By Tom Branch, on December 17th, 2013  We’ve been watching an interesting trend over the past few years—wine has become very popular. While fine wines have always been popular among the well-to-do, recent trends show that it is now popular with all economic groups.
Not surprisingly, an entire industry has evolved to cater to those new wine connoisseurs. Browse any store or online specialty shops and you’ll find all kinds of things for sale. Corkscrews, glasses, decanters, napkins, coolers, racks—the list seems endless.
That trend is now influencing Plano Texas housing–wine cellars. Although we do see the occasional wine cellar under the home, most of them are spaces dedicated to wine or entire refrigerated wine rooms. Some are minimal while others are quite extravagant with wet bars, seating, dim lighting, and walls of wine racks.

By Tom Branch, on December 16th, 2013  We can’t speak for all areas of the country, but we can tell you that locally lot sizes have decreased over the years. There are a number of reasons for the decrease but the major reason is that land costs have climbed dramatically and smaller lots allow the builders to keep the overall costs down.
Many buyers prefer large lots so they are not on top of their neighbors, have room to put in a pool, build a larger one-story home, or simply room to enjoy the outdoors. While the average new home in Frisco Texas sits on a one-eighth acre lot, there are homes for sale on larger lots (one-half acre or larger) in Frisco Texas.
While many of these homes are higher priced, there are homes available at more reasonable prices.

While the Texas weather in mid August is sizzling, the 100-plus degree afternoons give way to more reasonable temperatures in the early evening. As the temperatures drop, we see the golfers out hitting the links.
The Golf Club at Twin Creeks, in Allen, TX, is an Arnold Palmer designed course that opened for play in 1995. The award-winning, 18-hole championship golf course meanders around two natural free flowing, tree-lined creeks helping to create a peacefully scenic setting.
The City of Allen also owns The Courses at Watters Creek. Watters Creek consists of three unique golf experiences for all levels of players and provide an outstanding environment to learn and practice all phases of the game with first class practice facilities. The Courses at Watters Creek was designed to have something for everyone.

It’s that time of year again! Afternoon temperatures are over 100 degrees and everyone is looking for a way to cool off. While there are municipal and community pools, many homes in Frisco, Texas have in-ground pools. Personal pools offer privacy and a much quiet and relaxed atmosphere.
While some home buyers will opt to put in a new pool, we strongly encourage potential buyers to look for a Frisco Texas home where the pool is already installed. Installing a new pool is very costly and those owners never recoup the cost at the sale. It would be far more cost effective to purchase a home with a pool and remodel the kitchen and the baths.
