CultureMap Austin writes, "Thanks to its deep agricultural roots, the Lone Star State boasts the most ranches and farms of any state in the U.S. — nearly 250,000, according to the Texas Department of Agriculture. Of course, we’ve got a lot of wide open space for those ranches and farms, as Texas spans nearly 172 million acres.

While Texas leads the U.S. in the number of ranches and farms, it also leads the U.S. in the number of ranches on the market. Recent data from Realtor.com shows 7,411 Texas ranches were on the market as of early September — far outpacing the second-ranked state of Kentucky, which had 1,641 ranches up for sale.

Based on the average size of a Texas ranch, 511 acres, the amount of Texas ranchland on the market would equate to…

Austin Business Journal reports, "Thousands of trees have made way for the next phase of a neighborhood offering lakeside living.

ABJ Photojournalist Dave Creaney and his drone were out and about in the Lake Travis area recently, and in this neck of the woods he found notably more water than usual due to the weather but significantly fewer trees due to demand for housing.

Lakeside at Tessera has been rising in the Lago Vista suburb for a few years. Homebuilders include Coventry Homes, Highland Homes, Saratoga Homes, Toll Brothers Homes, Trophy Signature Homes and Westin Homes. A private boat dock and pool will be among the amenities.

The neighborhood is next to the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge, which is owned and managed by…

CultureMap Austin shares, "Crime may be a concern for some Austinites, but life is a little more relaxed just beyond the city limits. Cedar Park, Georgetown, and Round Rock were just named among the safest suburbs to live in the U.S., as declared in a new report by financial advisor marketplace SmartAsset.

The report ranked 360 suburbs of major U.S. cities based on their crime rates, vehicular and drug poisoning mortality rates, and the percentage of the population engaging in "excessive drinking." Housing affordability was an additional factor considered for the 35 safest suburbs.

The No. 1 safest American suburb is Lehi, Utah, which is nearly 30 miles south of Salt Lake City.

Cedar Park (No. 45) was the highest ranking Austin suburb,…

Mansion Global writes, "Once the poster child for the pandemic housing boom, Austin, Texas, is seeing some of the nation’s steepest price declines for luxury homes, coupled with a growing supply of listings.

Luxury house hunters are now facing less competition and far more choice than even a year ago, marking an opportunity to buy before demand overwhelms supply again. There were 20% more luxury listings on the market in the greater metro area in the first quarter than a year ago, according to data from Realtor.com, which defines luxury as the top 10% of the market by listing price. 

“I have not seen this much great inventory in Austin in a long time, even since before the pandemic,” said luxury real estate agent Kumara Wilcoxon of Kuper…

Austin Business Journal writes, "While working on the future $130 million Shops at Flatrock Crossing development, Bobby Johnson heard a common refrain from retailers he was trying to court to Marble Falls over the last two years: they wanted to be in the fast-growing area northwest of Austin, but didn't have anywhere to go.

That's why he views it as validating that the project — which was officially announced earlier this month and is expected to bring more than 300,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space to Marble Falls next year — has already secured a tenant lineup that includes Academy Sports + Outdoors, T.J. Maxx and Michael's Stores, with other big names on the way.

"Markets like Marble Falls are the growth direction for a lot of…
