Market Target Update with Stacey

Avery Carl — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 08:00:00 +0000

In this episode of the series, Luke Carl sits down with Stacey to break down the Texas Hill Country. They cover year-round demand patterns, typical price bands, and how “Instagrammable” design and simple amenities (pools, hot tubs, outdoor spaces) help listings stand out. They also compare regulations across submarkets and why past rental histories often understate upside due to weak management and photos.
