This is our newsletter for tomorrow, April 17. Before the crisis, we sent one newsletter per month that included basic YOY statistics for the previous month, commentary on those stats, and interesting news. Since COVID began, we’ve been sending a post a week, as there is a lot of interesting news, statistics, and content. We’ve […]

You Can’t Out Train a Bad Diet
I did a mini-challenge last week. I challenged the conventional wisdom that “You can’t out train a bad diet.” It took me ~30 years or so to actually believe that, but it still seems like you could work out enough that you can eat/drink whatever you want. At the beginning of last week, I weighed […]
How Will We Know When the Austin Real Estate Market Begins to Recover?
The easiest way to tell if the market is turning is by looking at the # of pending sales and the # of new closings. However, these are lagging indicators. Sales were under contract 30-45 days ago and buyers started shopping 1-6 months before they put a property under contract. Can we determine that the […]
How Did Past Recessions Affect the Austin Real Estate Market?
And how could this recession affect the market? I’ve monitored the COVID Crisis probably more than I should. Credible sources are speculating that the recession could be incredibly short & v-shaped & other credible sources are predicting that it will be very long and disastrous. I tend to lean towards Goldilocks, who says it will […]
Persistence
“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “Press On” has solved and will […]
April Challenge – Blog Posts
Adam Salamon originally inspired me to try out monthly challenges in 2019. I obviously swung and missed on that in 2019. I think my issue was a really strict and hard challenge for January that I only stuck to for about 2 weeks. Adam recently recommitted to his own monthly challenges, so I thought I […]
Second Try….
My 2019 resolution to write about goals/challenges/etc went off with a massive thud. I did an okay job journaling last year, but an awful job with monthly challenges. Goal setting went well. I hit a lot of my 2019 goals and have my 2020 goals in place (which I’ll share later.) Last week, I put […]
Monthly Challenge(s) – January 2019
We’re back from our ~2 week mountain trip and it was excellent! Beck skied 4 days this year and really took to it. I took him to the top of the ski lift and he was able to get down on his own, only falling a couple of times, and in control the entire time! […]
2019 Resolution: Blogging & Challenges
I’ve always been a goal oriented person, but my goals have been relatively sub-conscious until recently. The first deliberate goal I set was a few years ago and revolved entirely around business revenue. Last year, a friend encouraged me to set much more explicit goals for both life and business, which I did, and was […]
