This shows you the real estate market is back!

As you can see above, Huntington Homes is building a model home in the Estates of Craig Ranch.

This entire section has every lot developed with only one large custom home on the golf course. With Highland Homes recent success in the villas of Craig Ranch, they have decided to roll the dice and bring in the luxury product.

And it just might work.

For more info on Craig Ranch or Huntington Homes, call Brad Holden directly at (469) 733-2723. And remember the 4% Rebate ending August 20th for contracts in Lawler Park in Frisco with Darling Homes or Highland Homes.

Eliminate your PMI from your monthly payment in Frisco

Aug16

20120816-011106.jpg

If you are looking to buy in Richwoods in Frisco or Lawler Park in Frisco, would you like your monthly payment to be smaller? If so, I can help most of you.

If your down payment on a new home in Richwoods or Lawler Park is less than 20 percent of the appraised value or the sale price, you must obtain private mortgage insurance, known as PMI, with your lender.

This allows you to bring to the closing table a smaller down payment because your lender is now protected against any default on the loan by you.

PMI charges vary depending on the size of the down payment and the loan, but they typically amount to about one-half of 1 percent of the loan, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association of America. They are also not tax deductible like interest.

Here is an Example on a $400,000 sales price:

Let’s say you put down 10 percent or $40,000. The lender multiplies the 90 percent loan, or $360,000, by .005. The result is an annual PMI of $1,800 which is divided into monthly payments of $150.

Most home buyers need PMI because 20 percent of the sale price on a home is a lot of money; for instance, that’s $80,000 on the $400,000 home. Home buyers must maintain the PMI premiums until they cross that one-fifth-of-principal threshold, a process that can take years in longer-term mortgages.

But I have a way to reduce that extra $150 a month to $0. Not every one of my clients will qualify, but the majority of them do and already have.

If you would like my help or guidance when you go to the builder to write a contract, call me directly at (469) 733-2723 to use me as your realtor. And if you do, you can either choose my 4% Total Rebate Incentive or choose to wipe out your PMI!

Things are looking very promising with Highlands 5% incentive off of the entire price of the home with all upgrades included. And there are also some amazing non premium lots still available

Aug14

20120813-200554.jpg

As you can see, the sales have begun in Lawler Park and there are no sight of them slowing down.

The pent up demand for this community has caused another Richwoods like frenzy to scramble and pick up these amazing prices for these quality builders.

If you told me that Darling and Highland would have prices in the $300’s in a prime location like Lawler Park I would think you are crazy. But they are.

On top of Darling Homes $30,000 inventive for their buyers and Highland Homes 5% off total price and options for their buyers, my clients will also receive a 4% Total Rebate!!!! This deal can’t be beat by any builder/broker combination.

So if you would like to take advantage of the builders super low prices and my incredible incentive, call me at (469) 733-2723 today.

4% Total Rebate for Richwoods and Lawler Park ends on the 20th

Aug13

The 4% Total Rebate that ends on August 20th for all new contracts using Brad Holden as your Realtor has been a tremendous success!!!

20120812-203357.jpg

This is very simple. If you are considering either Richwoods or Lawler Park in Frisco. Richwoods quality builders like Toll Brothers, Landon Homes, KHOV OR Newcastle are all eligible for my 4% Total Rebate incentive.

The reason why using me is a no brainer, is when you realize that all of these builders will not decrease the sales price a normal “3% realtor commission” it only makes sense to use my representation on your transaction.

Call me now at (469) 733-2723 and introduce yourself and ask me if I can help you on purchasing a new home.

Even in Lawler Park with either Darling Homes or Highland Homes, the same incentive goes.

Not only am I purchasing a home and will be a resident of Richwoods, I have sold numerous homes in both Richwoods and Lawler Park due to the best “Representative Rebate in Frisco.”

“The only reason I can provide this is because I am my own independent real estate broker. Most other agents with Keller Williams, ReMax or Ebby can’t offer this incentive because their company won’t allow this or they do not see the value.”

I see a tremendous value since I will be in the neighborhood, I am hoping that my own neighbors will come to me when the time it is to sell.

I will also offer my negotiation at contract if you would like to get the best deal or max out the incentives. I know what the builders will consider and what they will not when it’s negotiation time. Or if you would like to use my rebate just let the builder representative know and they will call me to get the instructions on how to apply the rebate.

I have compared my 4% Total Rebate to what other realtors offer and cannot find another client incentive that is close.

Again, call me at (469) 733-2723 or e-mail me at b@holdennewhomes.com to maximize your new home experience and minimize your total out of pocket expenses!

Highland Homes in Lawler Park Plan 976 & 978

Aug12

20120812-153921.jpg

Today I took a couple clients to meet Steve Marion the new sales manager at Highland Homes in Lawler Park and was I impressed.

We drove to another community that had a couple of the plans my clients were considering the 976 and the 978.

20120812-154259.jpg

The 976 was incredible! Beautiful open foyer with a spiral staircase continuing in to the living and open kitchen as seen in the picture above. The layout flowed so well I pictured myself building this one.

20120812-154609.jpg

Then we ventured down the street to the big brother of the 976, the 978. A very similar plan, buy just larger with a couple extra features the 976 just did not have.

20120812-154904.jpg

The kitchens color and features were just amazing as you can see.

Too take advantage of these grand opening prices and my 4% Total Rebate call me today at (469) 733-2723.

Darling Homes at Lawler Park is selling TOO FAST!

Aug9

It looks like we have another Richwoods coming up in Frisco right across the street!!!!

20120809-121850.jpg

As of today in The Arbors at Lawler Park, Darling Homes has only 10 lots to sell after only 1 week of pre-selling the community. That’s 15 lots that are not available.

Highland Homes in The Arbors opened this Tuesday and the sales manager has had back to back appointments.

This is the exact same way with Richwoods. They started pre-selling, wrote a lot of contracts and then things slowed down on the contract side until . . . The models were complete.

“Both Darling Homes and Highland Homes are slated to begin their models in Lawler Park at the first of September. Those plan to be complete at the end of October or first of November!”

Then Lawler Park will see even more activity because when people can physically walk through a home they feel more comfortable making the decision to buy.

The one advantage the people that have already contracted with Darling is the price. The Grand-Opening incentives are unheard of and with two of the most quality builders in the same community, you can be assured that the prices will go up quickly.

Every Thursday in August I will have a room filled with the most up to date information on Richwoods, Lawler Park, Kathryn Estates and Phillips Creek Ranch.

Come by tonight to get a packet for Highland Homes or Darling Homes in Lawler Park or just to compare the developments and builders.

It starts at 5:30 and goes until 8:00pm at the Wingate by Wyndham on the corner of 121 and Independence.

Also do not forget about my 4% Total Rebate for my clients if they contract before August 20th on a new home in Frisco!

Hope to see you tonight!

Lawler Park plants landscaping

Aug7

20120806-163613.jpg

Lawler Park in Frisco has just added its first section of landscaping. I can’t even explain the difference when you put some green up and how big of a difference it makes.

20120806-195058.jpg

This is one thing that many of my clients say that they need to see and also, an actual home before they make the decision to contract. Which makes perfect sense. The only downfall is that both Darling Homes and Highland Homes will start off much lower in price and much higher in upgrades in the first couple weeks. But a huge advantage to you the buyer is buying at the bottom and having faith that the home will turn out as planned. Or buying off paper.

20120806-195413.jpg

For plans/pricing or available lots for either Darling or Highland, call Brad Holden directly at (469) 733-2723. And don’t forget to ask about his clients 4% Total Cash Back Rebate for either Richwoods or Lawler Park until August 20th.
