Austin Real Estate Agent Kenn Renner helps his clients take advantage of the real estate market in Austin, Texas, helping his last 3 home buying clients save $127,500 in the past 30 days.

Austin, Texas, December 21, 2009 — Austin home sales picked up 38% over 2008 (as reported by the Austin American Statesman). “Homebuyers are obviously taking advantage of builder incentives and home sellers seeking to cash out and move-up,” says Kenn Renner with www.BuyAustin.com. With the recent extension and expansion of the Federal Tax Credit, now even more homebuyers are able to take advantage of Uncle Sam’s free giveaway. Although the Austin area has been relatively sheltered from the recent economic housing downturn, there are still fantastic housing deals available to first time and move up homebuyers. Real estate broker Kenn Renner with Keller Williams Realty has been busy helping homebuyers cash in on not only the tax credit, but also builder discounts and seller concessions being offered in today’s market.

Kenn explains, “It’s a unique opportunity for homebuyers who are selling their first home and moving up to their next home. The reason being is that in the lower price ranges under $160,000 it is currently a seller’s market. A well-priced and well-staged home will sell in a relatively short period of time – sometimes at or more than asking price. Those that are selling those homes will often times purchase a move up home in the $250,000 to $400,000 price range, which currently is a buyer’s market in the Austin area. It has been my pleasure to help many clients in the last 30 days take advantage of U.S. tax credits and builder incentives.”
