The Austin Board of REALTORS® was presented an award recognizing its contribution to the 2000 Coats for Kids effort. Supplying 224 coats, ABoR was among the top three organizations to bring coats to the needy in the Austin community this winter season.

"The role the Austin Board of REALTORS®  played in our effort is greatly appreciated," said leigh Simmons, 2000 Coats for Kids Chair.

Chaired by Leonard Guerrero, of JBGoodwin REALTORS® the ABoR community service committee included Coats for Kids in their community efforts as a means to bring warmth to children during the winter months.

More than 23,000 coats were collected by the Coats for Kids program, making the 2000 effort the most successful effort in the 14 years the program has been in place.

Drum roll please! JB Goodwin REALTORS® is pleased to present the Austin MLS® leasing stats for December 2018.

Supply is up slightly as the market slows for the holiday season, but is still outpaced by Demand. Demand is up 4% this year, compared to 10% in 2017. It's still a great time to lease out that property; JB Goodwin can get your listing filled 3 days faster than the market average!

Key stats to look out for:

• Total leases & home leases are up, 4% & 5% respectively
• Leased properties & single-family home leases are both down 13%
• The median rental for a single-family home is $1,750, or $1.15 per square foot
