RANDY WILLIAMS...Austin Real Estate

The best value in West Austin. That’s what I consider the Canyon Creek neighborhood to be. Not because I sold Standard Pacific Homes on site there for ten years, and not that I have sold many, resales there since. No it’s for a different reason. Canyon Creek had the dubious and unique honor for 20 plus years of being the only Austin ...

 In many ways I think this modern world is absolutely the cat’s pajamas. I do however occasionally feel just a bit…actually more than a bit…completely overwhelmed by modern technology. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve no one to blame but myself. I’ve got just enough nerd in me that I can never say no to a good ...

I am STILL on an OPEN HOUSE crusade on my two Tarrytown listings (see my home page)…they are very close-in west Austin…new construction with a fabulous finish out, both have Garage Apartments that can be leased to a friend, relative, or college student. Now they are priced at $180 per square foot in a neighborhood in which $296 per ...

I am a big believer in OPEN HOUSES. It seems to be a solid way to get at least a dozen people through a listing even when the market is extremely slow. People are always out and about on weekends, and even if the visitor isn’t a direct prospect for the listing, he or she has their own network of friends and relatives. I am on an OPEN HOUSE ...

This line is from Al Capp’s “L’il Abner” cartoon strip, which was famous in the fifties…about ...

Don’t miss the Open House Weekend at my two Tarrytown listings. Both 2517 No. 1 Winsted Lane and 2517 No. 2 Winsted Lane will be open from 1:00 until 4:00 in the afternoon. They will be all lit up and lovely, so come on by. In case the addressing confuses you, here’s why it’s that way. There was one double lot with an old house ...

Anyone who has studied American manufacturing concepts is surely aware of the phrase “planned obsolescence”. The term came into wide spread use 1954 when American industrial designer Brooks Stevens coined it at a speech he gave in Minneapolis at an advertising conference. The idea being that a thing is deliberately built to lower ...

It’s summertime in Austin, and if you don’t know what that means…it’s hot! The kind of hot that can melt a massive iceberg in about twenty minutes if you could put it in a Walmart parking lot. But, you know what…I like it. When that sunshine falls on my body, I feel life flowing into me. I know…the ...
