Midcentury modern still provides enduring — and coveted — design inspiration, but many homebuyers also include crucial updates on their must-have list. The home at 4427 Crestway Dr. has both, as it's been showcased on the 2009 AIA tour of midcentury modern homes and also given an overall refresh in 1993.

Owned by the same family since 1961, the beautifully designed Central Austin home has been well maintained ever since. Its vaulted ceilings and tall windows let in great light throughout the 3,122 square feet, making it easy to take in the beauty of the large, private, wooded backyard.

Three bedrooms and four bathrooms are spread over two floors, which also include a separate dining room and two living spaces. A stunning stone fireplace is framed by more of those spectacular windows in one living room, while the second-floor dining room overlooks the open entertaining space.

Overall the home is move-in ready, but there is room to expand should the lucky buyer wish. The 200-acre Bright Leaf Preserve sits across the street, guaranteeing that that leafy atmosphere surrounding the home will never change.

Cindy Goldrick, founder of Wilson & Goldrick Realtors, has the listing, which is priced at $1,375,000. Reach out to her at 512-423-7264 (cell), 512-328-0022 (office), or cindy@wilsongoldrick.com for more details or to set up a showing.

Spring Showings

Competition among Austin-area homebuyers set to heat up in mid-April

This newly listed home in South Austin (7337 Menchaca Rd. Unit 31) shows how nice a spring open house can look. realtor.com

If you’re a first-time homebuyer in the Austin metro area, beware of mid-April.

A new study from Austin-based Realtor.com shows that in 2025, the best time to list a home for sale in the Austin area is the week of April 13. This translates into stepped-up competition among homebuyers during that time frame.

Why is the week of April 13 such a popular time to put a home on the market in the Austin area? Brandy Wuensch, president of the Austin Board of Realtors and Unlock MLS, offers three reasons:

Springtime offers a pleasant climate for open houses, leading to more potential buyers touring homes.
Buyers often prefer to move in the spring so they can settle into a new home before the start of the school year in the fall.
Homes listed during this week historically generate more buying activity, and can sell more quickly and at higher prices compared with earlier in the year. According to Realtor.com, the list price of a typical Austin-area home during the week of April 13 is $47,000, or 9.6 percent, above what the list price would have been at the beginning of the year.

“This period tends to hit the sweet spot — buyer demand is high, inventory is still manageable, and sellers are well-positioned to benefit from heightened competition,” says Wuensch, founder and broker-owner of Cedar Park-based City View Realty Group.

For homebuyers, especially first-timers, that heightened competition could be an obstacle in the hunt for a home.

Wuensch says homebuyers should be ready to quickly pounce on a desired home during the week of April 13. She recommends that buyers obtain mortgage pre-approval ahead of that period to demonstrate they’re serious about making a purchase.

“With homes likely to receive multiple offers, be prepared to make swift and competitive bids,” says Wuensch.

Also, determine in advance your must-haves and nice-to-haves before wading into the crowded pool of buyers, she advises.

“Staying informed about market activity and working closely with a professional agent can give you an edge, offering timely insights and access to new listings as they hit the market,” Wuensch adds.
