Selling a home in today’s market takes more than simply putting a listing online and waiting for buyers to appear. At Kopa Real Estate, we recently helped homeowners at 3601 Turkey Path Bend in the Ranch at Brushy Creek sell their home after it previously sat on the market for 6 months with another real estate agent without success.

After hiring our team, the home sold in just 18 days — and we secured a contract after only 3 days on the market.

This is exactly why many homeowners in Cedar Park, Round Rock, Leander, and the greater Austin area contact us when their home listing expires. We specialize in helping sellers relaunch homes that didn’t sell the first time.

How Much Does A New Roof Cost In Austin?

If you’re a homeowner in Austin or Cedar Park, one of the most common questions we hear is, “How much does a new roof cost?” The truth is, roof replacement prices can vary widely depending on the contractor, materials, and your home’s unique needs. Before selling a home, many of our clients ask about whether they should replace the roof and how much it will impact the sale. To give you an example, one of our clients recently requested bids from three different roofing companies here in Central Texas—and the estimates ranged from $16,850 to $27,482 for the exact same house.

It’s hard to believe, but summer is already around the corner. Here in the Austin area, our home-selling “season” kicks off in spring and reaches its peak in the summer. It’s our busiest time of year, although this year things will be a little different.

With interest rates up, demand has slowed compared to last year. Prices remain high and sellers still have the upper hand, but buyers have a bit more leverage and homes are taking longer to sell on average. This season, homes that are attractive to buyers and marketed aggressively will sell fast and high. Here are the strategies we’re using to position our summer sellers for the best result possible.

I have to give myself a little grace here because I haven’t gotten much sleep lately and I’ve…

If you have been shopping for a home there are 3 important things you should know about mortgage interest rates today.

Fed Raised Rates And Mortgage Rates Went Down

You probably heard the Federal Reserve raised interest rates .75% in July. The Federal Reserve does not control mortgage interest rates. It seems counterintuitive, but when the Fed raised their rates mortgage interest rates actually went down. Mortgage interest rates had been over 6% back in June. As of August 2nd, we were seeing quotes for 30 Year Conventional rates near 5%.

Jumbo Rates Are Lower Than Conventional Rates

In the Austin area the loan limit for Conventional mortgages is $647,200. If you are borrowing more than that you would be getting a “Jumbo” mortgage.…

Because we have a market-proven system to sell investment properties that have always been a good portion of our business. This year we have been contacted by an unusually large number of investors who are considering selling their investment property. Some of the investors think the market is nearing a top while others have decided being a landlord isn’t for them. If you are thinking about selling your investment property here are a few questions to ask yourself.

Do you want to be a landlord?

I believe successful investors enjoy owning investment properties and they run their investment properties like a business. If you don’t enjoy some of the negative aspects of owning rental properties such as dealing with tenants or having to lease a…

Happy New Year Austin homeowners and home buyers. Here are my top 5 predictions for the Austin real estate market for 2022 but first let’s review the real estate statistics covering 2021 for the Austin, TX MLS area. It was another great year for real estate in the area.

The number of sales was down 5.7% to 3,756 sales but up 2.9% sales for the year with 44,871 sales overall.

The average months of inventory remained at less than 1 month. That means if no additional homes come on the market, it would take less than a month for all the homes currently for sale to be sold. A real estate market with 4-6 months of inventory is considered balanced between buyers and sellers so we are still in a strong seller’s market.

The average…

If you are holding off selling due to taxes contact me and I can point you in the right direction of how to find out what you will pay based on your situation.
