If you plan to stay for at least 3 to 5 years, buying is probably a good idea provided you pick the right floorplan, lot location, etc. If you plan to stay for less than 2 years, you're probably better off renting. Contact me direct if you want to discuss in more detail. I'll send you an email. Thanks Steve Hi John,

I like the area and I don't mind the commute to downtown Austin, either. My question is, is it a good time to buy a new home in this area at this point? The homes are tad pricey (I like them though), but I'm worried if I may be paying too much. I noticed all the new development in the area and I'm concerned about the future appreciation of the house I'm looking at purchasing. I see new communities popping up such as Ledgestone and Belterra's new section. Highpointe still has a large number of lots available and I heard a new community is opening up near Drippings Springs (Headwater at Barton Creek?). Also, could I use this fact in my negotiations if I decide to purchase a new home (get the builder to pay closing costs, etc)? Thanks, John M.
