K Hovnanian Homes (KHOV) at Diamond Point Estates in Frisco Specs out remaining 11 lots to Start Close-Out! 

Jun12

 It feels like yesterday when K Hovnanian Homes (KHOV) opened Diamond Point Estates in Frisco, and now they are beginning Close-Out?  Wow! That was fast. 

Granted, the community has a total of only 51 Lots but is in an incredible location just East of Park Place Estates and directly across from the future Grand Park. Not to mention, right next to The Canals at Grand Park which is just North of Diamond Point. 

  Why does Diamond Point matter? 

The location directly off of Legacy and nearly halfway between Cotton Gin and Stonebrook gives residents east access to the Dallas Notth Tollroad. Stonebrook FINALLY has plans to open to the Tollroad towards the end of this year. 

  At Diamond Point, there are currently 18 homes that have already CLOSED out of the 51 homesites. A total of 39 have been SOLD which leaves the 11 that they have already Spec-ed out with Inventory homes, due to the incredible demand. 

AND, there is one North Lot available as of TODAY! “Text or call me ASAP if you are in the market for a North Facing Lot!”

  The spec homes that have various months of completion.  The first are projected to be ready for move in by September. And the pics above show my personal favorite, by far, the Westhaven Plan. 

This plan has it all. With 4 Bedrooms, a Study, 4.5 Bathrooms, Gameroom, Media Room and a 3 Car Garage. It flows well and has a two story entry and family room. My clients can most likely get a $43,000 discount if they use me as their realtor. 

  If you are looking for a new home in Frisco and haven’t visited Diamond Point, you definitely should this weekend. Close-Out is always a good time to buy and here is your chance. 

“Text or Call Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723 if you have any questions or are looking for a highly sought after North Facing lot in Frisco!”

And don’t forget to ask Brad about his Buyer Rebate for clients that will save you around an ADDITIONAL $17,500 on some of the Spec Homes here at Diamond Point! That’s a total of around $61,500 that I can get as a discount if you like Diamond Point and K Hovnanian Homes!!!!

Emerald Homes enters Arbors of Willow Bay in Frisco, Texas

May21

 Emerald Homes started selling in the Arbors at Willow Bay in Frisco at the end of 2014. Emerald Homes is the “High End” of DR Horton Homes.   

 

DR Horton is a big land owner in this area and they sold this piece of land to Hillwood with a caveat stating that they could at any time purchase lots if they wished. So after seeing how extremely successful Highland Homes and American Legend Homes were in the first two phases, they decided to take the remaining 102 lots for themselves. 

  The majority of Emerald Homes lots are 70 feet wide with a small percentage being 64 foot wide.  Currently they have sold 19 and have 8-10 specs in different stages. 
  I was at first a little concerned with Emerald coming in, but boy was I wrong! The model home is called the Winslow and has an incredible flow while walking through the home.  
 Emerald Homes have included step ups and step downs throughout the house that really helps their plans stand out from other builders.  

 Their standards already included are truly not standard with other builders such as a stone fireplace, engineered marble surrounding the tub in the master, and countertop to ceiling mirrors in master and secondary bathrooms!

   
   I was very surprised that the closets looked like this compared to the other builders closets only consisting of rods, some shelves and trim. 

   
    And the upstairs is definitely a kids oasis with the option of this incredible balcony off the back.  

 Emerald currently is offering a $20,000 incentive for upgrades on a new build and $5,000 for closing costs if you choose their lender. On the specs I am pretty sure I can get you a better deal if the timing is better for you. 

 If you are looking in Frisco currently, definitely consider Emerald Homes at the Arbors at Willow Bay. 

“And don’t forget to ask about my 4% Total Rebate for my clients that purchase an Emerald Home at the Arbors of Willow Bay!”

Toll Brothers at Richwoods in Frisco has one premium lot come back on the market this morning!!!

Mar2

This morning I was in the Toll Brothers Model at Richwoods in Frisco and the salesperson told me that this lot has just come back on the market. 



It is one of my favorite locations backing to the open beautiful park at Richwoods Glen. The original buyers contracted a while ago bout the floor plan they chose cannot fit in the lot so this is a great opportunity for someone to get a premium lot in Richwoods with Toll Brothers. 

The best part is the prices will still be the same and not be the higher ones that will start in the newer section many months from now. So above are the surrender prices and the lot has a $20,000 premium on it (which I can easily get you a better price on). 

Any of the plans above can be built it just depends on what elevation will work. 

My best guess on the new Toll Brothers Lots and pricing will most likely be $25,000 more than what you see here due to the lot cost and demand. 

For more on this Toll Brothers lot at Richwoods Lot in Frisco text or call Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723.

MainVue Homes at Phillips Creek Ranch (Henley Park) in Frisco opens on March 7th!

Feb27



This title should say, “Uptown Dallas moves to Frisco!”

MainVue Homes is the newest and Hottest thing in the Real Estate market here in Frisco today! Wow! For my 11 years of selling new homes here in Frisco, I have never seen anything like this product. 



The location in Phillips Creek Ranch that MainVue Homes is building is their own section called Henley Park. The standard lot size is 65 wide by 120 deep. There are 6 model homes to walk through as well! And that is amazing!!!



The best part of the models though is EVERYTHING YOU SEE IS STANDARD! The uniqueness of their Italian wood and different doors, trim, cabinets, flooring and handles will blow your mind. They for sure will not appeal to everyone, but they really have a niche with a particular buyer, I promise! 





The owner, Peter Hayes, is a great guy and definitely Australian with his accent. Great concept and is incorporating a little Texas in their models! 





Most local homebuilders use familiar options of design details, brick and stone exteriors and historically inspired styles.

MainVue brings a range of contemporary houses that aren’t stuck in the past.

Henley Properties’ owns MainVue Homes and they will for sure cause a stir building houses that have clean lines and lots of open space inside and that use modern materials including exotic woods and ceramic tiles.





The more I think about it people today are staying in modern hotels and eating in modern restaurants. So why not come home to the same thing?

MainVue, which in the last two years has built hundreds of houses in the Seattle, has purchased locations for its first three housing communities in Frisco and McKinney.

They told me last night that their next location planned is Houston. 





My thought is younger professionals in particular are bored with the standard new home offerings most local builders provide and MainVue has an answer. 

MainVue Homes got their start in the late 1980s in Australia and is partly owned by Japan’s Sumitomo Forestry Group, has been careful to not overdo the shift to contemporary.

The designs use a combination of brick, stucco and glass and will have lower rooflines than most new houses in the area.







They hosted a Realtor event last night and really took care of us! The pricing is around the mid $600’s and square feet ranges from 3,300 to around 4,500. The buyer incentive is $30,000. 

For more on MainVue Homes at Phillips Creek Ranch in Frisco text or call Brad Holden at (469) 733-2723 for more information. 

And for the grand opening I will offer clients an extra $15,000 for additional upgrades or closing costs.

K Hovnanian Homes (KOHV) at Richwoods in Frisco taking Lot Holds on Phase 22 TODAY!

Feb25

Only a month ago, it was thought that K Hovnanian Homes (KHOV) at Richwoods in Frisco was down to their last homes to ever be built there, but things change daily in real estate. 

K Hovnanian has been given 25 lots to sell in the newest Phase 22. KHOV has started to take lots holds just 2 days ago and already have 7 Lot Holds on these new lots! A lot hold consists of $500. 



Considering the high demand of new lots, I am almost 100% sure both th e developer and builder will increase prices since there has not been an increase in almost 2 months! The prices for the plans are currently below. 



The one big opportunity for buyers is the remaining 2 inventory homes in the previous phase which are in different stages of development. The plans are the Timberglen and the Oakview 3.  See below:





With K Hovnanians President Sale going on, I can absolutely get you a bottom line price on either of these two homes. I could get you to around $585,000 and $575,000 on these houses. 

And here is the big advantage! 

In phase 22, the minimum I am guessing of the prices going up will be $20,000 on just the base price! Not including lot premiums or elevation costs. 



So buying one of these inventory homes will put you at around a $30,000 advantage considering the equity!

Regardless, if any of my clients choose a lot hold on a Phase 22 or have already chosen to hold a lot, not only will I negotiate you the bottom line price but will offer you the highest rebate from a broker at also around $22,500 that you can use toward additional upgrades, closing costs or to reduce the price! 



Call or Text Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723 for more information on K Hovnanian Home at Richwoods in Frisco or any other new home community in the area.

BREAKING NEWS: Baxter Brinkmann of Brinkmann Ranch in Frisco FINALLY sells his first tract of land to Landon Development!

Feb23

IMG_2158

It’s confirmed, Baxter Brinkmann of Frisco, who owns over 5,500 acres in Collin County has FINALLY sold his first tract of land to Landon Development at the corner of Eldorado and Coit!

IMG_2151

The land is 182.4479 Acres and has been assessed at $20,705,637 by Collin County as its value in 2014. The purchase price for the land is undisclosed, but I’m pretty sure it’s more than that!

Landon Development began their first development in 2012 with RICHWOODS in Frisco off of Independence and Rolater. They really knocked it out of the Park with Richwoods considering it was the #1 selling development in the nation last year!!!

IMG_2212

RICHWOODS in Frisco is a 500 Acre development that was originally planned for 1,600 homes. That number will rise to around 1,700 homes or more because of a smaller product that was introduced after the development started.

IMG_2157

Now back to Brinkmann Ranch. This piece of land has a lot of history, but most notably, as the site where the first 5 episodes of the famous show “Dallas” were filmed in 1978, until the original house burned down.

Baxter Brinkmann is the CEO of the Brinkmann Corporation, maker of Outdoor Grills, flashlights, many other consumer and industrial products, and the owner of Brinkmann Ranch. The Brinkmann Corporation brings in well over $125 million in annual sales.

IMG_1933-0

On the new land, plans are for the 182.4479 acres to be a GATED COMMUNITY! This will be the 2nd gated community for Landon Development in Frisco.

IMG_2213

On the preliminary plat, plans are for 704 homes and two entrances. One entrance off of Coit and the other off of Eldorado. Sales should begin at the beginning of 2016 or possibly a little later.

IMG_2153

Thank you Baxter Brinkmann for finally allowing the exceptional growth of Frisco to continue with a great location and great visionaries in Landon Development. I’m sure they will make another outstanding development here in Frisco.
