Will Hunters Creek, Richwoods and Lawler Park be the safest communities in Frisco?

Aug1

20130801-221609.jpg

The City of Frisco has plans for Fire Department number 8 at the corner of Independence and Rolater.

20130801-223535.jpg

All three communities (Hunters Creek, Richwoods and Lawler Park) all will benefit more ways than one with the new Frisco Fire Station coming up next door. The 12.2 acre tract of land was acquired by the city in 2002 and originally had plans for a city park.

20130801-222249.jpg

The increase in residential homes in the most recent months/years has made the city rethink what use this corner would benefit from.

More great news for Frisco that will not only help land values but also put Frisco homeowners at ease.

ANNOUNCING Liberty Crossing in Frisco by K Hovnanian (KHOV) Homes

Jul30

20130730-211324.jpg

This is by far the biggest news in Frisco Real Estate since Richwoods, Lawler Park and Phillips Creek Ranch!

“Located in the hottest market in America, I would like to be the first to announce Liberty Crossing by K Hovnanian (KHOV) Homes in Frisco.”

Just north of the two hottest neighborhoods in Frisco (Richwoods and Lawler Park) Liberty Crossing is currently situated on very prime Frisco real estate consisting of 38 acres.

20130730-213108.jpg

Background.

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.

20130730-213305.jpg

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.

20130730-213608.jpg

What’s so special about this 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 will now change.

Enter Liberty Crossing Frisco.

Here’s why. The acreage off of Independence already has water features with arteries from 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?”

20130730-213756.jpg

In addition, directly across the street Preston Trail at Rowlett Creek in Frisco Church is currently underway and will help get some good vibes going for the area.

I will be in close communication with the builder and will be providing updates at Update Frisco when they come. There is a possibility for another builder to enter Liberty Crossing as well.

When the plans, pricing and the plat map comes out I will have a quick 30 minute informational meeting/seminar to discuss the community, pricing and amenities. If you would like to be included in the Liberty Crossing Informational Event call or text Brad Holden at (469) 733-2723.

Or if you would like to be on Brad Holden’s waiting list for the plans, pricing and available lots when they are released also call or text Brad Holden at (469) 733-2723. Or e-mail at b@holdennewhomes.com (Subject Line “Liberty Crossing Info”

Frisco is yet again adding another unique development to the mix with Liberty Crossing in Frisco. And with the news of the Dallas Cowboys moving to Frisco this past week, I don’t know if I can handle any more fantastic news about Frisco!

Preston Trail at West Rowlett Creek Church in Frisco will significantly help values of Lawler Park

Jul28

Preston Trails at West Rowlett Creek Church in Frisco is underway off of Independence between Rolater and Main Street in Frisco. The church will be 33.5 acres and directly over the treeline of Lawler Park and across from Liberty Crossing.

20130728-002900.jpg

Preston Trails will help Lawler Park residents in a couple of ways.

The church fills a gap of land that was originally zoned single family homes and changed to allow for the church. The reason why this matters is the Taychas Trail.

Taychas Trail is a city hike and bike trail that has already been approved through the city of Frisco that will connect Bacchus Community Park to Independence Parkway. A portion of the trail will be on the church property due to it being in the flood plain.

20130728-003301.jpg

If homes were built there, it might not have been approved depending on what the developer/builders planned for that section of the acreage.

The Church also takes away the chance of a low end builder come in and connect to the upper end quality builders Darling Homes and Highland Homes.

For more info on Lawler Park in Frisco call or text Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723.

“And just wait until I break the newest development news that will be underway in the beginning of 2014!”

Best Deal in Frisco today is in Lawler Park!

Jul21

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!

Darling Homes sells 5 just this weekend at Lawler Park in Frisco

Jun17

20130617-133707.jpg

Darling Homes at Lawler Park has sold 5 homes just this weekend!

With the opening of the new phase and the prices still relatively low for the location to where they will end up and factor in the interest rates, the time to buy a house is now.

20130617-133852.jpg

I was at a contract meeting with Sia Mianab the salesperson with Darling in Lawler Park and he was really putting a great perspective on what is happening right now in this crazy market.

While negotiating for the best deal, he was “trying to” keep the prices down with his corporate. He mentioned that he has over 7 appointments today and tomorrow that were waiting on this second phase and he mentioned his corporate was limiting him on how many homes he is allowed to sell per month. Wow!

20130617-134248.jpg

Not to mention that his new front entry plans like the one above ate absolutely amazing!!!! I haven’t seen a plan that works that well on these 65 foot wide lot size. This plan is around 3,800 square feet and the base price is $447,990.

20130617-134436.jpg

If you are looking for a new home and want the best deal and best rebate as well on your purchase, call Brad Holden today to discuss where you are at in the process. Prices are only going up.

“And ask me about my 4% Total Rebate that I can extend to my clients that purchase in Richwoods or Lawler Park in Frisco this month.”

My clients, the Jackson’s, are officially the first home owners in Lawler Park in Frisco. They closed on a Darling Home and couldn’t be happier with the whole process, builder and sales staff.

This is the first of many this month and will continue for a long time now with the amount of homes that they are selling. Lawler Park has seen a tremendous jump in sales over the past couple months due to low interest rates, location, Frisco ISD and my 4% Total Rebate for my clients.

Trending Real Estate New Home Construction Standards

Nov28

20121128-151418.jpg

I have sold now over 60 homes in Richwoods and Lawler Park in Frisco Texas. Through these many transactions, I have seen the new trends that buyers are looking for and builders are making their dreams come true.

This is what I feel is coming up in the years to come that is changing in New Construction in the years to come for North Texas families, and he gave me some interesting things that he saw in General and what Darling is doing to make their floorplans timeless and sellable in the next Decade. The Darling Model Homes at Lawler Park in Frisco really helps display the wants and need with their finishout details. The Landon Home model in the Glen section in Richwoods shows the new trend of sectioning off rooms throughout the house.

Start looking for the following trends:

Formals are going away. Darling Homes is builiding more plans with options to change the dining room into a downstairs Media room or game room.

The open kitchen concept is not going away anytime soon

.

The open kitchen and living room concept will be around along time in any new home.

Builders are now focusing on lines of sight and sound barriers with their floorplan designs. They try their best to avoid ‘echo boxes’ by allowing for spaces to be closed off if needed or options to seperate noisy living or gaming areas for children.

Casitas or Mother In Law in-house suites with Garage or Outside Access.

The Darling Model in Lawler Park in the Crossing allows for the Mother in Law to come and go as they please without even distubing the rest of the household. And in Lawler Park they can build this in the mid 400’s. Can you imagine Luxury living in the premier South Frisco community for very realistic prices?

Straight Staircases are coming back.

Top Quality materials and thick wood wrapped cases make them still a focal point even without all the frills of the curved case.

Exposed Cedar stained beams at the vaulted cathedral ceilings in the living room.

Another custom home feature for a non custom home price.

Call or Text me today (469) 733-2723 for a tour of Lawler Park in Frisco Texas or Richwoods in Frisco. Let me tell you more about why these communities are HANDS DOWN, the best in DFW. These builders believe in quality and after seeing construction for almost 8 years, it is hard to find builders and communities like this.

Contact me Brad Holden at (469) 733-2723 to discuss the communities and ask about my clients 4% Total Rebate that I am extending my clients until the end of December.
