Housing Market
Like many other parts of the America, prospective homebuyers in Flower Mound, Lewisville and Highland Village are facing a historically tight market with low inventory and skyrocketing sales prices. For the most part, sellers are going under contract within a very short time as soon as it hits the market with sale prices exceeding list price. This means there was approximately 0.5 months worth of inventory in these three bordering cities. Local REALTORS® and buyers are hoping for at least six months worth of available inventory but competition with buyers that need to buy and Investors is challenging.
New Construction on NEW LAKE
Rather than focus on the usual new home construction let's talk about construction of the new lake in process of being built to serve Flower Mound, Lewisville, Highland Village and other surrounding counties. The planning for a new water supply in Fannin County began in the early 1990s based on future growth at that time. If this plan wasn't approved, by 2025 and 2030 there would be a water shortage because of dropping groundwater levels. It was back in 1989 that talks became serious with regards to the Upper Trinity Regional Water District. Due to state requirements, Upper Trinity must meet the needs of the population. It was projected that at least '15 million people' will move to the area. This is BIG because '16 counties depend on water and waste-water services that make up North Texas population,' which continues to grow and anticipated to 'more than double over the next 50 years.'
