    Maybe It’s Time For Another Look

    If you’re ready to build, this may be the spot.

    H2 Deerwood is back on the market.

    And the math has changed.

    This is the one-acre lot in Waterstone Estates northeast of McKinney. Minimum 3,500 square foot build requirement. Higher-end neighborhood. Custom home product.

    If you’re a builder in Collin County, or an agent working with buyers looking for this type of area, you already understand the appeal.

    The previous asking price was $308,900.

    It’s now listed at $285,000.

    At that number, it’s currently the best-priced lot in the subdivision.

    That doesn’t suddenly make it “cheap.” That’s not the point.

    Most serious lot buyers are not reacting emotionally to land right now.

    They’re running numbers.

    Interest rates being what they are, the monthly cost of a custom home is materially higher than it was a few years ago. The less somebody spends on the lot, the lower the overall project cost and the less money they have to borrow.

    Also don’t ignore lot prep costs.

    A heavily treed lot may look beautiful finished, but it can also cost substantial money to clear and prep before construction even starts.

    This lot is flat, open, and straightforward.

    That matters more right now than it did when money was cheap.

    This is also one of those properties where the right buyer probably knows fairly quickly whether it fits or not.

    You either need a build site in this type of area, or you don’t.

    If you do, this one deserves another look.

    Photos, aerials, and property details are below.

    If you’d like to walk the lot, text me at 214.354.3583 and I’ll give you the gate code. Or have your agent reach out.

  • Waterstone, Worth a Look

    Waterstone, Worth a Look

    Make sure you see this one.

    If you build or sell custom homes in northern DFW, this is a straightforward one to look at.

    One acre in Waterstone Estates, northeast of McKinney. The neighborhood requires a minimum build of 3,500 square feet, which keeps the overall product consistent.

    If you build in the area already you know this is a higher end subidivision. If not, but you have customers or clients interested in Collin County, this is a great option.

    Can currently be purchased for $279,000 (Buyer to pay all closing costs other than sellers agent commission).

    That’s the basic framework. Beyond that, it’s just a matter of whether it fits what you’re working on right now.

    Photos and aerials are below so you can get a quick read on it.

    If you want to walk the lot, just let me know ahead of time and I’ll coordinate access.

    P.S. If you want to see more like this as they come up, you can sign up here and get them by email.

  • Before You Compromise on a Lot You Don’t Really Want — Look at This

    Before You Compromise on a Lot You Don’t Really Want — Look at This

    For buyers who know what they want — and won’t settle.

    If you’ve been looking for a one-acre lot in the McKinney area for a while, you already know how this usually goes.

    Inventory is thin.

    Most options come with compromises you don’t want to live with.

    And at today’s interest rates, the monthly cost of just owning the lot is real — especially when you’re also planning to borrow half a million dollars or more to build.

    That’s why a lot of people pause.

    Not because they’re unsure — but because they’re unwilling to settle.

    This is written for buyers who know what they want in a custom homesite and are prepared to wait until it actually shows up.

    You’re not looking for a “deal.”

    You’re looking for the right lot — in the right area — at a price that makes sense in today’s market.

    And you don’t want to be pushed into something that isn’t it.

    This is not for bargain hunters chasing something that doesn’t exist, or for people who are willing to compromise just to say they bought.

    If you need to be talked into a lot, or you’re hoping price alone will make the decision for you, this won’t be a fit.

    What I’m offering here is simply information for buyers who know what they want in a McKinney homesite.

    It’s a straightforward look at a one-acre lot in Waterstone Estates, intended for a custom home — nothing dressed up, nothing hidden.

    The neighborhood requires a minimum home size of 3,500 square feet, which tends to matter to people who care about long-term context and consistency.

    One important piece of context worth knowing:

    the neighboring lot closed very recently, at a higher price.
    If you want to verify that, ask your agent.
    If you don’t have an agent, ask me and I’ll send you the recent sales.

    No pressure implied by that.
    Just context — the kind serious buyers tend to care about.

    And one final note for people who think the way you do:

    Those who request this will also see new listings from me as they come available, evaluated and presented with the same straight talk.

    I don’t send junk. And I don’t push people into decisions they’re not ready to make.

    Take your time.
    Look it over carefully.

    If it’s what you’ve been waiting for, you’ll know.
    If it isn’t, that’s fine too — this is about choosing, not being sold.
