DFW housing continues despite oil & gas concerns

Saturday, February 6, 2016
by Christie Cannon

Corporate growth & an influx of out of state buyers continue to sustain North Dallas' housing market growth.  Steve Brown of the Dallas Morning News wrote an excellent article expressing the positives of North Texas' continued growth, as well a continued concern of both buyers and builders with regards to the climbing prices.  With the full impact of corporate relocations (Toyota, State Farm, Charles Schwab, JPMorgan Chase, etc) not yet fully realized, the housing market is not likely letting up for the foresee able future.

North TX's Best nods to Clark Griswold

Saturday, December 20, 2014
by Christie Cannon

Stuck in the house with Cousin Eddie this week?.... perhaps a quick dash around town to see some of our areas best nods to the Griswolds.  

And you do detect a hint of jealousy, as my father-in law "taught me everything I know about exterior illumiination".... which explains why our lights don't work.

Find a spot near you & make some memories.... suggestions are  very welcome!

DFW's Northern Frontier is Key

Wednesday, December 10, 2014
by Christie Cannon

 DFW Northern Frontier

The theory that Frisco is the northernmost edge of the DFW Metroplex will soon be history.  The small town of Celina is posed for some major economic develpment and by the year 2020-2030, they are expecting they type of growth that Frisco has over the past decade.  Celina's future is filled with thousands of homes, corporate offices, entertainment venues and access to major highways and roads.  At 78 square miles, Celina is geographically larger than Plano or Frisco. It’s about 40 miles from both the Oklahoma border and downtown Dallas and is made up of mostly rolling fields and open spaces.  The theory is that Celina will soon gain some momentum in development as its swelling southern neighbors - Plano, Frisco, Richardson - are becoming massive employment centers.  Toyota Motor Company is set to bring its US Headquarters to the Plano area, and with that comes many new people, more homes, and development.  Sitting only 16 miles from Plano, Celina is set to be a prime location for development to occur. Celina’s story is emblematic of other small towns expecting big influxes of people over the next two decades. To the south, Prosper has its $1 billion Windsong Ranch development. To the west, Little Elm has the $600 million Union Park mixed-use project.  Big things are happening up north....read the full article here.

New Builds Are Up Nationally, But Face Challenges

Thursday, December 4, 2014
by Christie Cannon

New builds are on the rise nationally....and are up big in North Texas.New Construction Challenges

As builders continue to have record new home starts this year, costs and build times continue to rise. Almost half of Texas construction companies are facing the challenges of losing their workers to other, higher-paying industries.  The shortage of contractors is creating rising costs and longer build times.  In Texas, over 90 percent of construction firms reported that they faced challenges in finding workers and 48 percent reported that lost workers to other industries.  Rising demand for oilfield workers has been a major culprit of luring away construction employees over the past few years.  Read the full article here...

Windsong Ranch in Prosper - Coming Soon!

Thursday, February 27, 2014
by Christie Cannon

 

If you have not yet seen it... you have likely heard about it..  Prosper's latest & greatest coming community - Windsong Ranch  is preparing now for their full grand opening.  With major local & national builders (Highland Homes, Huntington Homes, Drees, David Weekley Homes, Darling Homes, & Chesmar), 600+ acres of greenspace - with tennis, ponds, pools, fitness, community cafes (with wife & all the perks), hike & bike trails, & more "hidden" surprises - this community is poised to be a major draw for buyers.  Having a location just north of 380, & combined with some of DFW's best builders, this community stands ready to add even more momentum to Prosper's already booming new home construction. The Terra Verde Group is one of the key groups behind this project; they are a company with deep experience in mixed-use development (such as CityPlace in Dallas), as well as more traditional Master-Planned communities - they combine this with a solid background in the planning & development of a huge number of Resort & Golf properties (from Angel Fire to the Dove Mountain Ritz Carrolton).
