We're trying to keep from having to build more power plants. Visit http://www.austinauditors.com for more info on the ECAD audits, general home efficiency tips, and what's going on around town.

On most of my articles on Austin, I try to say "Austin area," to indicate that suburban areas around Austin are included. See our research on the Austin market at the end of 2nd Quarter, 2009: http://www.weloveaustin.com/markettrend/Austin-Real-Estate-Market-2nd-Quarter-2009.html I will send you a email directly with more info on northwest Austin and the small city of Cedar Park. These are strong parts of the Austin area and deserve your attention. Thanks! Roselind Bill, thanks for the question!

When I read the blogs etc. on real estate in Austin I find a concentration on Austin itself and little commentary on the surrounding areas. OF greatest interest to me is Cedar Park and any commentary on its market to the extent that it is different from Austin. I am interested in fact based discussions on the pros and cons of investing in Cedar Park and north west Austin. So let me know what you know!!!

I run a company that does the audits. It's called Austin Auditors. Website is www.austinauditors.com. I feel that rather than be something to which consumers are averse, the energy audits are a symbol of Austin being progressive and interested in a sustainable community. It is important that buyers are in tune with the fact that rebates are available following their purchase of the home. You can visit my website at http://www.austinauditors.com/gov_rebates.html to see the rebates available.
