South Denton/Argyle. Soon to be another disaster area.

Yup FM1171 from 35w to Shiloh is getting widen. Thats for a reason along with 407 thru Lantana.

Keller, Southlake, grapevine, north richland hills.. Fuck dallas.

Is it even possible to live in Southlake for 300k?

probably not...

Yeah, IMHO north of Mckinney is starting to get overpriced. Anna/Melissa are mostly non-custom developments and some of the places are built really bad (mobile home finishes...etc..etc) at standard home prices.

In Van Alstyne, my house/property is supposedly worth 100K more than what I bought it for 3-4 years ago. I feel I got a great buy on it and could believe another 25-50K, but 100K just is not realistic. However, people are selling their homes for high prices now.

Buy where you want, but I'd have to strongly recommend against Desoto/Lancaster...etc. I worked out there for about 6 months on a project and it's bad enough during the day, but after around 7 it goes downhill fast.

They ran the one school I was in for a bit like a prison.

Little elm, frisco, savannah, union park, Aubrey, oak point any other neighborhood out on that 380 fiasco is a fucking disaster.

You'd have to go north of 380 now to get any land, the area has boomed! Sellers market still for sure, I bought my house a little over a year ago. A new HOA housing development across the street has been built, my neighborput his house on the market for a little more than $30,000 more than I paid for mine(same floor plan, I have 50sqft more and more concrete)....he got an offer 2 days later(no real estate websites, it was for sale by owner).

Needless to say im in deep deep thought over selling mine, but I don't want to deal with moving again.

If moving north, I'd suggest Aubrey it still has plenty of land avaliable.

Yeah, I have a friend that lives out in fucking WEATHERFORD but thats kinda far out for us. We have looked more north west of fort worth and we like what we see, but that also feels too far. Right now its more a feeling out phase than actually buying something. We haven't placed a bid on anything and probably won't start seriously trying till after the Fall.

Aledo? I work at the ISD there now. The town is about to explode with more peeps.

North of 380 is going up too. Seeing a lot more traffic from 3 years ago (like it flipped overnight from no traffic to traffic jams one day)

Anything from 289/Preston to 75 going north seems to be high right now.

Aledo area is very nice and laid back. At least it was a few years ago when I was working at the ISD.

There isn't shit for cheap property in Aubrey pilot point. Sanger has cheap property of you like shitty land.

Found a place in Van Alstyne this weekend, 31 acres for $124,000. Was a little surprised to see such a low price in that area. I want to go check it out this week. They have 2 plots, same size.

Yeah, even undeveloped that seems like a STEAL. I know the developed stuff seems to be between 20-40K an acre.

Land is going to continue to go up too, that's a worthwhile investment and just sit on it.

[Treybiz]

probably not...

Nope.... We've been looking and passively trying to get back to southlake or at least grapevine/keller within southlake schools. We made two offers in the last year on the first day each home hit the market and were outbid within hours. One house sold for 25k over asking the first day.

The high dollar houses are selling fast but anything near 300k and especially under is gone same day.

It's defeating.

I'm looking to build a house actually, but that is the plan. When retirement age hits, sell to a developer and move further out or out of the US.

Yeah.. my parents neighbors had a house sit on the market for a while but its 2500sqft that needs a complete remodel sell for $450k. I find it amazing how houses are in such high demand and so expensive.

Save your money, live elsewhere and put your kids in private school. Keller has a new charter school for kids I think K-12. Doesnt cost you out of pocket. They get true wholesome food, learn Spanish and Chinese and they focus on a good education. The ex's little cousins go there. People pulled their kids out because they thought the school was too "tough" on their kids and that a good education was a bad thing. They put their children back into mediocrity
