA saw showed a 6.8% increase in residential home sales and a 12.8% increase in median sales price to $327,140.
• In Williamson County home sales increased 4.7% and the median price for residential homes increased by 6.8% to $293,600.

Just like local service and retail business, the real estate market has pivoted during this momental time.

My Keller Williams Cedar Park Market Center went 100% virtual in early March. While many Realtors® like myself work remotely, adjustments to the service we provide can include:

• Many title companies have modified their closing procedures to be mindful of CDC and WHO guidelines.
• ABoR discourages Realtors® from hosting Open Houses and the Open House field online has been turned off (you shouldn’t find Open Houses listed).
• We lean on technology to help connect home buyers and sellers. Expanded visual libraries, interactive floor plans and virtual tours will help give buyers greater insight.
• For fellow Realtors, ABoR offices, events, and classes are closed through April 30, 2020. Some Realtor® classes have gone virtual.

If you’re considering buying or selling, the short answer is yes! Austin’s economy and housing market could be well positioned to minimize the potentially negative impact of COVID-19, Mark Sprague, state director of information capital for Independence Title, said. Contact me and lets address any concerns and how we can keep your goals and current market conditions working together!

While it’s been challenging not being as socially mobile as I’m used to, staying at home has reminded me of the special things. *Even more* home cooked meals, more time with the family, less time on the road and an appreciation for my friends, family, and neighbors who have been showering me with funny memes, idea-sharing to keep the neighborhood kids still exploring and the arrival of spring here in Central Texas.

Stay happy and healthy!

Your Austin Holiday Gift Guide

With mere days before the big day we’ve amassed a shopper’s shortlist of our favorite local goodies to put more fa-la-la-la-la in your holaday gift giving. ❄️ ❄️❄️  These gift ideas are sure to delight the senses!

Owl bet you have someone on your list who would love one of these granite owls. Perfect for the garden! Available at Hill Country Water Gardens – our go-to place for inspiration for special things inside and especially outside the home!

Show them the love for your favorite state! These one-of-a-kind works of art are made from recycled wood. Gift cards, T-shirts and more available at Hemlock & Heather online.

Don’t just give them a present – give them an *experience* to remember! Boating Lake Travis is one of my family’s favorite things ever. Gift cards are available beginning at $60 at QuickGifts. Surf’s up!

Kiss goodbye to dry lips and give a hello kiss to a great smile, compliments of Austin-based Lizard Lips! This stuff heals, moisturizes, and protects for life’s greatest adventures (like when you’re enjoying the lake). Available online or at our favorite home away from home… Buc-ee’s! 

“Create world peace one backyard at at time!” Wind chimes from Music of the Spheres are tough as Texas nails but create etheral sounds that delight. You can purchase these online or swing by the East Cesar Chavez showroom to get yours. *And theirs!*

It may be local honey but you’ll send their taste buds into outer orbit with Round Rock Bourbon Barrel Honey. This stuff is the bomb diggity that’s fresh. Raw. And local. Score it online! Plus try our honey-roasted cashew recipe that was inspired by this tasty liquid gold.

What do super Texans drink? Super Texan wine, of course! This wine hails from Flat Creek Estate and it’s won several awards including “most romantic wine,” from the Home Style Austin Team. Available at select HEBs, online… or via short drive to the wine estate. From Cedar Park head west on 1431 for about 30 scenic minutes.

Gift them comfort food for the soul! Soul Popped is a small biz on the rise with Texas-sized flavors like Chicken ‘n Waffles, Banana Pudding, and Heavenly Macaroni & Cheese. Dash to Barton Creek Square or the Soul Popped website to get your groove on.

Dorothy won’t be the only one claiming “there’s no place like home” when your lucky gift recipient lights one of these “Home Sweet Home” soy candles! Vanilla bean, spice, juicy raisins, and oats will ignite the heart and home. We score ours regularly at Honey & Hay in Cedar Park.

They’ll always be able to find their way home with this Austin’s Neighborhood poster. Maybe it’s the Realtor in me but what a fun way to celebrate the neighborhoods that make Austin so great. Available on Etsy.

All the best for the happiest of holidays from us to you!
