The past couple of months has seen the housing market in Allen Texas come alive. Homes that are properly prepared, show-ready, and priced right are going under contract in days.
We were out working with a first-time home buyer this weekend. We found a great home that had been on the market for a couple of days. By the time we scheduled a second-showing, the property was under contract. We’ve seen this time and time again.
Our advice for buyers is to watch the market daily for new listings. Sites like this one are updated daily. If you find a property, call your agent right away to schedule a showing. If you wait a couple of days the home will likely be under contract.

By Tom Branch, on March 16th, 2012  I dropped by The Preseve in Allen today. Things have really started to take shape.
The two model homes near the west side enterance are just about complete. We have been told that they will be complete and open for business by the end of March.
As I drove the neighborhood, I noted the lake is full and about six homes are well on their way to being completed.
When I last spoke to Ashton Woods, I was told that pre-sales have been brisk and many of the premium lots are already reserved.

Lovejoy ISD in Collin County has become a very desirable school district. There are homes in Allen, Lucas, Fairview and McKinney zoned to Lovejoy ISD.
According to the school district website, “Lovejoy ISD is an exemplary district serving students in Fairview, Lucas, and Allen, Texas. The Lovejoy Independent School District includes Lovejoy High School, Sloan Creek Middle School, and Hart, Lovejoy, and Puster elementary schools.”
While the exemplary school district is a major draw, this is one of the best areas for homes on acreage located with easy access to the DFW Metroplex.

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.

Allen Texas, located just north of Dallas, is a great little city and a wonderful place to live. The city continues to grow with plenty of developement–both residential and commercial.
The Allen housing market has been relatively stable. This month we’ll take a look at Median Sales Price, Days on Market, and Months Supply of Housing.
Median Sales Price
The Median Sales Price, which had been on the rise for almost a year, retreated some over the past few months. It appears to have stabilkized over the past month. Allen started the year at $196,475 and is now at $201,000. While .5 percent is not a huge increase, it is stable.
Days on Market
Days on Market has been on the rise for the past year yet remains below 90 days and below 2009 and 2010 levels. Allen started at 77 days on market and has risen to 82 days on market.
Months Supply of Housing
The Months Supply of Housing is very good at 4.4 months of inventory currently on the market. The National Association of REALTORS® suggests that a 6-month supply of housing is a balanced market. Supplies over 6 months indicate a buyer’s market and supplies less than 6 months indicate a seller market. Our experience is that homes that show well and are priced right continue to sell.
