From the Publisher: A Special Thanks to Our Readers It has been seven months since our first issue of the Williamson County Real Estate Magazine. This month seems like a good time to express appreciation to our readers and the real estate industry at large for the warm welcome and resounding support. We are working hard to better understand our audience and to deliver a valuable product to you on a monthly basis. I hope all of you will continue to reach out to us any time with feedback or questions.

I’m thankful for our ad partners. Without the valuable support of our advertisers, we would not have a business.

They support our magazine and our mission, and we overtly celebrate theirs. We invite you to do the same, as often as possible.

I thank God for allowing it to all be possible.

And finally, I give thanks for my family, friends, community, country, and so much that has enriched my life. For meaningful work, for enjoyable play. For enough to eat, a wonderful home...and, well, far too much to mention here.

Perhaps at our own moments of Thanksgiving this year we can remember the blessings of all those things we normally take for granted – power at the flick of a switch to create light or heat or cooling. Accessible transportation. Steady land beneath our feet. Open communication lines to stay in touch with families and friends.

So whether you will be able to talk across a table or across a telephone line or via an electronic medium this Thanksgiving – be mindful and thankful for whatever blessings you enjoy.

Happy Thanksgiving!

How To Perform

a House Blessing

H

ouse blessing is an ancient tradition that invites positive energy into your home.

Your home is an extension of your body and spirit. As you give to your home, you give to yourself. As you might have experienced, your space reflects and affects your inner life.

If you bless your home and lavish it with love, it becomes a gracious holder of your dreams.

During a house blessing, you can imbue the space with love, harmony, health, happiness, and prosperity.

It is especially potent to do a house blessing after cleaning the physical rooms and performing a space cleansing. You should always clean before you energize. Blessing your house is akin to energizing it with prayers

and positive intentions. You can do a house blessing before you move into a new space or when you want to bless a space you already inhabit in a new, purposeful way. For example, you may do a house blessing when a new spouse moves in or a baby comes into your life.

You can also do one after you clear clutter and want to invite fresh energy into your home.

You can perform a house blessing by yourself or with family and friends. The more positive intentions you invoke, the better. If you invite like-minded friends to participate, you might ask them to bring a special prayer, poem, or ritual to share. Below are five steps from “Feng Shui Your Life” to create a harmonious house blessing.

1. Set the tone by playing sacred music and ask everyone to stand in a circle.

2. Welcome and thank your friends and family for being a part of this special occasion.

3. Light a pink candle (pink brings the energy of love and kindness) and pass it to each new person, who then shares a blessing.

4. You may also walk to different areas of the home stating specific intentions for each room as a way of consecrating it for a special purpose.

5. When the house blessing comes to an end, place the

6

Williamson County Real Estate Magazine — November 2015

pink candle in the center of your home to burn for at least one hour. Open all East windows and doors to invite the life-giving energy of the rising sun into your home.

There are many house blessing prayers, so feel free to research one that feels right to you and your family. Below is a prayer that I use and suggest to my clients. Feel free to edit it to make it your own.

“To the Divine Spirit (or Universal Energy, Supreme One etc), in lighting this candle we summon love, harmony, peace, and prosperity into our home.

May we be blessed with good health, happiness, success, and abundance.

May this home be a sacred dwelling for us and our children. May those who visit us feel peace and love.

We decree that this home is now shielded from harm, illness, or misfortune. Thank you for bringing divine light, love and energy into our hearts, rooms, and endeavors. With tremendous gratitude, we thank you. In full faith, so be it and so it is!�

Wishing you much happiness, health, love and prosperity!

n Leander, homebuyers in Hawkes Landing are finding their new home searches eased by the quality of builders in the community and its central location.

The two premier builders in Hawkes Landing, Highland Homes and Pacesetter Homes, ensure that the first part of that homebuyer checklist is taken care of quickly. Starting in the $240s, new homes range from 1,700-2,700 square-feet with three and four bedroom plans that offer high quality standards and stylish upgraded features.

Every homebuyer has a checklist of needs that spans beyond the basics of floor plans, layouts, curb appeal and finishes. After you pinpoint that new home design that is fitted with the right squarefootage, number of beds and baths and unbeatable backyard in your price range, it’s important to get a feel for the area the home is located in.

Here are a few of the nearby perks of living in Hawkes Landing:

Devine Lake Park

Leander ISD As working adults, there are plenty of errands, chores, responsibilities and obligations that weigh on your everyday. In Hawkes Landing, you can all but eliminate the hassle of getting kids to school on time, when they are all so close to home.

Bagdad Elementary School is within walking distance, Leander Middle School is a six-minute drive on Old Farm to Market Rd. 2243 and Rouse High School is only 11 minutes away off of Highway 183. What a relief!

Leander Metro Rail Station As the Austin area grows, it’s been a priority for city and town officials to build greater infrastructure for public transportation throughout the greater area. The Leander Metro Rail Station includes a total of 600 parking spaces for nearby residents to ride the rails into the city center. There’s also a Park & Ride program making the commute for area professionals simpler, safer, cleaner and more cost-effective.

Of the community’s 94 acres, a few are carved out as parkland, space designated to connect with neighboring Devine Lake Park for the benefit of residents. The greater park includes an enormous 45-acres worth of recreational space, including areas for fishing and wildlife observation, casual boating, spaces to barbecue and an area for dogs to roam free off-leash.

8 Reasons to Buy a House Between

W

inds are blowing, temperatures are dropping.

What better time to…buy a house! Wait, buy a house, you say? At the beginning of winter? In the midst of the holiday shopping season? But, there’s so much to do at this time of year. You’re busy decking halls, singing joyous and striking harps. Why add to the stress? Before you totally dismiss the idea though, this may just be the best time of year to purchase a home. Consider these benefits to you as a prospective buyer:

2. Prices Are Lower – Housing prices are typically at their lowest in December.

Sellers who have had their homes on the market since the spring and summer often lower their price to try and move it. Who better to reap the benefits of these bigger discounts than you? And with lower prices, you might be able to afford more house now than you would be able to in the spring.

3. Sellers Are Motivated – Sellers are more 1. Less People Buying – There are less people buying homes between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Most individuals are at the malls this time of year, shopping for holiday gifts, not homes.

Because of this, there is less competition when it comes to bidding. When you find a house you love, odds are there aren’t many others looking at it. It is unlikely that multiple offers are coming in on the house. You will avoid bidding wars, and your offer will be more attractive to the seller because, most likely, it will be the only one they receive.

motivated at year end because of tax purposes.

If someone has their house on the market during the holidays, you know they are serious about selling. You may feel guilty for intruding on time typically reserved for family and friends. But don’t be shy about looking at House buying in December just because it is the holidays.

If a seller has a sign out in the yard during December, it’s a welcome sign. They really want buyers to come and look at it. Take advantage of their urgency. Maybe you’ll even get some holiday decorating ideas!

4. Sellers Will Negotiate – Sellers are more

Williamson County Real Estate Magazine — November 2015

willing to negotiate in December. Having a house on the market is stressful. Many sellers will take a lower offer during the holidays just so they can “enjoy” the holidays with the feeling of being done with the whole process. If their home has been on the market since the spring or summer, they will be anxious to sell. In addition, they may be willing to move up their original closing

by Ken Dellutri date, or agree to other concessions that work to your benefit.

5. Agents Have More Time – Real estate agents will have more time to devote to you.

They have less clients looking at houses in December, and fewer houses to show. So you will get more personalized attention from them.

They will answer your calls more quickly, get documents prepared sooner, and look out for your interests.

6. Closings Are Faster – If you are a smart buyer and you have an experienced loan officer, you will have been properly pre-approved before you even start to look at houses. Because of this, you can close faster. In addition, there are fewer overall real estate transactions in November and December, making it easier to reserve a closing date.

Lenders aren’t as busy either, so they can schedule you in.

7. Additional Tax Deduction – You will have an

additional tax deduction if you close on your home before the end of the year. This includes any pro-rated property taxes, prepaid mortgage at the time of closing, and most closing fees. (Always check with your accountant regarding any tax deductions.)

8. Enjoy Your Summer – You can enjoy your home over the summer! While everyone else is busy packing, moving and unpacking during the heat of the summer, you are relaxing, possibly poolside, with a cool drink.

Did you lose out on some great deals earlier this year because of the competition? Then clearly, now is a good time to be looking.

Sacrifice a little bit of your time during the holiday season, and your chances are not only better for scoring an advantageous investment opportunity, but you will find yourself truly home for the holidays.

In addition to our ENERGY STAR certified homes, we go the extra mile to ensure that our homes meet EcoSmart standards, meaning each of our newly built Century Communities homes are LEED certified. Our homes are certified with the U.S. Green Building Council and to back that up we also guarantee heating and cooling costs for 2 years.

We encourage our realtor partners to host an Open House in one of our finely crafted completed inventory homes in any of our communities to experience the Century difference. We love partnering with realtors and have up to 5% realtor commissions on selected inventory homes.You may schedule an Open House by emailing weloverealtors@ centurycommunities.com and specifying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Open House Requestâ&#x20AC;? in the subject line.

We would love to see you at our Blackhawk community Grand Opening in October. To join our interest list and be kept up to date on our newest community, please send an email to weloverealtors@centurycommunities.com
