Some of you may not be aware that my mother suddenly passed away this summer. I wanted to share this with you, but have never experienced such a devastating loss. I didn't know what to do or how to handle my new life without her. Through the help of friends, family and writing, I now feel that I'm "back" to my old self.
WE NEED YOUR HELP
Our eyes and ears are always open so we can create the type of blog that makes you want to come back each day. Please tell us what you like, dislike and want to see more of! Post a comment or simply email us. [email protected].
CHANGES COMING SOON
- We're bringing on at least two additional writers. One will focus on Austin, the Texas Hill Country, San Antonio, and the Valley. The other will focus on the Houston Bay Area and Dallas-fort Worth-Arlington.
- Community and builder spotlights will give our audience more information about where to live or invest in Texas. Why did residents choose those communities and what's happening in the surrounding area?
- More commercial news and market updates will be provided since we're going to have a larger staff.

I am blessed to have such wonderful readers and am looking forward to making the Texas Realty Blog the #1 Texas Real Estate News Blog in the country. Thanks again!
I really like to know more about the neighborhoods. I have children so the parks and schools are always important to me. My husband and I are also foodies, so information about the 'hottest' local restaurants would be really helpful as well!

Thanks for all the great info in the blog. I'd love to hear how Texas, and Austin in particular, are fairing in comparison to other real estate markets around the country.
Another thing I'm hearing a lot of people talk about in Austin is the amazing condos under construction near downtown. How do the downtown condos compare with the one's just across the river? Which location is a better investment in your opinion?
Thanks again for the great Austin Real Estate Information

This is excellent input and is the direction we're taking with the blog. Valuable community, school and builder information is definitely needed.
We plan on spotlighting communities, builders and/or projects at least once or twice a week.

I would be interested in reading about special events in Austin specifically for families, singles, seniors, et al. I'd enjoy logging in to see an up-to-date calendar listing events in the area. It would be fun to see a historic section of the blog with before and now photos of historic Austin places. I'd also enjoy reading about some 'off beat' places and stories of hauntings, folklore, ghost stories and legends of Austin and Texas.

Great blog! I specifically search for news on Agave, Mueller airport development, Villa Muse and Fiore (the 5 star green rated development not yet broken ground)and also gather news on the Austin market so I will be checking in frequently for all your news. Thanks!

I would really like to know about the neighborhoods - what local businesses and schools are located nearby, what type of houses and/or condos are planned. Is public transportaion available?
Also, a calendar of events, especially free ones or family oriented events whould be great.
I enjoy reading your blogs!
