Wow! Newcastle Homes in Richwoods in Frisco


20130612-090640.jpg

Newcastle Homes at Richwoods in Frisco is selling like crazy!!!

Out of their 31 lots in the Country and the Landing, as of today only 2 of the lots are not spoken for. The others are either closed, sold or on hold. See below.

20130612-090934.jpg

Why is Newcastle selling so well? It’s simple.

Newcastle Homes has been around for many years in DFW. They have seen the ups and downs. They get it.

They also know what the buyer wants and have accommodated my clients wishes as best as they can.

20130612-091208.jpg

And they are by far the no-nonsense builder in Richwoods. Their prices have always been higher but they include the upgrades, wants and needs that you will be including with Toll Brothers or John Landon Signature Series.

They build a beautiful Porte Cochere plan that just makes sense. They build in the 4,200 to 5,200 range and normally include 5 bedrooms and always 3 car garages.

Board on board 8 foot fence – standard. Upgraded Landscaping Package – Standard. And on and on and on.

They definitely have a Texas exterior and it works!!! They are also building a stucco product and it as well works.

Update on Richwoods Amenity Center, Pool and Playground


20130525-143010.jpg

Richwoods Amenity Center in Frisco is 97% complete! The landscaping is almost completely in and the interior is amazing! It has plans to open early summer!!!

20130525-143149.jpg

First the entry for Richwoods Amenity center opens to a beautiful foyer with arches and a great combination of tile and stone. There is a flat screen that welcomes you with a large information center to the left about Richwoods.

20130525-143359.jpg

20130525-143430.jpg

To the right you will enter the 4,000 square foot work-out facility with lockers, and two large rooms for individual classes.

20130525-143553.jpg

20130525-143615.jpg

20130525-143635.jpg

But what really impresses me is to the left. You walk into a large beautiful open room that boasts a Texas sized fireplace, bar area and cathedral ceilings with rows of lighting right above your head!

20130525-143829.jpg

The cedar beams really give it character and the stone on the walls make it feel both new and luxurious.

20130525-143943.jpg

20130525-144006.jpg

The plans are residents can rent this room and another out for parties or gatherings for a nominal fee. I can’t wait!

20130525-144116.jpg

The resort style pools slide is almost complete and looks to be both fun and safe for the kiddos.

The pool was being filled up today and looks great!

20130525-144249.jpg

The Playground that is adjacent to the pool is up and after the big rain last night, they are waiting to add the wood chips until they level out the mud. Again, great for the kids.

20130525-144437.jpg

There are two sections for younger kids and larger toddlers.

20130525-144529.jpg

20130525-144606.jpg

All builders are continuing to sell strong and raise prices. On June 1st there will be a rise on price for lumber so I am sure the prices will continue to rise.

Landon Homes in Richwoods Hollow has sold 5 of their first 7 that have been released as of yesterday. They have plans that begin in the $360’s for around 2,900 square feet.

They have a $3,000 additional incentive through Memorial Day if you are ready to pull the trigger this weekend.

Richwoods Landing and Country picking up Steam


20130127-151433.jpg

CONGRATULATIONS to the Johnson’s who are the 2nd closing in Richwoods Landing in Frisco!

Richwoods in Frisco is exploding in both sales and closings since March of 2012 when the builders started selling homes.

The two larger lot sections, The Landing and The Country, were the last lots to get the green light through the city of Frisco and were delayed 3 to 4 months behind Richwoods Place and Richwoods Glen.

It might sound weird that there has only been 2 closings so far, but wait until the end of March. It looks like there might be close to 10. And I know for sure there will be 5 because they are my clients.

The country is actually pretty close to the same numbers as the Landing. The Country now has a total of 3 closings but will have close to 8 or 10 by March.

The builders in The Country are John Landon Signature Series, Toll Brothers and Newcastle Homes. What surprises me the most is that out of those 11 to 14 homes, 6 will close at more than $800,000!!!! I was not expecting that at all, but an very happy to see it!!!

For more info about Richwoods in Frisco or any of the builders Toll Brothers, KHOV (K Hovnanian) Landon Homes, John Landon Signature Series or Newcastle Homes call Brad Holden at (469) 733-2723.

20130127-152711.jpg

“And do not forget to ask Brad about his 4% Total Rebate that he provides his clients when purchasing a new home in Richwoods.”

Brad also is offering the rebate program for Lawler Park in Frisco, Phillips Creek Ranch in Frisco and The Arbors at Willow Bay in Frisco.

And don’t forget about Richwoods Hollow that will start in the low $300’s and will be opening in the next couple months. Call me today to be placed on my client waiting list to be called the day the new section opens!

A look inside Richwoods amenity center in Frisco


Richwoods in Frisco will not slow down!!! And a major reason is this one of a kind amenity center that the developer has brilliantly architected up and is delivering at the beginning of the community and not the end.

20130126-180017.jpg

Every community that boasts a workout facility cannot compare to this over 4,000 square foot area below. The two rooms at the back (I am guessing) will be rooms for classes or a specific type of machines.

20130126-181714.jpg

The one thing that will make the Richwoods amenity center stand out for residents is the banquet rooms. Each room will be available to residents to book or events or parties at a very reasonable price. The room in the back will also be able to open to the beautiful pool that will be an excellent backdrop for the gathering.

20130126-182025.jpg

The pool will speak for itself. From the road, it does not look that big. But the picture below is only half of it. The company that installed the pool made a comment that it is the largest they have ever built in North Texas.

20130126-182231.jpg

This with a beautiful stone exterior with the many parking spots available and the shower and bathrooms for the pool will most likely make Richwoods the dominant new home community in Frisco.

For more info about Richwoods in Frisco or any of the builders Toll Brothers, KHOV (K Hovnanian) Landon Homes, John Landon Signature Series or Newcastle Homes call Brad Holden at (469) 733-2723.

And don’t forget about Richwoods Hollow that will start in the low $300’s and will be opening in the next couple months. Call me today to be placed on my client waiting list to be called the day the new section opens!

John Landon Signature Series Richwoods


20121024-125255.jpg

Today, Hot On Homes and The John R Landon Signature Series hosted A realtor event that had around 100 realtors present.

They catered La Hacienda Ranch and talked about available lots, plans and pricing. The highlight was mentioning the new phase that currently opened in The Country in Richwoods.

20121024-125324.jpg

There are some oversized lots still available, but not many. The overall reaction was very positive with many of the realtors already selling homes to their clients in Richwoods.

20121024-125451.jpg

They gave away gift cards to restaurants and an iPad!

Richwoods goes with Pyramid Stones to top off stone posts


20120816-210814.jpg

Richwoods dropped off many pyramid stone tops to complete the ring roads wall. At first it looked odd the stone larger end posts, but now it completes the look.

20120816-211022.jpg

There will also be smaller stone posts like seen above in Richwoods Place that will allow residents to access the ring road jogging path. This is a very creative way, I must say, the the Richwoods development has a leg up on the other Frisco master planned communities.

20120816-211306.jpg

And lastly, if you haven’t seen the new John Landon Signature Series Model, go tomorrow! It should be 100% complete with one of the most beautiful designed model I have ever seen! It’s amazing!

Lastly. If you have a lot hold with a Richwoods builder and are about to contract, don’t leave thousands on the table by not using my 4% Total Rebate Incentive until the 20th of this month!
