While much of the East Austin "modern" infill isn't the most impressive, this particular project from Verde looks to be pretty darn good. There are some nice touches like the pocketing sliding glass door, open metal stairs, wood accents on the siding and the addition of a gas outdoor fireplace are all above and beyond that spec standard. Hopefully others will follow their lead.

Read MoreLong time readers may remember this house from a bit over a year ago when I last featured it. It looks like the current owners have done a great job furnishing the space, and adding the privacy deck in the front yard. Also, please note the $100,000 price increase in just one year! The lesson here is if you have been thinking about buying, don't wait any longer. Your dream house is not getting any cheaper.

Read MoreWe've seen some good modern homes this week, and some great mid century modern, so it only seems fitting to wrap it up with a modern at heart. I was thinking this morning about what I would do if I was on a tight (read under $250k) budget in Austin and buying a home. I think I would pretty much buy the cheapest thing I could on the East side, and remodel it like this.

Read MoreIf you read my newsletter this house probably looks familiar. Designed by Ezra Wheeler this modern home manages to be both minimal and eclectic in it's design. It's the little bits like the textured white door, the wood ceiling etc that help keep the space from feeling too cold. There are some better pictures here where it's furnished.

Read MoreEver wonder how much space you need to live in? This house is making 580 sq/ft look pretty attractive. The space can pretty much be summed up in three words. Compact, efficient and charming. What more do you need?

Read MoreThere were a handful of good homes that came on the market over the weekend, which made todays favorite a bit hard to choose. In the end though, I'm a sucker for a good east Austin location, and some great staging. That price doesn't hurt either.
