Clients Purchase Home in Buda’s Whispering Hollow Subdivision
Last week (August 3, 2010), some very special clients of mine closed on the purchase of their “new-to-them” home in the lovely Whispering Hollow neighborhood in Buda. What started out as a connection made via the internet (our website) grew into a relationship between my wife and I and this young couple and their children. We count them as friends now, and enjoy attending the same church as they do.
Their home in Whispering Hollow is a roughly 1,900 sq. ft., single-story model built by Standard Pacific Homes, one of the two builders in Whispering Hollow. Homes in the neighborhood range in size from about 1,150 sq. ft. to over 3,500 sq. ft. The average selling price of homes sold in Whispering Hollow in 2009 was around $216,000 (per data from the Austin Board of Realtors). These homes are very nice, and are suitable for families or individuals who want or need to live in the “suburbs” of Austin, but still want to be close enough to Austin to take advantage of the many things Austin offers.
The construction of homes in Whispering Hollow and in the Estates of Whispering Hollow (homes built by Ryland Homes) began in 2005, and is continuing in mid-2010. A new section in the Estates of Whispering Hollow is being developed, as is a new section in the “regular” part of the community. As part of this expansion of the neighborhood, the developer has added a second entrance/exit to and from the south side of Whispering Hollow. This does a lot to help with traffic flow through the subdivision.
Whispering Hollow has an amenity center which features a gated swimming pool, picnic pavilion, and playscape for your children. Parents with elementary-school-age children should know that the elementary school (Elm Grove) is located “next door” to the subdivision.
