My 100th Closing in Richwoods and this is what I have seen are “Must Haves” of my clients.


20130924-134336.jpg

I have worked hard the past two years and have just eclipsed 100 sales in Richwoods as of yesterday. That is a combined total of K Hovnanian Homes, Toll Brothers, Landon Homes, Newcastle Homes and John Landon Signature Series homes. This has allowed me to be a part of 100 families needs vs. wants when building a new home.

I thought it would be very beneficial to list out what my clients thought and decided on. Again, everyone is different in style and taste but here are 10 of the “Must Haves” when you build a new home in today’s market.

20130924-171031.jpg

1. Wood Floors

It is almost 95% that in this price point ($380’s-$1mm) that there is somewhere in the house you will find hard wood flooring. Either glued down or hand scraped hardwood will do.

2. Media Room

Personally, I don’t understand the Fad, but a media room is a MUST HAVE for about 90% of my clients. Even if it is upstairs for some reason people just have to have one. This can also be your “Man Cave!”

3. Electrical Outlets for Flat Screens

The Flat Screen TV is taking over. But many builders do not change the outlet unless the buyers request it. Just think twice about it. Even if you don’t use it, you will have it for resell and it would be easy to hair behind a picture.

4. Laundry Room Location

Finally, people are realizing how much time they spend in the laundry room. Make sure in your plan that the location of the laundry room is around the majority of bedrooms.

5. First Floor Extra Bedroom

I can’t tell you how many clients walk into a house, look for the extra bedroom downstairs and can’t find one, then they walk out. It is very important to have an extra bedroom for parents, guests, hobbies etc.

6. Three Car Garages

At this price point, the majority of my clients purchase this as their next home. So many want a larger garage, no question about it.

7. Wider Hallways

Most hallways are 3 feet wide according to minimum standards for Frisco code. But if you can make them wider (4 Feet) it looks better and feels more roomy.

8. Large Drawers in the Kitchen instead of Cabinets

Old school is cabinets. New school, larger drawers. Large drawers make more sense and allow you to easily access the items towards the back.

20130924-170918.jpg

9. Free Shower Caddies

This is something I learned first hand and if you address it with your builder at the time you are walking electricals, they are very likely to accommodate your request. It’s easy to build the box and they will either tile it or marble it and is ESSENTIAL when you are in the shower.

20130924-145848.jpg

10. Oversized Kitchens with Large Island

On average, over 10 hours a day is spent in every kitchen in America! It’s the most used room of any room in the house. Make it large, make it nice and it will make you smile!

For more information on any of the builders in Richwoods or their available lots or incentives, call Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723.

Richwoods Place Construction Update for K Hovnanian Homes & Landon Homes


20130905-203447.jpg

Richwoods Place within Richwoods in Frisco is currently being built by K Hovnanian Homes and Landon Homes. This section, by far, has not only the most homes closed in Richwoods but also has the most homes under construction in Richwoods as of today.

20130905-203818.jpg

Richwoods Place standard lots are 64 foot wide by 115 foot deep. Both K Hovnanian Homes and Landon Homes do have oversized lots that vary throughout their current lots in Richwoods Place.

20130905-204051.jpg

Today Landon Homes starts around 2,700 square feet at $398,990 and K Hovnanian starts around 3,700 square feet at around $494,000.

20130905-204523.jpg

In Richwoods Place, from a construction standpoint of homes that are completed and closed and homes that are currently under construction are as follows as of today:

There is a total of 163 Homes are Currently Closed or Under Construction

20130905-212220.jpg

Demand for homes in Richwoods Place is still high and showing no signs of slowing down. Prices are rising monthly or with Landon every three homes sold.

The two most popular floor plans are the Chesterfield for Landon Homes and the Prestondale 2 for K Hovnanian Homes.

20130905-212532.jpg

Land Prices as well as Labor and Materials are still creeping up due to the demand of homes versus the supply especially here in Frisco.

The two newest sections of Richwoods named Richwoods Heights and Richwoods Crossing have projected to have another $20,000 price increase for the land cost and rising labor and materials. Richwoods Crossing will be the continuation of Richwoods Place. While Richwoods Heights will be the continuation of Richwoods Glen and Richwoods Meadows.

“Overall, Richwoods Place is the Number one selling section of homes and closing of homes in any community in DFW for the past 1 year and a half!”

Now that’s a big deal.

20130705-160916.jpg

Richwoods Meadows by Landon Homes offers the Chesterfield Floor plan on 3 Lots


20130621-160043.jpg

There is a great opportunity for buyers to take advantage of living in Richwoods Meadows and building the number 1 Floorplan in DFW, the Chesterfield by Landon Homes.

20130621-160251.jpg

1 of the 3 lots is already under contract but two are still available as of today. The beauty of this opportunity is you can purchase on a larger lot instead of the normal 65 foot wide lot.

I have actually had clients ask to build a Chesterfield in Richwoods Meadows but were denied. The only reason that this is happening is because the 3 lots cannot fit the Richwoods Meadows plans.

20130621-160623.jpg

Call Brad today at (469) 733-2723 for more information and the bottom line price for these homes today.

And remember to ask about my 4% Total Rebate for clients that contract before the end of this month.
