 . . . it's back!!!!!A View from Grand Lodges at Craig Ranch

That's right, Craig Ranch is making the turn and heading for the finish line.

The 2,000 Acre Master Planned Community has trotted at a much slower pace than anyone has expected, but after a couple of the latest transactions that have taken place the prime piece of McKinney Real Estate is back!

In late 2007, the public, the custom builder and even the real estate community would shake their head back and forth when the discussion of Craig Ranch came up and think there is no out.  David Craig has always had the vision and made the right plays to come out on top. 

In the past 6 Months 2 Nationwide builders have made purchases of lots and another is in Escrow as you are reading this to build new mckinney homes.  KHOV was the first to take down the first phase of Villa lots despite many other custom builders attempts at the project which left the community in disarray with a home here and a home there.

Same situation with The Settlement on the East Side of the TPC Golf Course.  A surplus of McKinney homes for sale were left non-complete due to financing of a builder that had built in DFW since 2000.  Yet again, a nationwide builder Beazer Homes has come in and swiped up 93 lots even in the uncertainty of not only this market, but Craig Ranch as well.

Another developer called Mad Mag development has purchased 24 acres and will begin Tuscorara which will primarily focus on independent living with 165 apartments and 24 villas.

To help further stimulate the economy, Traxxas a hobby-class radio controlled cars, trucks and boats, will relocate its corporate headquarters to McKinney in Craig Ranch.  This will add another 150 jobs to the city of McKinney after the move.  They plan on having a test facilities and race tracks with public access. 

So there you have it, all in one post.  The next Frisco with that cities Frisco homes explosion?  We will have to wait and see.   In 5 years, someone will come across this post and think, "Okay, like everyone didn't know that already about Craig Ranch, of course it is the best new community in DFW." 

But I would correct him and say, "the best new community in the entire nation!"

If you are looking for a new home, nows the time!  Call me to take advantage of what Craig Ranch has to offer at the bottom of the market, before you cannot afford it.

Brad, there are some agents in other areas of the country who would practically sell their first born child to have what Craig ranch might call an unacceptable level of sales.  I hear it is a wonderful area.
