Finally! Ashton Woods has broken ground in The Preserve in Allen. I was out visiting the site over the weekend and found the two model homes are well on their way to being completed. I also noted the lake is filled and the fountain is operating.
There are two model homes under construction near the west side enterance. While I did not speak to the sales staff, I suspect they will be open in late March 2012.
I understand that presales have been going well with about 12 homes already under contract.

I was out speaking with some buyers yesterday and they were talking about living in Allen in a home on a golf course. Allen has lots to offer but the only golf course within the city is Twin Creeks.
Located in west Allen, Twin Creeks is a wonderful master planned community. The 18 Hole championship course was designed by golf legend Arnold Palmer who wrote, “The Golf Club at Twin Creeks could be one of the best courses in the State of Texas, and the most peaceful 18-hole course I have ever designed. The golf course is of a traditional nature and is very much in harmony with the natural landscape.”
According to the course website:
The Golf Club at Twin Creeks offers an award-winning golf course that winds its way around two natural, free-flowing, tree-lined creeks. Known for its “peaceful” setting and as one of the most naturally preserved golf courses in the state, Twin Creeks has become a favorite of Collin County.

While we’re right in the middle of winter, a number of new clients have indicated they are looking for a pool home in Plano. Some buyers are telling me they will put the pool in after closing.
My best advice for buyers looking for home and want a pool is to find a home where the pool has already been installed. You can always update a kitchen or make other changes to the home. Installing a pool is a guaranteed way to lose money. A pool that costs $40k to install is worth about $17k when it’s done. Let someone else take the loss.
The good news is there are plenty of pool homes currently on the market and that number should grow as we enter into the spring sales season.

By Tom Branch, on December 27th, 2011 As 2011 gives way to 2012, it’s time to take a look at the housing market in Plano, Texas, ZIP Code 75025.
75025 is the north, central part of the city of Plano. It looks like a large letter L with State Highway 121 on the north, Coit Road on the west, Legacy on south. The south leg runs all the way to US 75, then north to Hedgcoxe, West to Custer, and north to meet with State Highway 121 again.
2011 appears to have been a very stable year for the area. Let’s look at three charts: median sales price, average days on market, and new listings. You can click on any of the graphs for larger views.
Median Sales Price
The graphs are broken out into four price ranges. It’s been a flat year in the market for the lower three price ranges. Homes above $290k saw a 10.3 percent decrease in value. Overall home prices are down about 4.1 percent from this time in 2010.
Average Days On Market
This chart really helps you to understand why the median sales price was down for home above $290k. The average days on market for these homes spiked to almost 330 days in the spring of 2011. The good news is the market was finally able to absorb the inventory and the days on market settled back down.
New Listings
The decrease in new listings has been one of the primary reasons the housing market in 75025 has remained relatively stable. While demand is down, the supply of new listings is down as well. The lack of an over-supply of housing has been a good thing for homeowners.
