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

Mar28

  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.

ANNOUNCING Lexington in Frisco – A New Gated Community with Shaddock Homes, K Hovnanian Homes (KHOV), Toll Brothers Homes and Landon Signature Series Homes

Sep2

 Lexington will be developed by Landon Development, the powerhouse developer behind Richwoods in Frisco off Of Independence. Landon acquired the approximate 173 acres earlier this year and have already submitted preliminary plats for Lexington with the city of Frisco. 

   

At the City of Frisco Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting on April 28th, 2015, the preliminary plat was being discussed concerning Phases 1-6. Commission members Bobby Roberts (Vice Chairperson) and Kevin Hodes (Commissioner) both voiced their concern on the majority North and South facing lots. 

They were disappointed wanting more appeal with “curvy” streets. But the developer had a very valid statement on a letter submitted earlier to the city regarding the direction by stating “major factor of North/South lot orientation with today’s energy conscientious consumer,” which is very true!

In that letter the developer states, “The current plan will offer 1.8 acres in open space and parks, including a highly amenitized club house with a wellness center and swimming pool, similar to Richwoods!”

Now that is awesome!

  

Lexington will be Gated with 3 gates, and initially start out with a total of 8 Phases and 634 lots. Landon Development did purchase another approximate 134 acres from Brinkmann in July of 2015 that most likely will be additional phases to Lexington. This new tract of land is located South of the current phases and continues down to Main Street. 

The developer has been in touch with FISD regarding a school site on the property and the location will be at the North East corner of Lexington. 

The surrounding land around Lexington on Coit Road and Eldorado Parkway, has been retained by Brinkmann for the current zoning of light retail. This is vital considering the amount of new homes being built in and around Lexington. Commercial normally comes after residential development. 

Phases and Lots in Lexington

  

Centrally located, Phases 1-6 will consist of 502 lots and broken into three different standard lot sizes. 140 lots will be in the 65 foot wide by 115 foot deep. 208 lots will be 70 foot wide by 100 foot deep. 154 lots will be 74 foot wide by 120 foot deep. There will always be irregular shaped lots in any community which will not fall within those dimensions. 

  
Phases 7 & 8 will be North of the first 6 phases and will consist of 132 lots split into 2 different standard lot sizes. 

  
They will continue with 77 lots that are standard 74 foot wide by 120 foot deep. The other 55 lots will be considered the luxury home lots at a standard 90 foot wide by 130 foot deep. 

Lexington Builders

  

I couldn’t be happier with the builders that Landon Development has selected! All 4 builders are very well known and deliver absolutely stunning new homes. 

My best guess is as follows on which builders will be building in which section of lots. 

K Hovnanian Homes and Landon Homes will be in the 65’s. Landon Signature will be in the 70’s, 74’s and 90’s. Shaddock Homes will be in the 70’s or 74’s. And Toll Brothers will definitely be in the 90’s and possibly 74’s. 

Again, that’s MY guess! 

  
I think that the builders in Lexington will have an overall higher quality of luxury by including one of the Top builders in DFW, Shaddock Homes, comparing builders in Richwoods. 

  

Landon plans to offer an “empty nester” product that I think will be very successful and is needed in Frisco! 

The goal to start pre sale will be in the middle of 2016, but you never know in residential development. 

What we do know is that Lexington has a lot of many positive attributes going for it (from location, builders, amenities, lot sizes and being gated) and will be one of the most highly sought after communities in Frisco

  
“For updates on Lexington check back here or text or call Brad Holden at (469) 733-2723. I plan to stay in touch with all the builders and provide you as much information as they give to me.”

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!!!!

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.

UPDATE on Liberty Crossing in Frisco by K Hovnanian (KHOV) Homes

Feb5

IMG_0053

Since opening Liberty Crossing, K Hovnanian Homes (KHOV) in Frisco has sold 15 homes (16% of the community). Of the total 94 lots, only a couple of the premium lots have contracts. And there has only been a $10,000 increase in price!

IMG_0056

Now here is what happens this weekend.

The model is complete and will be ready for viewing! But why is this important?

IMG_0052

IMG_0062

IMG_0063

Most of my clients cannot buy off paper. They have to visualize what they are buying. So having a model to walk and compare is an extremely big help for buyers to make the biggest decision of their life in buying a new home.

BACKGROUND ON LIBERTY CROSSING

The main portion of Liberty Crossing was owned by Diane and James Petty. The beautiful long entry off of Independence that led to a small bridge then to their estate and barn was the Petty Residence. James Petty was a successful businessman after selling a wire and cable company. He not only used to raise the Frisco Roughriders horses, but he was the Mascot of the Roughriders! Now he is one of the owners in the Mesquite Championship Rodeo.

Petty along with the other owners held out for a long time, but after the market came back and they were approached by KHOV needing lots in Frisco to satisfy their stockholders, the money was just too much to pass up.

So on April 29th, 2012, K Hovnanian purchased the property from all of the land owners in one big swoop.

What’s so special about 38 Acres in Frisco, you might ask?!?

In new home developments, you can rarely find a very unique lot in any of the latest North Texas communities. That now has changed with Liberty Crossing.

Here’s why. The acreage off Independence has water features already with arteries of Rowlett Creek, but mainly it’s the beautiful huge trees that I am hoping will all remain with the rolling terrain near the middle of the acreage.

“Instead of waiting 20 years or more for a lush landscape set-up like Liberty Crossing in Frisco, why not make the move in the beginning?”

IMG_0060

IMG_0059

And yes, it still is the beginning at 16% of the lots already SOLD!

Currently, KHOV is offering buyers $15,000 towards options and an additional $11,000 of upgrades if you use their lender and $4,000 towards buyers closing costs.

IMG_0058-0

This is my favorite lot and it is still available!

If you would like an updated plat map of Liberty Crossing in Frisco, Texas or would like to know how I can make sure you get the bottom line price and do not leave money on the table, call or text Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723. Or e-mail at B@holdennewhomes.com.

And don’t forget to ask about my rebate program which is on top of what I help you negotiate. My my rebate is on top of the incentives I mentioned above which normally comes out to around $9,000 to $10,000!

Here is one of those opportunities in new homes that doesn’t last that long.

At Diamond Point Estates in Frisco, K Hovnanian Homes (KHOV) has 6 inventory homes that will all close in October.

20140725-102026-37226573.jpg

If you are in the market for a new home, I’m sure you have seen the builders not backing down off prices or giving extra incentives. Well for these 6 homes, I can make that happen for you!

20140725-102144-37304725.jpg

Here’s the scoop.

K Hovnanian Homes is a Nationally Traded company. Each year the stockholders want to see high numbers of sales from each of their markets with DFW being their top performer.

20140725-102612-37572423.jpg

Liberty Crossing in Frisco by K Hovnanian Homes (KHOV) nearing Grand Opening!

Jul12

20140712-090106-32466512.jpg

The time is almost here for K Hovnanian Homes at Liberty Crossing in Frisco to start their pre-sales! The street are in and their sign went up yesterday.

20140712-090244-32564060.jpg

Liberty Crossing will be a smaller development with only 94 homesites on the current conceptual plat. There will be a pool and park at the front of the development. Standard Lot sizes will be 65 feet wide by 120 feet deep.

20140712-090407-32647896.jpg

But here is why Liberty Crossing really matters!

20140712-090518-32718690.jpg

Above is one of these reasons. There are about 10 lots that are so unique, it will most likely be a first for any new development in DFW but for sure Frisco. The lot above is one of only 3 lots on Bunker Hill Court! Around these lots there is a beautiful winding creek! Are you kidding me?!?

20140712-090731-32851749.jpg

The other lots have other unique features as well such as being oversized, backing to the large mature trees or opening your door to the almost forest in your front yard. Yes some communities are able to save some trees but nothing like this!

20140712-090910-32950729.jpg

The floor plans are projected to be the same as at Richwoods but add and subtract a couple to the lineup. My best guess on pricing would start in the mid $400’s. (But that won’t last that long.)

There will be both front entry and rear entry through Liberty Crossing.

Plans are to open sales at the middle of August or possibly September.

Below is a CONCEPTUAL Plat Map to what Liberty Plans to look like.

20140712-091210-33130458.jpg

“For more on Liberty Crossing in Frisco by K Hovnanian Homes text or call (469) 733-2723 to be placed on Brad Holden’s VIP list for grand opening dates or any other questions about Liberty.”

I will also be having a 30 minute presentation about Liberty Crossing soon to give a more in depth understanding with a question and answer session in early August.

Liberty Crossing will be a one of a kind community, that’s for sure!
