New Listings and Why Your Home is Selling in this Market
2008-06-09 19:22:00
Pockets of Opportunity in Plano Numbers for May are out and again they are down, needless to say. Plano sales are off 17% from last year, but I'll digress - What's interesting is Plano is new listings are down 34% from a year ago and active listings down 16% . Months supply is at 5.0 which is 5% below last year. What does that mean? Inventory is low and the selection for the buyer could be limited in certain neighborhoods of choice. It's still a buyers market so pricing has to be reasonable but Plano has its own bubble if you will... So if you sold your home recently and were surprised it sold fast this is why...I've talked to several folks that are looking for new diggs because of this. I'll post May figures later this week so for now here are the new listings in 75093. 23 properties to review.. [where:75093, new listings]

Foreclosures in West Plano
2008-06-05 23:43:00
More Foreclosures ... It's Thursday (I'm sure you know that) and tomorrow is a busy real estate day so I'm posting for Friday now... And that means Foreclosures. List this week is for 75093 and 75024. Heads up for this week - I know Kings Ridge is a popular place and a hot bed of foreclosures, even in the new section! There are some great opportunities here but don't trust the for sale price as a foreclosure deal. Know the value of the condition and location of the home. Why are they not priced like a real foreclosure? Because banks don't know how to sell real estate! Some are way over-priced...just so you know. Buyer beware...

Real Estate Update for 75093
2008-05-21 11:34:00
Year Trends for 75093 Take a look at inventory levels from last year, May 1st was around 325 units. This year you can see how inventory has been rising to about 350 units, climbing but still lower. That might explain why some sellers are surprised their home sold quickly. Even though the market is down, pockets exist in each locale. If inventory is lower - then homes in great locations still create demand. Are prices going lower? That's a question I get often. Price per sq. ft. in 75093 was $145. last May 1st. Today it's 90 day average is $140. $5. difference is not bad, but you can see that prices adjust over time and value in 75093 remains strong. You get a lot for your money! Spread the word. Prices will go up and down - nothing drastic here. [where:75093, plano, market trends]

Watters Crossing - Allen
2008-05-20 19:51:00
The Waters Fine in Allen Sometimes, when you start your house hunt, you think you want a specific area but you end up somewhere else. The photo above is a beautiful neighborhood just north of Twin Creeks in Allen, called Watters Crossing . You might want to live in Plano or Frisco, but Allen is an option too. Plenty of good values with newer homes. $250,000 range. This is a private lake for residents and you can fish too. The HOA is very reasonable - under $400.00 a year, something to consider. Watters Crossing is a peace of heaven in Allen. [where:75013, Allen, Watters Crossing]
