Amy, I don’t know your exact neighborhood but I know Austin, and your home is on the south end of the city limits which isn’t as desirable as some of the more central locations ( I mean no disrespect). With the economy in flux, as well as the housing market deteriorating, I believe you need to be more aggressive given there are homes priced a bit higher than yours for sale in far more desirable neighborhoods, such as Westlake. You also have to compete with Circle C Ranch and the new homes being developed there.
I wish you the best of luck!

I’d just deduct what I thought removing those things would cost and make an offer!
Adding a pic of the back yard and the rest of the kitchen would help give potential buyers a complete picture of what is being offered.
Good luck!

My son is in basic training in the Air Force right now, and I’ll be attending his graduation on Sept 12. I was planning on checking out Austin anyway while I’m there since it’s only an hour’s drive. Maybe I’lll drive by your house.
