Every Veterans Day, NewsRadio KLBJ and Lamb’s Tire and Automotive call on our community to show their appreciation for our veterans. Over the past fifteen years, we’ve raised over $585,700 for U.S. soldiers and veterans in Central Texas. This year we will continue the tradition by partnering with Honor Flight Austin who has successfully and proudly taken over 2000 veterans to our Nation’s Capital to visit and experience the memorials built in their honor. With your help, resources are pooled together, experience is shared and alliances are formed throughout Austin to continue our noble cause to give these men and women a Trip of a Lifetime. Please plan to join us on Friday, November 11th at Lamb's Tire & Automotive as we broadcast from 5:30am to 6pm. DONATE DIRECTLY ➡️ bit.ly/3Up9BzX Without your support, this trip of a lifetime would not happen. You play a major part in honoring our Veterans!

Red Hot Austin Housing Market

The housing market will plateau soon according to the latest US housing data. New home sales in April fell almost 6%, more than analysts expected. Every region saw a decline except the West, which was up ~8%. The median price of a new home jumped 11.4% in April to $372,400. Those are connected. The number of homes for sale remains low, and expensive lumber and supply chain shortages are delaying new ones from being built. The backlog of new homes sold in April but awaiting construction rose 16.5%, the most since 2006, Bloomberg reports. Brought to you by Chris Watters - Watters International Realty
