Whispering Hollow Subdivision in Buda: Market and Development Plans
One of our favorite real estate practices is visiting area neighborhoods so we can keep up with what is happening in that local portion of the Austin area market. This afternoon, we made a return visit to the Whispering Hollow and Estates of Whispering Hollow subdivision in northern Hays County (Buda), TX.
Here are some things we noted on this trip:
1. The two builders (Standard Pacific Homes and Ryland Homes) are both still active in the community, but the number of new home starts is down significantly from the last half of last year. At one time in that period, we counted over 20 new homes in various stages of completion. This made it difficult for owners of 
the few resale homes on the market at the time to compete with the builder sales and concessions offered to buyers (a fairly common issue in new home communities!). Today, a few new homes were being built, and a few were awaiting buyers.
2. Whispering Hollow will soon have a second road leading into and out of the community. Middle Creek Dr. is being extended to Old Black Colony Rd. on the south side of Whispering Hollow. This extension was projected to be finished by now, but was held up by the rains that we needed so desperately. One of the new home sales reps said that completion is expected in another month or so. This new road will also allow the opening of another section of home sites in Whispering Hollow.
3. This last photo shows that the developer is also making preparations for a new section of homes in the Estates of Whispering Hollow. I don't yet know when it is expected to be opened for construction and new home sales.
If you are looking for a new or a resale home in Whispering Hollow or in the Estates of Whispering Hollow, let's talk! I would like to help you with that purchase.
