Prairie View in Frisco Update with American Legend Homes, Highland Homes and David Weekley Homes


 

Prairie View Frisco

Prairie View in Frisco entrance.

 Prairie View in Frisco is a 163.5 acre new home community with current award-winning builders American Legend Homes, Highland Hones and David Weekley homes.
  Prairie View in Frisco opened around November 2015 and they are selling homes like crazy! Normally, when any community opens in the winter months the pace is extremely slow even in a good housing market.  This is NOT the case here!

  I’m pretty sure that location, amenities, affordability and luxury builders have a lot to do with the demand here. So let’s run through these for Prarie View in Frisco. 
  Prairie View is located North on Coit Road right after Panther Creek. I would say it’s around 10 minutes North of Highway 121 and maybe 7 minutes to Dallas North Tollroad.  Also, amenities such as grocery stores, gas stations and restaurants are also around 6 minutes away in a couple different directions.  
 Prairie View boasts it’s 4,500 square foot amenity center dubbed the “The Prairie House.” Along with a fantastic park and playground, The Prairie House has an outdoor fireplace, resort style pool with a tanning ledge, underwater bench and a splash pad for the little ones. 

  It’s ideal for anyone wanting to get away from the daily routine of our busy lifes.  
 Prairie View also has “pocket parks” throughout the community along with winding trails designed for jogging, biking and casual strolls. There is also acres of green belts for practices or pick up sports games! 

  The community is set up in Phase 1 (which they are currently in), and Phase 2a and 2b. Highland Homes and David Weekley Homes currently have the 55 wide lots and  American Legend Homes has the larger 65 foot wide lots.  
 All 3 builders are easily in the top 10 for builders in DFW and have been there for a while. Looking at the lot size and each builders prices based on square feet, to me the larger lots at a lower base price seems to be a better deal with American Legend Homes with what they include in their base price. 

 Also, American Legend Homes is the only builder that is “semi-custom.” What that means is they will allow some small modifications, when pretty much every builder in this price point will NOT allow modifications.  

 But overall, Highland Homes and David Weekley Homes have their advantages but they are just not leading at Prairie View in pricing.  

 In the first Phase for American Legend, they have a total of 73 lots and have sold 20 as of yesterday, so some of the prime lots are still available. Highland and David Weekley do have a couple left that would be considered oversized or premium as well looking at their available lots. 

  
For more on Prairie View in Frisco text or call Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723. American Legend, Highland and David Weekley all build beautiful homes and my clients always have great things to say about them!

And don’t forget to ask me about how I can save you thousands at contract with price reductions, additional amenities, lot premiums, closing costs or cash back rebates that you will not receive if you don’t use a realtor. Ask the builder before you sign!

Inspiration Development in St Paul (Wylie) has some serious Potential for an Amazing Community by Lake Lavon!


  Inspiration Development in St Paul, Texas truly has what most people are looking for in today’s hot housing market! Located right on the border of Wylie, Inspiration is a new community in St Paul, Texas situated on 593 acres adjacent to the historic town of St Paul. 

   
 In the pictures above, you notice the proximity to major highways like 75 and George Bush is a big appeal for new homeowners. And the fact it is situated almost a half mile a way from boat docks to Lake Lavon, really will fill a void to many out of towners or relocations when making their final decisions on where to purchase. (Lake Lavon is one of the largest lakes in Texas!) 

There is also a 32 mile hike and bike trail around Lake Lavon which will be easily accessed by Inspiration home owners! 

  Inspiration truly might have the most beautiful drive up with an entry, waterfall sign that at night has laser beams shooting out of it! And the two large ponds with a beautiful greenish blue water also help differentiate this development from any other in the North DFW area. 
  

One very unique feature that everyone will notice is Inspirations 86 foot span of distinctive metal arches and stone pillars! (Which also has laser beams!) 

  

Inspiration plans to have a 10,000 square foot resort style community center that will feature multiple pools, a bath house, outdoor pavilion, playground and open play fields. It is planned only 300 feet from Lake Lavon to capture beautiful Lake Views!

  In a way, it looks like they plan to incorporate a lot of Windsong Ranch look with the buildings and blow Richwoods out of the water with the size of that Pool! I am also told there will be multiple pools throughout Inspiration. 
  WOW!
   
 Inspiration will have an on site Elementary School named George W. Bush Elementary that is already underway and will fall within the Wylie School District. (See below)

  Currently Inspiration will be at Akin Elementary, Bill F. David Intermediate, McMillan Junior High and Wylie East High School. 
  Current plans for Inspiration is a buildout of 1,400 homes. That’s VERY big! Currently, they are in Phase 1 but towards the end of available lots! 

  Here’s a very important part, THE BUILDERS!

I am pretty impressed with the line up that Huffines Development put together for Inspiration. 

  
You have some very important builders like K Hovnanian Homes (KHOV), Highland Homes and Meritage Homes in the section with standard lots at 60 wide by 130 deep! 

Highland Homes has around 15 spec homes in different stages that plan to be ready in various upcoming months. 

  

All 3 builders first purchased 40 lots and are almost completely out! 

  And those are some pretty deep lots for that price point! Which means backyards will all be a very nice size! 
  Then on the larger homesites you have Saxony Homes (Basically Shaddock Hones) and a newcomer Mercury Homes. 
  Saxony Homes (Shaddock Homes) brings it at usual, showing why they have a corner on the luxury market with their design and floor plans. 
  The larger lots are located to the left as you enter from the Parker entrance. 

  
For all of you State Farm relos, Inspiration couldn’t be a better fit with its location and amenities to the new headquarters! You should definitely take a look! 

   
    
    
    
 

“NOW . . . for my clients that purchase a new home in Inspiration, I will not only get them the bottom dollar deal whether it’s a spec home or build job, but I will also contribute $7,000 of my commission for you to use for a price reduction, closing costs, additional upgrades or cash at closing!”   
You will not find a better deal out there from any other realtor! My connections run deep when negotiating and the builder will not give you a better deal if you do not use a realtor. ASK THEM! 

Text or call Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723 if you plan to write a contract at Inspiration or have questions about Inspiration, the builders or any other community in DFW.

Wow, Castle Hills Northeast by American Legend Homes and Highland Homes is setting records!


  Castle Hills in my mind was pretty much sold out of lots and new homes, until Castle Hills Northeast popped up in an incredible location off of 121. 

  Zoom in and notice the pizza shape parcel right off the highway in an incredible location, that is Castle Hills Northeast. American Legend and Highland homes were the builders selected to open the community. 

   

   Castle Hills Northeast is setting records in demand and sells for a couple reasons. First off, two of the highest quality builders which will create a beautiful looking neighborhood. Location, right off 121 and in between all kinds of conveniences. And #3, PRICE. Homes start in the low $300’s!!!! Which is unheard of in a location like this in this market. 

  Castle Hills consists of 375 total homes and 250 are American Legends. 125 are Highland Homes. The HOA per year is only $700 which includes the community pool that is currently under construction below. Pay another $100, and residents will have access to all 5 pools within Castle Hills! 

  For American Legend since November, they pre sold 30 homes and had to shut down sales in December and January to catch up with demand. They have sold a total of 60 since opening up sales again in February. See price list below:

  

They do offer 41 feet lots but the salesperson Greg Cook says that the waiting list for those homes is the longest he has seen. 

   

  

For Highland Homes, same scenario. They started later than American Legend and have already sold 56! 

It’s the craziest community I have seen since Richwoods. 

   


 Currently, American Legend offers $10,000 buyer incentive and $3,000 towards closing costs if you use their lender. Highland offers a 5% buyer incentive. 

   

For more on Castle Hills Northeast or American Legend or Highland Homes, text or call Brad Holden today for lot availability or any other questions. 

“Also ask about the best buyer rebate if you use Brad Holden as your representative when you purchase a home in this community or any other new home community.”

The Reserve at Lawler Park in Frisco shows Strong sales by both Darling and Highland Homes in their Final Phase


IMG_1706

Since September of 2014, Darling Homes and Highland Homes have SOLD 46 homes in the Final Phase of the Preserve at Lawler Park in Frisco!

IMG_1704

Not shockingly though. This is 2015 in Frisco, Texas.

Lawler Park, Richwoods, Phillips Creek Ranch and a couple other new developments in Frisco have been out of control with both sales on new builds and spec homes.

IMG_1702

The third phase of Lawler Park called the Reserve does by far have the best lots tucked in the back Northern portion of the community between huge beautiful mature trees with a walking trail leading to one of Frisco’s beautiful parks.

IMG_1705

There are some great lot opportunities still available by both Darling and Highland Homes. The current buyers incentives (as of today) are Darling has $20,000 for design upgrades and Highland has 5% of the total price. Incentives can change daily.

IMG_1703

Lawler Park by far is one of my favorite opportunities in Frisco and still see it as a great option looking to capitalize on the location and amenities that Lawler Park has to offer.

IMG_1707

If you are looking at purchasing a home at Lawler Park in Frisco text or call Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723 to learn how to recurve the highest cash back rebate in Frisco!

Lawler Park in Frisco releases highly sought after Phase 3 Lots for Darling Homes and Highland Homes!


It’s not every day in Frisco you can find Cul De Sac oversized lots by large mature trees and a creek, but today in Lawler Park you can!

20140715-094104-34864498.jpg

The Plat above is Phase 3 of Lawler Park in Frisco. There are a total of 75 Lots which have been split up with Highland Homes having 38 and Darling Homes selling 37. Highlands lots are in yellow and Darlings are in Blue.

20140715-094523-35123184.jpg

Standard Size for Phase 3 is 75 wide by 125 deep. Highland is Pre-Selling and Darling is projected to start their pre-sales next month since Darling is rolling out a new line of plans!

20140715-094647-35207140.jpg

Currently in the Arbors section, Darling only has 3 available lots to build on and 3 inventory homes, then the Arbors will be SOLD OUT!

20140715-094753-35273592.jpg

In the Crossing Section, Darling only has 2 lots to build on in Phase 2 and 6 Inventory Homes. Buyer incentive is $25,000 for options currently.

In the new Phase 3, expect a hefty price jump for lot cost and some over the top lot premiums for 5 to 10 of the new lots. And they will be worth every penny if you ask me!

20140715-095022-35422365.jpg

Light Farms in Celina Spring Home Tour for Realtors and Update on the Community


20140408-123849.jpg

Light Farms in Celina is Rockin’ and Rollin!

The community opened with a total of 6 builders including Shaddock Homes, American Legend, Darling Homes, Drees Homes, Lionsgate Homes and the most recently announced Highland Homes.

20140408-124408.jpg

Sales started last year around July of 2013 and to my amazement, there are a total of about 121 contracts! That is much higher than I anticipated with the location and how long it takes for a community to get up and running.

They also have a total of 19 available homes that are available from now through the month of October!

20140408-124557.jpg

All Realtors were invited out today for a model home tour that was ultimately a progressive lunch through each model. It started out at the information center above where they gave us a packet to get stamped through our journey.

20140408-124755.jpg

The appetizers started at Bluestem at the American Legend model and the Lions Gate model. American Legend is dominating on the 50 by 115 lots! They are almost sold out of the first phase and will have to wait for the next phase of lots.

20140408-124958.jpg

20140408-125013.jpg

Lions Gate is not to far behind as you can see below.

20140408-125051.jpg

Next we ventured to Drees and Darling Homes. They also were selling very well. Darling told me that they have 4 contracts to write this week alone!

20140408-125216.jpg

20140408-125237.jpg

20140408-125256.jpg

20140408-125309.jpg

20140408-125325.jpg

Here they served us the lunch portion and filled us in on sales and incentives.

20140408-125412.jpg

And at our last model home we ventured to Shaddock in the Grange Section of Light Farms.

20140408-125511.jpg

Key Lime Pie was served and they have also Sold a tremendous amount of homes for the price point in the $500’s!!!

20140408-125609.jpg

Then we all met back up at the Light Farms Information Center for drawings and some great prizes!

20140408-130803.jpg

20140408-131033.jpg

But here is why Light Farms really matters!

20140408-125758.jpg

You can see the location in Red. If you follow the Tollroad directly South to the intersection of Highway 380 and North Dallas Tollroad, you will see three developments that are approved and well underway! This alone will start a tremendous amount of growth in the North sector and will ultimately create a new destination for buyers to choose from with Windsong Ranch also a mile away from the development.

20140408-130046.jpg
