There's been a lot written about our little hamlet of Prosper, TX. Much of it has focused on our average home price being somewhere in the mid-$300k's. That leaves buyers with the impression that we don't have an affordable entry-point, and some buyers who might want to live in our area shy away without a look. It's a shame, because, although limited, the homes in our entry-level price points start as low as $129,900, which is a typical Dallas/Fort Worth suburban home price.
There are currently 13 homes under $188,000 in the North Texas MLS, but they range in style and size quite dramatically. This creates an environment where there is something for everybody:
1970's and 1980's resale homes - with only about 1500sf of living space in these 3-bedroom homes, but with suprisingly large .40 acre lots.
1990's resale homes - we've only got one right now, but it's going to be a quick sale. It's an 1800sf home on 1.5 acres, and it's listed at $185,000. Seriously? An acre and a half of land in the middle of Prosper, Texas for $185,000!! That's a steal!
2000-2008 resale homes - in the master-planned community of Artesia. This was a Centex development until it was sold off last year. Unfortunately, it was such an attractive community that it was demanded in the multi-state, multi-community sale. New development has not begun this year in Artesia, so that brings all buyers in this price point of home to the resale offerings.
2009 new construction - Yep - new construction in Prosper, TX below $200,000! Glenbrooke Estates is a new community on the Prosper/Aubrey border between Hwy 380 and First Street. Prices begin in the $140,000's.
So, no more comments like 'I'd love to live in Prosper, but I just cannot afford it". Don't assume. Just ask.
Have a blessed day!
