Celina Texas New Homes For Sale

Did you know?

Celina got its start in the late 1870s and early 1880s when a pioneer by the name of John T. Mulkey settled in the area and named it after his old Tennessee hometown.

In 1902, when the St. Louis, San Francisco and Texas Railway (the Frisco) was built through the area, the town moved its buildings to sit right next to the railway.

As of 1950, the population of Celina was a teeny tiny 1,000 residents.

Currently, many of us that are in North Texas can see that the sprawl is heading North and will soon connect to Oklahoma.  In fact, Celina is only about 52 miles from Oklahoma and 45 miles to downtown Dallas.

But as Frisco expands and develops its suburban and downtown Frisco Rail District, Celina stands next in line for growth.

One of the main reasons so many people are hoping to buy in Celina is because of this growing real estate market.

The Collin County Association of Realtors reported that about 138 homes sold in Celina in the month of August 2019.

✅ The average sales price is $364,977 in August 2019 up from $333,448 an year ago.

Why are people giving Celina a serious look? And looking to Celina Texas for new homes for sale?

Even though it is extremely far from Dallas, families are looking for higher end homes with an excellent school system.  This is why its bringing people from around the country to Celina.

When the Toyota transition was happening in Plano, there was a true shortage in the supply of homes which left eyes (and builders) literally eyeing wide open spaces like Celina.

When looking at new construction, you have to know that new homes offer enhanced safety and energy efficiency, amenities and layouts more suited to modern lifestyles, and sometimes the ability to customize spaces that you don’t get with a resale. But if you’re not careful, costs and expectations can spiral out of control.

But as you do your research . . .

Slow your roll so that you don’t make a mistake.

Don’t worry there are plenty of homes that have been around for some time and many Celina Texas new homes for sale.

In fact here are 3 costly mistakes to avoid when buying a new house ⤵️

1. Settling on one lender without shopping around

Many large builders offer in-house mortgage lenders they work with who may or may not offer competitive rates and terms. They do this to build referral partnerships and networks and may not be the best fit for you.  You can shop around and possibly find a better deal.

2. You must understand builder warranties

When you buy a home, there are two types of builder warranties you’ll hear about: implied and express warranties.

Implied warranties can be vaguely worded.

Either way, you need to completely understand the warranty before signing so hire an attorney if you need a document reviewed.

3. Choosing the right upgrades

Some options won’t matter in the long term investment off your home.  And not all need to be done right away.

Remember you can always hire your own personal contractor a few years down the road.

In addition, make sure to see the home in the daylight as well as after dark to get a grasp on how the area feels.

The American Dream is not a one-size-fits-all solution and it does not mean home ownership or owing the bank for 30 years.
