Another East Austin modern at heart charmer. This home is full of inexpensive, but very thoughtfully executed details. For example they take advantage of all those wonderful windows, but maintain privacy by putting roller blinds one pane below the top. That way you can close them, have privacy, but still let light in, and see out. Brilliant!

Read MoreAustin real estate has a big problem. Affordability. With so much demand for housing, prices are being driving up and out of reach for many, especially in central Austin. That's why I get a bit excited about "deals" like this house. Sure, it's not very big, but it's well executed, simple and under $250,000.

Read MoreLast week before it hit the market, I had the chance to walk through this house designed and built by Austin based Minguell-McQuary. I was pleasantly impressed. It's so rare to see a house on the east side that is this well detailed architecturally. It's the little things, baseboard details, metalwork etc that really make this place. Here's to hoping that good design really can command that kind of price. Fingers crossed.

Read MoreI just walked through this home, and I'm 90% sure it was designed by Emily Little. The floor plan is almost identical to the Emily Little designed Agave home I sold earlier this year. Like that home, this one has some lovely airy public spaces, but add to that an amazing location. Walking distance to Gourmands, Lost Wells, Bar 2211 and the new commercial and restaurant space coming soon on Webberville. All that accounts for the nearly $200,000 premium over Agave. Location people. It makes a HUGE impact on home prices.

Read MoreThis east Austin charmer is freshly completed and ready for you. While I'm typically not a fan of the detached duplex's that are being pushed so hard on the east side, this one looks better than most. That, coupled with the reasonable price makes this a winner.

Read MoreIt's hard not to love a house as well decorated as this one. Besides being full of MCM goodness (Womb chair, Eames LCM and hang it all, Nelson lamp and eye clock and that's just one room!) the home has some solid finishes too. I love the kitchen with it's marble countertops, grain matched cabinets and the pop of blue in the tile. The rest of the house is equally tasteful with quality finishes as well. It's interesting that they don't include any great shots of the front of the house. Don't let that fool you though, I've seen it and it's quite nice.
