		<description><![CDATA[We recently started doing some renovation work on a home our client acquired for $2.5M. Just a few years ago that same home appraised for approximately $5 million. "Wow, things in Austin are worse than I thought," you might say. Well, not really. What happened is that the original builder neglected to install the proper flashing and waterproofing, so what started out as a beautiful $5M home, soon lost half of its value when the underlying water damage began to surface (see photo of removed window sash below). The home sat vacant for several years, and during that time, it's value steadily plummeted. As It turns out that there isn't much demand for a $5M leaky, moldy, rotting home.
