Haunted Georgetown, TX: The Real History, The Rumors, and the Realtor’s Take

If you’ve ever walked Georgetown’s historic square after dark, you already know — there’s something about this town. The lights glow a little softer, the wind feels a little cooler, and the whispers of Texas history come alive in every limestone wall.
And with over a century of stories, Georgetown has earned its reputation as one of Central Texas’s most charming — and haunted — small towns.
Let’s separate the rumors from the real hauntings and sprinkle in a little realtor insight while we’re at it.

The Old Williamson County Jail (1889)
If any building has earned its ghostly street cred, it’s the Old Williamson County Jail on Main Street. Built in 1889, this stone fortress has seen everything — from outlaws and murderers to one very infamous inmate, Henry Lee Lucas, in the 1980s.
Today, locals and visitors alike say the air feels heavy around it at night. Some eve ...

Tanya Kerr of T. Kerr Property Group Featured on Fox 7 Austin Discussing Central Texas’ Shifting Real Estate Market

Austin, TX - October 23, 2025

Tanya Kerr, top-producing real estate expert and founder of T. Kerr Property Group, was featured on Fox 7 Austin in a recent segment titled “Austin Is a Top Buyer’s Market.” The October 23 broadcast spotlighted the growing opportunities for buyers across Central Texas, as the Austin area transitions firmly into a buyer’s market.
According to Unlock MLS September 2025 data, active listings climbed 10% year-over-year to 13,665 homes, and the median sales price dipped 1.8% to $420,000. Homes are averaging 76 days on market with 5.7 months of inventory, all strong indicators that buyers now hold leverage in negotiations.
“Our market is definitely behaving like a buyer's market” said Tanya Kerr. “Buyers have tremendous opportunity right now - there’s inventory to choose from, room to negotiate, and the ability to secure repairs or concessions that simply weren’t possible in the past. I believe years f ...

Hook ’em Horns and welcome back to school, Austin!

Whether you’re a proud Longhorn, an Austin transplant, or just a trivia junkie, the University of Texas has been keeping things interesting since the 1800s. From live steer mascots to color wars over orange, UT is more than just a campus—it’s a treasure trove of quirky history.
Let’s dive into 6 fun, fascinating facts about UT Austin that make it such an iconic part of our city.
 

 
1. UT's First Day Was… Kind of Unfinished
When UT officially opened in September 1883, the building wasn’t even finished yet. Classes kicked off in a half-built structure on a grassy hill—where the famous UT Tower now stands. Talk about humble beginnings!
 

 
2. Bevo May Be the Face, But the OG Mascot Was a Dog Named Pig

Navigating Divorce and Real Estate: Why Your Agent May Also Become a Witness

At T. Kerr Property Group, we help people through all transitions of life—and that includes divorce. When a marriage ends, there are already so many decisions to make. Adding the sale of a shared property on top of it all can feel like a pressure cooker, especially if both parties aren’t fully aligned on how to move forward.
One aspect that most people don’t anticipate? Your real estate agent can sometimes become a witness in your divorce proceedings.
That’s right. From time to time, I’m called to provide testimony about market value, condition, or the sale process of a home during a divorce. These are moments when neutrality, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the legal landscape matter a lot. We’re not just selling a house—we’re often managing high emotions, legal mandates, and timelines that are tied up in the court system.
Let me share a recent example. I represented a divorcing couple where the decree re ...

Enrollment in Flux: How Slowing Home Sales and Demographic Shifts Could Reshape Round Rock ISD

When the housing market slows, the impact goes far beyond real estate — it reaches into classrooms. In a recent Community Impact article, T. Kerr Property Group shared insight into how Round Rock ISD’s enrollment future is now uncertain due to slowing home sales and demographic changes. Home sales within the district have dropped by nearly half over the past three years, despite ongoing new construction. That drop matters because school enrollment projections are closely tied to home sales. Read the full article here.
 

 
What the Data Shows


Home Sales Decline: Despite many new homes being built, fewer are selling. Closings and active listings have shifted dramatically, reducing the expected influx of families with school-aged children.


Projected Enrollment Scenarios: Zonda, a demographics research firm, outlines three possible paths by 2034-35:



Enrollment declines by ~1,061 students.


Enrollment stays steady or rises moderately.
