Frisco Fires in Grayhawk turn out to be 2 Sumeer Homes and a Newmark Home


20130722-214331.jpg

Two of the homes that were caught on fire in Frisco were Sumeer Homes and the other was a Pre-owned Newmark Home in the Grayhawk community in the past couple weeks.

Grayhawk is the farthest West in the city of Frisco. It borders Little Elm with highway 423 as the line. This on top of the amount of investment properties that were purchased at the very beginning of the development make Grayhawk as number 1 on my Bottom 10 Frisco Neighborhoods

Now add possible arson to the list? One car and three homes? Well, it hasn’t been proven but sure looks like it.

Here is how the events have taken place:

20130722-215449.jpg

On May 23rd a car was reported set on fire on West Talon Lane. Three days later the first Sumeer Home on Viola Lane was on fire.

A little time passed then on June 8th the other Sumeer Home a couple houses down has caught on fire. Then on July 21st, a Pre-owned home on Burr Oak was vacant and for sell by Ebby Halliday realtors.

And to think that people are choosing to sell their homes and looking to move into a gated community speaks exactly to what I have been explaining regarding Richwoods.

Best Deal in Frisco today is in Lawler Park!


20130721-155117.jpg

Above is 7660 Arches Drive built by Darling Homes in Lawler Park in Frisco. It is a 7450, 5 bedroom/4.5 bath home that is not only available for move in today, but is by far the best deal in Frisco!

20130721-155402.jpg

It has everything that you need/want! A 3 car garage, outdoor patio that includes a fireplace and gourmet chefs kitchen with stainless Steele appliances.

20130721-155705.jpg

The list price is $585,990. This is before the decision to add more landscaping in the front and to also add 4 Live Oaks in the backyard.

My best guess is they are willing to sell around 10-12% off list price. This is unheard of in this market and for a new home built by Darling in Frisco!

That makes it the best deal for a home ready to move in today!

And add in my rebate and you will buy with a $90,000 equity position! This is a great deal!

For more info call or text Brad Holden at (469) 733-2723.

American Legend increases prices $4,000 in every community in DFW


20130719-131632.jpg

This is almost becoming a standard in DFW with residential home builders.

I was told the increase is in response to the higher cost of supplies, labor, land and demand. It does make sense to an extent but my clients that purchased an American Legend home at The Arbors of Willow Bay in Frisco in February have seen the base price go up $30,000 before this increase!

20130719-132151.jpg

Granted, the market will allow for increases right now, but the low interest rates and 1 month supply of homes will go away and prices will stabilize. I do believe though that in Frisco prices will continue to increase until the end of 2014.

20130719-132451.jpg

There is just too much demand and with the new 8 communities that have opened and/or will open on a couple months in Frisco, this is still the place to be.

Wow! Darling Homes at Newman Village in Frisco!


20130713-225215.jpg

Darling Homes at Newman Village in Frisco has already sold 22 patio homes after opening.

20130713-225317.jpg

Newman Village in Frisco has been a very interesting community. The Newman Family owns the over 400 acres of land off of Eldorado Parkway and Legacy Drive. More importantly, it is less than 1 mile to the North Dallas Tollroad.

The plan was to develop the land as a residential community that focuses on the arts and has a completely different look and feel than every other development in Frisco. I also think they wanted to build a “Highland Park” look North of the city.

20130713-231025.jpg

One thing is true, they have spent the money on the development with the open areas, fountains and artwork by Massimo Pizzoleo who is an Italian-born artist that has his team helping with the art development and design.

The Newmans teamed up with the Darlings and started developing the community. At first, there were close to 7 different custom builders.

Everyone of those custom builders are gone and honestly it was all about timing. They started in probably the worst economic times. But it’s a goo thing the developer owned the land outright.

So they sat on it a while and now, BAM, Newman Village is Back!

20130713-231652.jpg

Considering that Newman Village is a gated community, the developers introduced a new patio home product that is selling out of control!

20130713-231837.jpg

Darling Homes has a total of 74 lots in the patio home section and they have already sold a total of 22 homes!

20130713-232004.jpg

The model for Darling Homes will make you say wow! It did for me!

A very normal entry opens to a very open kitchen and living is amazing. Then you enter an open sitting room before the Master. (Just go walk it, you will see!)

20130713-232303.jpg

Darling does have a couple lots with a negative premium, yes negative premium. So they will give you money instead of charging you!!!

20130713-232409.jpg

And another unique feature to Newman Village is their discovery center. They have a building that is 100% devoted to Art. It can be rented out for private events and has a kitchen and conference room for residents.

20130713-232720.jpg

Newman Village is back! I promise! It has seen a tremendous amount of sales and attention with the patio homes. But they are currently working on opening the next phase of luxury homes which plans to be ready by the beginning of 2014.

Richwoods Heights and Richwoods Crossing to be Newest Sections in 2014


20130711-235113.jpg

Two of the highly anticipated sections of Richwoods in Frisco have been named Richwoods Heights and Richwoods Crossing.

Richwoods Heights is a continuation of the Richwoods Glen product and Richwoods Meadows product with standard 74 foot wide by 120 deep.

BREAKING NEWS: Lennar Homes to build in Villages of Stonelake in Frisco


20130711-092826.jpg

It has been a long wait, but it looks like Lennar Homes will soon be selling in the Villages of Stonelake in Frisco.

20130711-092939.jpg

The community is almost directly across from the new Frisco High School Independence High School. It is on the eastern side of Independence between Eldorado and Main.

20130711-093132.jpg

Their model is well underway and looks around 45 days out. From what Lennar Homes has built in the past and considering the location and lot size, my best guess would be that the grand opening prices should be around the low $400’s.

20130711-093402.jpg

There is definitely a need for homes on this range since the recent jumps in all o the builders home prices and the 1.5 month supply of inventory on the ground in Frisco.

20130711-093543.jpg

Currently there are 82 lots with only Lennar announced but another builder could possibly come in as well.

Lennar Homes has told me that they will be contacting me as soon as the plans and pricing are released for sale in the upcoming weeks.

If you would like for me to place you on my waiting list for the info please call or text me your e-mail address at (469) 733-2723. I will also be offering my 4% Total Rebate for my clients that contract the first month after info is released.

20130711-093919.jpg

This will be a great opportunity to live in Frisco in the low $300’s and have an ideal location where all the growth is!

UPDATE: Lennar has started selling today! Click Here for more info!
