Park Place Estates in Frisco Opens Phase Two by K Hovnanian and Shaddock Homes

Mar4

Park Place Estates in Frisco has been an incredible community with the amount of sales at the price point in today’s market.

Phase 2 has opened up with Shaddock Homes and K Hovnanian Homes. Drees decided not to go into phase 2 because of the Canals at Grand Park development they will be in right next door. Windsor Homes has 2 homes left to sell and they will also not continue to phase 2.

What is very appealing about Park Place in Phase 2 is that both of the builders are fantastic! Either is great!

K Hovnanian has 6 Specs coming up and they will be ready starting in August through September. The beauty regarding those homes is you will be able to get a great deal considering the end of October is the end of K Hovnanians fiscal year.

They build great plans and this will help drastically cut down the build times for new buyers.

Shaddock on the other hand is having a hard time keeping specs available on the ground. They have sold 9 homes since February but do have a couple homes that will be inventory for them in the next couple months.

But honestly with plans like this that will close this month by Shaddock Homes, it’s easily understood why they can’t keep the homes on the ground!

Park Place in Frisco Opens Phase 2 with K Hovnanian and Shaddock Homes

Jan14

Phase 2 sits on the Western side of Park Place and has some nice oversized lots. Only Shaddock Homes and K Hovnanian will be building in Phase 2.

Park Place will be a phenomenal investment as soon as Stonebrook Road opens to the Tollroad. And is underpriced in my mind considering Grand Park will be developed right across Legacy.

There are many specs that are already underway and will help buyers cut the time to actually move in to the new home, which is good! K Hovnanian has a Charleston Spec that I just love! It’s a 5 bedroom, 5.5 baths, study, Gameroom, media room and a 3 car garage at 4,922 square feet. Priced today at $676,900 with a $25,000 buyer incentive. I can do better.

It’s an amazing plan!

Standard sizes lots are 80 wide by 140 deep. HOA is only $500/yr and in Frisco ISD. Currently Elementary is Nicholls, Middle Pioneer and High is Frisco.

For more on Park Place, K Hovnanian or Shaddock text or call me today at (469)733-2723 and we can discuss their bottom lines and available lots.

It’s a great community!

Shaddock Homes at Light Farms in Celina, Texas

Nov25

Shaddock Homes at Light Farms in Celina has an incredible opportunity for any buyer considering Light Farms. Shaddock builds in the larger lots and is priced higher than Drees, American Legend, Darling, Etc. Their standards though make it all make sense though.

Shaddock is known for building plans with two incredible features, their staircases and Sight lines.

Owner, Peter Shaddock believes that these two factors are what buyers really are looking for. And I will agree that they are in the top 10 for sure.

So what’s the incredible opportunity you ask?

It’s simple. Shaddock and their pricing for the square footage and lot size and what they are offering as standards, puts Shaddock at Light Farms as a incredible buy for what you are receiving. Let’s put it this way, a spec in Light Farms practically loaded, is currently at 4,761 square feet priced at $514,900. I would guess that a client could end on that Spec at the low $460’s!!!! Now if you could pick that same home up and drop it in Frisco at Park Place Estates you would be looking at the $660’s!!! This will not last and Peter Shaddock has seen enough developments to know that he needs homes sold and on the ground for buyers to see and to create momentum.

For more on Shaddock Homes or available lots at Light Farms in Celina text or call Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723 for more information.

Shaddock Homes Holiday Party Last Night at the home of Peter Shaddock

Nov10

Last night my wife and I attended the Shaddock Homes holiday party at the home of the owner of Shaddock Homes, Peter Shaddock.

The party started with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in the beautiful old world style home.

I did get some one on one time with Peter Shaddock and he mentioned the most important features when building a house.

#1. Staircase

He said that it is very important to have a unique staircase when you walk through the front door.

#2. Sight-Lines

When designing the layout, make sure there are sight-lines that allow you to see into other rooms.

#3. Wide Hallways

Most hallways are around 3 feet to help maximize room size, but Peter says that you need a minimum 4 feet for hallways that will help with sight lines and never make you feel boxed in.

And it all makes perfect sense!

K Hovnanian hosts Realtors at Stonebrook Crossing in Frisco

Sep26

K Hovnanian Homes at Stonebrook Crossing in Frisco hosted a Grand Opening for Realtors today. And needless to say, I was impressed!

Stonebrook Crossing is not a typical Frisco neighborhood because it only has 67 total homesites. K Hovnanian Homes and Shaddock Homes are the two builders currently building in Stonebrook Crossing. The standard size lot is 65 feet wide by 120 foot deep.

The model home is called a Westhaven at 3,888 square feet and done very well. It is a 5 bedroom 4 bath home with both media and game room upstairs.

Every exterior on this plan has the beautiful courtyard with a rod iron gated entry. And lastly a must, a 3 car garage.

The most impressive part to me is the price. They start out at $428,900 for 2,943 square feet in West Frisco! And this doesn’t take into consideration the $20,000 incentive for the grand opening.

Why is this a fantastic deal? It’s simple.

The entrance is off of Stonebrook and as soon as Stonebrook is completed to the Tollroad, prices should go up due to the convenience.

K Hovnanian has 4 Spec homes coming up planned to be complete in both January and February.

For more info on K Hovnanian at Stonebrook Crossing in Frisco, text or call Brad Holden at (469) 733-2723 for more information.

And don’t forget to ask Brad about his Rebate for his clients that purchase a new home in Frisco.

Will Light Farms in Celina be the next Frisco?

Aug27

I attended a Drees Realtor event at the Light Farms information Center today and had one of the salespeople say, “Celina is the next Frisco!”

I smiled and told her that she has to be kidding!

As I left I thought about what she said. There are a couple things that are happening in Celina that mirror Frisco about 10 years ago.

All of the farmers/land owners in Frisco were up in arms about letting developers in to create commercial and office buildings, but it happened.

Today, the Celina farmers/ land owners are doing the same thing! But developers like Republic Property Group, Blur Star and Matthews Southwest have big plans for the area.

The Tollroad north of 121 was a 2 lane highway in Frisco and the plans were to build it north. Look what happened.

Celina right now is set up the same way!

And lastly, I am sure you are wondering “what about Prosper?” Well it’s simple.

The land prices in Celina are not astronomical like in Prosper. Prosper is great, but developers like RPG cannot make it work in Prosper, but they can in Celina!

Just like they couldn’t make it work in Plano, but they could in Frisco!

So who knows? It might be in 10 years, but NO ONE can see that far into real estate for sure.

But what we do know is the builders like Darling, American Legend, Drees, Shaddock, Highland and Lionsgate haven’t made too many mistakes lately, and they are in Celina at Light Farms.

Call or text Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723 for more info on Light Farms in Celina.

Light Farms in Celina just makes sense!

Jul26

It was a year ago and I got a call from Candy Evans, THE only Dallas Real Estate Blogger, and she asked me about Light Farms in Celina.

I said, “Huh? Light Farms? Celina?”

She continued with she has heard that it will be the next best community and has everything going for it, and honestly I was very skeptical.

Until Yesterday.

Light Farms in Celina right now is perfect for a large amount of buyers that I speak to on a daily basis.

Here are 5 reasons why Light Farms WILL be a fantastic community for many, many new home buyers.

#1. Location

I focus on Frisco communities and a year ago had a hard time getting comfortable with Celina as being a desirable location. But now after driving it, being a visionary and realizing why it makes sense, Light Farms could be a better location than Phillips Creek Ranch, Richwoods or Lawler Park.

The Dallas North Tollroad WILL continue directly by the community. (See above) It is literally right off the Tollroad. This has a huge advantage for communities and makes Light Farms attractive with its accessibility.

#2. Builders

The builders that will be building in Light Farms are American Legend Homes, Darling Homes, Lionsgate Homes, Drees Homes, Shaddock Homes and Highland Homes.

I have sold homes with every one and the quality, customer service and track record all give Light Farms a big advantage over other communities. They are all successful and build great homes. Not one bad builder.

#3. Price

With these builders and the timing right now of the grand opening, ANYONE who makes the decision to contract in the next couple months are sitting pretty with equity.

In new home developments, the key is buying right. And in the beginning the builders do not know exactly what their homes will go for market, so most of the time they underprice and the market shows them they are too cheap. For instance, Lionsgate has sold 16 here and their model isn’t even complete! This shows the demand was there and the buyers jumped since the prices are so much less than the communities they were looking in Frisco, Allen, McKinney and Prosper.

See the map above. Light Farms is on 908 acres and plans for 2,700 homes at build out! This alone should make sense to you by “getting in early!”

#4. Retail

I know what you are thinking, “Retail? What’s this guy talking about!?!”. Well, it’s coming, breaking ground very, very soon!

There are two MAJOR developments that will be coming on two corners of highway 380 and the Dallas North Tollroad. The first is Frisco North.

The Frisco North Development will be located on the South West corner or 380 and the Tollroad and consist of retail, apartments and commercial space. Cinemark has already announced a 14 theatre movie theatre there!

On the North West corner, Mr. Jack Matthews purchased 157 acres and plans for more retail, office, hotel and entertainment. Jack is with Matthews Southwest and they have developed The Tribute in They Colony as well as the Omni in downtown Dallas.

SLAM DUNK with those two projects coming to life!!!

#5. Light Farms Amenities

With 4 pools, 4 tennis courts, a fitness center, hike and bike trails, playgrounds/parks and close to 132 acres of the community as green space; Light Farms wins!

At the pool they have a concession area! What community has that! Also, the fact of around 132 acres of green space will make this place look great.

After actually seeing it, it makes sense.

If you are interested in Light Farms and would like more info on builders, the plat map, available lots or want a tour of the community; text or call me today at (469) 733-2723.

The available signs above will be gone very soon and those buyers will make a fantastic decision to buy in Light Farms in Celina.

“And don’t forget to ask me about my 4% Total Rebate for this an next month in Light Farms for my clients.”
