With one of the highest home sale averages in the DFW Metroplex, Prosper, TX is a hot commodity.  But, don't assume there are no affordable housing options in Prosper, Texas.  Luxury homes are defined in DFW as homes with a price over $350,000.  In Prosper, I consider the luxury market to start a...

You moved to Prosper, TX.  You love your home.  You change your air filters out quarterly.  You mow your lawn every week.  You put out fresh mulch in the landscaping once a year.  You run your sprinklers when we don't have steady rainfall.  Is this the extent of your home maintenance schedule?  S...

Just last week, a valued client contacted me about the sale of his home in Houston.  I am not involved in that transaction.  I sold him the home he and his family now own in Prosper, TX.  But, since I did not have 'skin in the game' as he stated, he trusted my opinion.  He wanted to know whether ...

As a home seller i...

It was true last year at this time in Prosper, Texas, I predicted it at the beginning of 2010, and it's proving true again this year:  In 4th quarter, we are very limited on completed builder spec home options, and the best overall values in the final quarter of 2010 are actually in the resale ho...

In scanning the 168 active homes in the MLS in Prosper, TX today, I noticed that some agents have entered the area and subarea incorrectly.  This can be disastrous for a home sale, since many agents search for properties by the MLS geographic area.  The correct Area for Prosper, TX is 59.  The su...

The #1 factor for most home buyers I've encountered in DFW over the last ten years has been buying a home in a good school district.  The buyers, in many cases, like to research the schools ahead of their initial visit to the area.  Not providing them with reliable school data on the MLS is a big...
