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.

4,000 foot one-story in Richwoods in Frisco

Jun12

20130612-095245.jpg

My wife loves one stories! So the good husband I am, agreed to build a one-story home in Richwoods.

My number one concern though is the footprint of the home taking up so much of the lot. Fortunately, the lot we chose was oversized and perfect for what we wanted.

20130612-100334.jpg

It is rare to find an opportunity to build a one story with a yard in a desired location, but at Richwoods it is possible.

We built with John Landon Signature Series and have an absolutely incredible home!

For more info on builders, available lots or plans and pricing for Richwoods in Frisco call me at (469) 733-2723.

And feel free to call me and take a look at our home if you are considering a one-story. I do not mind.

Why Stone Edging Matters.

Jun12

20130612-092730.jpg

I am a big stone edging advocate. I can’t stand when the grass comes through the mulch in the flower beds!

On a house that I owned before this one in Richwoods, I had stone edging done and it looked good. But one day I noticed that there was grass in the mulch and needless to say, I was frustrated.

20130612-093012.jpg

Well as I was shopping contractors I found a no-nonsense stone guy that has been doing stone on new homes for over 12 years.

20130612-093137.jpg

I asked him if there was anyway to block the grass growing under the stone wall and in the beds and he looked befuddled.

20130612-093257.jpg

He told me that it CAN’T grow into the flower beds. And I was both skeptical and excited.

What he does differently is he digs 4 to five inches down and uses rebar in the trough and then levels it and adds concrete. That is all that happens on the first day.

20130612-093536.jpg

The second day is when they start adding stone and mortar after the base concrete dries.

20130612-093700.jpg

It made sense to me, so lets just see if the grass doesn’t sneak it’s way through!

20130612-093812.jpg

And for resale, it will get you back every penny! Well worth the investment!
