Fort Worth Real Estate Online

I am in the process of putting together a marketing package for the home pictured below.  It will probably be coming on the market mid next week.  I think it is such a cool home that I wanted to at least give a little "preview" of one of the great features this home has to offer.

The family room pictured above is just huge.  Lots of room... a great ceramic tile fireplace with a full wood surround... and two walls of "Low-E" windows... engineered to let the light in, but keep the heat out.

The gourmet kitchen pictured above... is just perfect for meal-prep, or casual dining.  The oversized granite island counter top features an upgraded double stainless steel sink... with upgraded fixtures.

The kitchen opens up to the left to the family room to the left... and to the over-sized breakfast area/morning room on the side.

Be one of the first to see this great home... and learn all about the $8,000 tax CREDIT that is available to both first time homebuyers... and buyers who have not owned a home in the last three years.  Call Karen Anne Stone at (817) 929-3400 for your very own "sneak peek !"

There's a brand new townhouse community in Carrollton, Texas.  Sizes range from the mid 1554 sq ft .. to 2245 sq ft... with pricing ranging from the $180's to the $220's.

One of the great features of the Brand New Carrollton, Texas townhouse community... is the fact that the builder has a total of thirteen DIFFERENT floor plans... with custom front elevations for each unit.  What this means for you... is that you won't have to worry about seeing your exact home duplicated in every third building... like is often the case in many of the typical townhouse neighborhoods.

Below is a great example of this feature.  The end unit on the right... with it's arched entryway... and it's full two-story brick and stone front exterior... is a great surprise in that it is a TWO bedroom home.  It is just perfect for the professional single person who does not want to live in a condo... but does not want all the upkeep that goes along with a single family detached home.

The master bedroom is upstairs... and is complete with double knee-spaced vanities, a garden tub and a marble stall shower... and a master closed so large you could get lost in.

There is also a second bedroom up... and an overszed gameroom.  So much room... especially for a two bedroom home.

Downstairs... the living room is huge... and is "stacked" with the dining room.  The gourmet kitchen features hand-stained wood cabinetry, and a three-sided walk-in pantry.  There is also a half-bath downstairs... and... one of the coolest features of all... is the covered patio.  It is in a "C-shape"... and is more than large enough for a gathering of guests... just waiting to wolf down your best barbeque !

The above home measures 1940 sq ft... and is priced at $210,990.  Of course, that pricing included all of the custom exterior architectural features, the brick and stone exterior... and there is NO extra charge for being an end unit.

So... if living in your apartment is about to drive you NUTZ... and you'd like to take advantage of the $8,000 tax CREDIT for first time buyers... and buyers who have not owned a home in the last three years... please call Karen Anne Stone at (972) 951-4350 for a complete explanation of just how the tax credit works... and how soon you'd receive it after moving in.

A sparkling brand new townhouse community has just opened in Carrollton, Texas.  This community is very unique in that there are only three homes in each building... so obviously if you, as a buyer... will only live in a townhouse if it is an end unit... then you may find that this neighborhood will work perfectly for you.

Below is a gorgeous end unit townhouse... complete with brick and stone exterior.

It's exterior features include an arched entryway... two coachlights, and a second story balcony.  WHat's more... all of these exterior features... including the above landscaping... are included in the price of $226,990.

The home is 2,209 sq ft in size, and features three bedroom PLUS a study.  The master bedroom is 21 x 14 in size, has a monster walk-in closet, and also has a covered balcony.  Bedrooms two and three are 13'7" x 10'6"... very unusual for secondary bedrooms.

The family room is 21 x 17... quite large.  The Dining Room is 17 x 11... and the gourmet kitchen features a wrap-around serving bar... which accesses both the dining room and the family room.  The rear entry garage measures 21 x 20... which is larger than many 2 car garages on detached single family homes.

If you have been thinking about getting a Carrollton townhouse... if you want to be near DFW airport... and don't want to pay a gazillion dollars for an eight-unit-per-building townhome... it might be time to finally "get serious"... especially if you would like to take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit available on each of these home. 

That credit is a CREDIT... not a deduction... and is available to first time homebuyers... or to homebuyers who have not owned a home in the last three years.  Call Karen Anne Stone for all of the details on both these lovely homes... and the $8,000 tax credit... at (9720 951-4350.

There's something exciting going on in Carrollton, Texas.  A brand new townhouse community has opened... and the models are finally furnished and ready to go.

There are many special features about the townhouses in this neighborhood.  One of my favorites is that there are only THREE homes in each building.

It is not surprising that many buyers of townhouses want an end unit.  In neighborhoods where there are usually six to eight to even ten units per building... having an end unit is a long-shot... and usually, when they are available, the builder charges quite a premium for an end unit.

In this case... two thirds of the homes are end units... so that is no longer a problem.

The square footages of these homes range from 1,544 sq ft to 2,246 sq ft.  The smaller units have two bedrooms, two and one-half baths, and a game room.  All of these wonderful homes have two-car garages... and all of them are rear entry.  They range in price from $188,990 to $227,990... depending on size and exterior elevation.

If you have been "just looking" for a townhouse in the Carrollton area... and are ready to "get serious"... give Karen Anne Stone a call at (972) 951-4350.  There is still enough time to take advantage of Uncle Sam's (or Aunt Samantha's) $8,000 tax credit for either first time buyers... or for those who have not owned a home in the last three years. 

Everyone's excited... new home buyers are just "itchin" to get in to see this goegeous brand new Two Story model that's just about ready for showing by one of Fort Worth's favorite new home builders.

This super two story features four spacious bedrooms (Master Down), two and one-half baths, two dining areas, a Great Room and a Game Room.

The downstairs area Master Bedroom makes for an awesome Owner's Retreat.  Twin wrap-around vanities allows for lots of room to get gorgeous or handsome in the morning... which ever approach floats your boat !

The master closet is so roomy... you just might have to take your $8,000 FREE TAX CREDIT from Uncle Sam... and go shopping at North East Mall to fill up the closet !

The gourmet kitchen is great... with a serving bar that opens up into both the Great Room and the morning room/breakfast area.  Right off the morning room is a good-sized covered patio... just great for all that year-round BBQ'ing you can do in the great Fort Worth weather.

All three upstairs bedroom have walk-in closets... making them just great for your kids or guests, or both !  This great two-story home is approximately 2,421 sq ft in size, and is priced at $176,550... and full of lots of "custom features" at that price.

So... if you are ready to go from "Just Looking" to "Let's Get Serious"... and want to take advantage of Uncle Sam's EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLAR TAX CREDIT for a housewarming present... call Karen Anne Stone of New Home Hunters DFW at (817) 929-3400.  She can probably arrange a private showing even before the model is actually open to the public.

There's a New Model in Town !  And... She's really Good Lookin' ! 

One of our Favorite Builders here in Fort Worth is just about ready to open two new models in one of the most popular Neighborhoods in northern Fort Worth.  Here's the scoop on the smaller of the two !

When driving up to the front of this great home... the first thing you notice is the full front porch.  What a great "street-scape."  Full front porches are hard to find in this price range... the low 150's.  But... here it is

Featured are three great bedrooms (split master), a spacious Great Room, an incredible gourmet kitchen with wrap-around cabinets and counter-tops, with custom-made cabinetry stained "on the job."

The breakfast/morning area is to the rear... past the kitchen... and opens up into a nice-sized covered patio... great for all year round BBQ'ing.

Sizing is right about at 1,616 sq ft... and pricing is from right at $150,240 to $153,800... for the front porch elevation shown above.

If you are ready to move from the "Just Looking" stage... to the "Let's Get Serious" stage... and wouldn't mind your Uncle Sam giving you a house-warming gift of $8,000 as a tax CREDIT... call Karen Anne Stone at New Home Hunters DFW at (817) 929-3400 to see aside a time to see this gorgeous home.

A new nationwide study of various real estate markets around the country has brought some very good news to the greater Fort Worth area.  This report studied housing market conditions in more than 300 U. S. markets. 

Most Texas cities were clustered at the bottom of the ranking of housing markets expected to see home price declines.

By comparison, many California, Florida, Arizona and Nevada markets had almost a 100 percent risk of falling home prices over the next 24 months, the report shows.

The following is a comparison of areas and the percentage chances of home price declines over the next 24 months.

Area                                              Chance of price decline

Lakeland-Winter Haven, Fla                99.9 %

Fort Lauderdale, Fla                           99.9 %

Los Angeles                                       99.9 %

Lake Havasu City- Kingman, Ariz.       99.9 %

Fort Worth-Dallas                               2.5 %

The fact that the Fort Worth/Dallas economy is so very diversified, and that the history of the very gradual rising of DFW home values... pretty much has negated any possibility of the "real estate value bubble" bursting... mainly because there never has been a bubble to burst.

Although the real estate market is very different from what it was four years ago... we in Fort Worth and Dallas are blessed with a stable market that features a very low possibility of across-the-board decreases in home values.  Now really is... a very good time to buy in Fort Worth/Dallas.
