Texas Property Insider- Austin Real Estate and Texas Coastal Real Estate Blog

Welcome to Texas Property Insider. The purpose of this blog is to provide accurate and helpful information about market trends and issues important to property owners in Central Texas and on the Texas Coast. You hear a lot of talk out there. You see the statistics, read the stories in the newspaper and you see practitioners regurgitate those same stories and statistics. There is more information available then ever before. But why is it, even after all of the stories and pundits have had their say, you still feel you can’t grasp what’s really happening in the real estate market?


There is a lot more to it than simple statistics and market info. These numbers are helpful and vitally important, but if taken at face value they can be misleading, even deceiving. As Mark Twain once said, “There are lies, damned lies and then there are statistics.” I created this blog to pull back the curtain on Texas real estate, interpret the market information and present it to you in a format that is both pithy and easy to digest.

Vacation Rentals, Growing in Popularity....

Over the past year and a half we have seen a huge surge in Port Aransas vacation rentals. This makes sense when one considers the economic down and it's affect on discretionary spending and vacations. As the economy slowed more and more people planned vacations closer to home. Many of these trips were planned to the Texas Coast and allowed people to re-familiarize themselves with the coast.

I can't tell you how many people have told me. "I haven't been to the Texas Coast in 15 years, man, has it ever changed." The increase in traffic at the coast has allowed people to re-familiarize themselves with a coast that has grown up and cleaned up.

This re-introduction to the Texas Coast has caused the popularity of this area to increase. Port Aransas and Rockport experienced a record number of reservations this year and vacation rentals are starting to fill up for next year.

Are you interested in spending some time on the Texas Coast? Contact us about your vacation rental today...
