Kicking Off Football Season

Tailgates & Fall Real Estate

September 1, 2023

The Oldham Group Austin | Courtney Oldham

Countdown to Kick Off!

The excitement is building…Texas football season is finally here! Many Americans, and especially Texans, believe football is the best sport ever invented. Here are a few reasons we’re ready for kick off!

Fans
People come together from all parts of Austin to cheer on the Longhorns! Decked out in burnt orange and boots, you’re likely to have a new best friend by the end of the game!
Food
Austin is a town for foodies, but there’s nothing quite like football food! Fire up the smoker (the night before the game) and throw on the brisket, sausage and beans! Here’s Culture Map’s Mouthwatering List of Tailgate Foods.
Tailgating
Come early…that’s right you’re supposed to arrive early and with a cooler! Hanging out on Bevo Boulevard with family & friends for hours before the big game is a must-have experience. Looking for a new tailgate? Join the Burnt Orange Bleeders as they support the Lone Star Paralysis Foundation at MLK and Trinity!
Fashion
Game Day Couture is definitely a thing! Do a quick Google search for UT football outfit inspiration and you’ll see what I mean. Check out our favorite local boutiques like Estilo and Lux Rox for a great look!

Fall Real Estate Outlook

I’ve been talking about the resiliency of the Austin real estate market for months, even as the market corrects from it’s peak in May of 2022. Here are some things you need to know about this real estate market in Austin this fall…

  • The Austin market is STILL hot!
  • People are moving to Austin for high paying jobs and quality of life!
  • Sellers need to be prepared for more intense competition.
  • Sellers shouldn’t skimp on the make-ready! Ask Courtney about what you need to do to cause your home to stand out from the competition.
  • Sellers should be realistic on price. Well priced homes ARE selling, often times with multiple offers, even today!
  • Buyers have an opportunity to “make money when you buy!”
  • Buyers can handle a little higher rate since prices have corrected, act now while the opportunities exist!
  • There are some great values out there and incredible mortgage products, take advantage of Courtney’s network and resources.
  • Off market sales are still happening, ask Courtney about the hidden gems in your favorite area.
