Latera by Toll Brothers in Frisco releases Phase 2 Lots


20130806-153421.jpg

Latera by Toll Brothers in Frisco has released lots in the second phase!

Today my clients contracted on a Vallagio Manor in the new phase on a oversized lot. Toll Brothers has taken 12 deposits on this phase already out of the 36 lots.

20130806-153756.jpg

The model at Latera is the Mount Pellier model. It is very hard to find anything wrong with this plan!

20130806-154022.jpg

Above it opens up to two different curved staircases. Wow! I would most likely race people to the top if I had this model.

20130806-154159.jpg

The Master Bath has a beautiful shower feature with two shower heads. Wow!

20130806-154320.jpg

20130806-154431.jpg

20130806-154507.jpg

20130806-154532.jpg

This plan with the Vallagio and Montelana are by far the best plans in Toll Brothers if you ask me.

If you have a deposit with Toll Brothers or want to live in a gated community in Frisco call me direct today at (469) 733-2723 to discuss my 4% Total Rebate that I am giving to my clients that contract this month. This applies to Richwoods and West Park as well.

Latera will have 3 phases and on the last phase prices will be significantly higher in the next year or two.

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


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


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!

Richwoods Amenity Center in Frisco to add Retractable Glass Doors


20130730-140241.jpg

The Richwoods Amenity Center originally had normal doors that led to the patio and pool. After installing, the developer had a brilliant idea on installing glass doors that are retractable!

20130730-140504.jpg

It will look something like this, but I do not know exactly. Good job Landon Developement! Good job!

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


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!”

HOME BACK ON THE MARKET by K Hovnanian (KHOV) at Richwoods Place in Frisco


20130727-233444.jpg

I spoke to Kim Stewart at K Hovnanian (KHOV) today and she let me know of a home that has come back on the market in Richwoods Place.

The plan is a Oakview at 3,611 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, game room, media and a 2.5 car garage. The home faces East and is in a fantastic location in the neighborhood with easy access in and out.

20130727-233734.jpg

The KHOV home is loaded with upgrades and is listed at $492,900. Kim has told me that there is also a $20,000 incentive for upgrades on that home.

20130727-233926.jpg

It is not normal to be able to pick up a home in Richwoods at this stage and to be able to close and move in by the end of October.

Another big plus is the home is still at a stage where some of the design features can be changed to the buyers liking.

20130727-234149.jpg

While I was in the KHOV office today, Kim was writing a contract on the Prestondale so there is only 4 homes left for KHOV in Richwoods.

The deal.

I am very confident that we can put an offer in on this house without making KHOV corporate mad at $462,000 and get one o the best deals in Richwoods.

They need to move it and whoever contracts will be getting a great value if the negotiations are right.

Call or Text Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723 for more info on the home or the negotiations. And don’t forget to ask me about my 4% Total Rebate for my clients that buy a KHOV home in Richwoods.

Landon Homes “Pocket Listing” at Richwoods in Frisco!


20130727-175738.jpg

I have a pocket listing that is just about to go on the market!

Only 6 months old, this Landon Home is the Windsor model where Landon currently sells Richwoods Meadows.

20130727-175947.jpg

It has all the bells and whistles you could imagine with nailed down, hand scraped hard woods, upgraded breakfast bar,extended patio, body jets in the shower, double ovens and cat-5 in every room.

20130727-180637.jpg

It is a 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home that is close to 4,590 square feet. Remember, the Windsor is the second most popular model in Richwoods behind the Chesterfield.

20130727-180738.jpg

But the biggest selling point to this home is the location in Richwoods and the location of the lot. It backs to one of the 4 field areas that at the time had very hefty premiums. Not only that, it is on a cul-de-sac street!!! And it is a 3 minute walk to a children’s park!!!

20130727-180920.jpg

Most importantly, it’s ready now! Very well taken care of since it only closed 6 months ago.

20130727-181007.jpg

There is a very short window of time for this pocket listing because once it is listed, I’m sure it will be contracted ASAP due to the location and being ready today.

For a viewing of the property or any other information Call or Text Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723.

Light Farms in Celina just makes sense!


20130726-095349.jpg

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?”

20130726-095629.jpg

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.

20130726-095823.jpg

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.

20130726-100134.jpg

#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.

20130726-100601.jpg

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.

20130726-100902.jpg

#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.

20130726-101109.jpg

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.

20130726-101246.jpg

#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.

20130726-101840.jpg

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!

20130726-102155.jpg

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!

20130726-102841.jpg

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!!!

20130726-103414.jpg

#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!

20130726-103645.jpg

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.

20130726-103804.jpg

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.

20130726-104018.jpg

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.”

Saddlebrook Village by Lennar Homes in Frisco


20130724-102600.jpg

Saddlebrook Village in Frisco has a couple things going for it.

#1. Location.

It is off of Teel and Lebannon. That I a great location for the price.

20130724-102805.jpg

#2. Community Size

It is a smaller community that will be easy in and out. Also, they just opened 2 weeks ago and have sold 4 of the first phase of 40 lots, so selection of lots is there.

20130724-102936.jpg

#3. Grand-Opening Prices

Prices start in the low $300’s.

20130724-103024.jpg

#4. Finish out.

They are finishing out these homes with upgraded materials because they basically buy them in bulk and can offer homes at a lower price than most builders in this price point. I call them “The Costco of builders!”

20130724-103210.jpg

For more info on this incredible community in Frisco called Saddlebrook Estates down the street from Phillips Creek Ranch text or call Brad Holden at (469) 733-2723.
