This is very close to the landfill. I would advice you to look something closer to the 121 if you prefer melissa

I used to work in the neighboring community of Meadow Run as a builder rep, and I very rarely smelled the landfill. When there’s low barometric pressure (like before a rain), you can smell it when you’re outside, but it wouldn’t stop me personally from living over there. It’s a still a very popular area, especially for the lower priced homes in Melissa ISD.

@@MeganSellsNewHomesDFW thanks for your response. I would prefer not to live in that case. Thanks for your honest response.

@@palani26 Thank you Palani26. I appreciate your response. I shortlisted willow wood and legacy , but they are expensive than what I am looking at.

@@venkatak4046 of course! If that’s the case and you’re trying to stay in the same price point, I would recommend Anna to the north! I have a whole video dedicated to reasons to move to Anna if you want to learn more about the area 😊

Thank you Kurt, I try! 😄

You’re at least 100k off not including land costs, but like most things the main determinant of price isn’t the cost to build but supply and demand. It’s still way cheaper to buy a home in an area like this than anything closer in to the city. You’re not wrong about piss bottles being a common sight on new construction job sites though 😂

@@noeeortiz9073 this floor plan starts at $478k, and the current quick-move in homes with the same floor plan are ranging from 478-500k with all upgrades included.

Thank you Borhan, but I’m already working with a team!

@@MeganSellsNewHomesDFW That's fantastic to hear that you're already working with a team! I totally respect that. If you're ever interested in discussing how to fully monetize your channel and create an additional income stream, I’d be more than happy to help. It typically takes about a month to get everything set up. Wishing you continued success with your channel and your business!

@@adamdoes4757 why thanks 😛

@@kurthealy9508 right?? It’s crazy to find doors like that at a lower price point 🤯

Thanks Kurt!

@@jasonfuller1001 I mean…it’s not any different from any public pool or water park 😂

@@kurthealy9508you can still change jobs under the right conditions! Lenders look at factors like if it’s in the same field, and if it’s a similar salary. You can usually go ahead and get a pre-approval if you have an offer letter with the salary listed. If your job is newly commission-based or you don’t have a new job lined up yet, yes you should probably rent first.

I flashed a correction up on screen! Caught the mistake in editing 😝

@MeganSellsNewHomesDFW o my bad sorry

@@tjhudson3399 Build-out population projection is estimated to be approximately 200,000 by 2050.

@@tjhudson3399 I love it here! It’s close to a major toll-free highway, the homes are affordable, and it’s not that far to drive to stuff when I want to leave the house. Our property values have gone up super quickly too, since the area is so fast growing. It’s fun to watch all the new development coming in

@MeganSellsNewHomesDFW you should get into the country part. Like mudding. Back in the day, people in anna would go mudding, not sure they are dirt roads anymore, but Tiffany's road and goobs hill were popular by us locals. Also anna is surprisingly close to chachtaw

Hello, just found your channel and been watching all your videos! I had my eye on McKinney so bad because I love the downtown area, reminds me of a Hallmark channel. Now you are convincing me to look into Melissa and Anna. School district is. HUGE plus for me since I have little ones in elementary schools. McKinney is way out my budget, but I would like to be in an areas where I’m not driving 10 minutes for a Walmart. Can you tell me how is the diversity for these both towns? Thanks!

@@katianahilaire4818 I’m not able to share diversity demographics due to fair housing laws, but the information is very easy to find with a quick google search! There’s a couple communities really close to Walmart, I’d love to chat more with you so I can help you narrow it down. Would you be open to a free zoom consultation? No strings attached 😊

​@katianahilaire4818 I grew up in Anna. Both Anna and Melissa have amazing athletic programs. Anna won state in football last year and Melissa won state in softball. Id pick Anna over Melissa because Melissa has a dump

@@raulrodriguez4006 thanks for backing me up on that one haha, I’ve never felt the urge to drive 5+ hours to find out 😂

@@Lucky7nono thank you, glad you got something out of it! 😊

I just so happen to love nuts 😝

Thank you Kurt! Maybe I can help you move back one day haha

@@MeganSellsNewHomesDFW would be nice

Thanks Kurt, I'm passionate about homeownership for all! ☺

@@MeganSellsNewHomesDFW 🙌

@@coppermutant in what way? Like checking on the build or working on your own personal preparation to close/move?

@MeganSellsNewHomesDFW thanks Megan, yes I was thinking in terms of a few things, like the loan for example- stick with the builder lender's initial offer or actively look for better offers, insurance, things to watch for while the home build is in progress (Zak mentioned getting multi-phase inspections), any gotchas - sorry it's a pretty broad question. 🙂 Does your realtor go radio silent for 6 months, etc. Waiting is the hard part I guess. Maybe a video on that?

@@coppermutant Sure, that gives me enough to go off of! I can make a video in the future, but let me give some quick answers in the meantime: -You can certainly shop around when it comes to lenders, but 9 times out of 10 you're going to be better off going with the preferred lender. The incentives are usually tied to them and the process is typically much smoother. Always compare mortgage payments and cash to close, not just the advertised interest rate. -You can get a 3 phase inspection on new builds (foundation, pre-sheetrock, and final) if you just really want that ultimate peace of mind. Most people just do the one inspection at the end, since there are so many city inspections during the process. -Realtors are all going to be a little bit different, but a good one should be involved with the builder meetings and staying up to date on the build process with you. That helps them know when to list your home if you have one to sell, and they more involved they are, the more in the know they are if issues come up. It feels like it's going to take forever when you're at the starting line, but when you're sitting at the closing table it'll feel like no time has passed at all! And then you'll have years of enjoyment in your new home ahead 😊

@MeganSellsNewHomesDFW Awesome thanks for the replies Megan, looking forward to the content on this channel which is useful even down here in the Houston area

Thanks @@coppermutant, glad to have you here!

Yes! Locals are excited for that project…it’ll be really nice when they connect us to Celina

Thank you Borhan! I actually hired a team last month who has me covered, but I’m glad you’re enjoying the content!

@@MeganSellsNewHomesDFW thank you for your response❤, I’m still super excited about the possibility of helping you take your CZcams channel to new heights. Your work is impressive, and with the right strategy, I believe you can expand your audience even faster. I’d love to find a time that works for you to discuss some ideas. Again, this isn't a sales call, just an opportunity to collaborate and share some insights. Can we schedule a meeting at a good time of you? Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thank you so much, glad you liked it!

Thanks, that one was fun to read out loud 😂

I’m absolutely going to do more videos like this one! I’m actually working on one right now for a master planned community in Melissa 😊 When are you guys looking to move?

I just posted another one today for a community in Melissa with the amenities you’re looking for! Check it out on my channel page 😄

Gotta love saving hundreds of dollars a month right??

@@MeganSellsNewHomesDFW For sure!

Thank you so much @allthingsrita2307!

My pleasure! You built a beautiful home 😊
