Collin County luxury real estate is as hot as a Texas summer day. With prices and demand increasing by the hour, most see the current situation as a strong sellers’ market, but statistics are suggesting that buyers entering the luxury real estate market are also going to do quite well with their investment in Collin County. The average price of a home in Collin County has gone from $184,000 in 2012 to a May 2014 median list price of $213,000, and forecasts show that there is no sign of the prices slowing down. This is especially the case for the luxury market where buyers can find themselves in a competitive space when looking for a home. Even still, compared with the rest of the country, luxury real estate in Collin County is more affordable than in most zip codes and with prices continuing to rise, there’s never been a better time to invest in Collin County luxury real estate.

One reason why Collin County offers such a strong investment option is that we just keep on growing! Our population has nearly doubled in just over ten years: in 2000, Collin County had just 491,675 residents. As of 2012, that number jumped to 834,642 and there’s no stopping us now! The good news for buyers is that, with rolling hills and an expansive, natural landscape, there is more than enough room for everyone who wants to move to Collin County. The County has invested heavily in infrastructure and education opportunities to streamline development and ensure that the growth is sustainable and that Collin County will continue to afford Americans with arguably the best quality of life the US has to offer.

Another reason it’s a great time to invest is this year’s low interest rates. For buyers, the price of a home always has to be evaluated with current mortgage rates in mind when assessing the real investment value of a potential home. The good news is that mortgage rates have hit the year’s lowest point, making it a great time to get in the market and leverage the opportunity that Collin County real estate offers.

In other words, while most people would view the current market as exhibiting signs of a strong seller’s market, here at Matlock Real Estate Group, we see this as a “win-win” situation for both sellers and buyers. Sure, it’s never been a better time to sell in Collin County, but from what we’re seeing, getting into this luxury market is never going to be this reasonably priced, and you can expect the prices to continue rising, providing you with a great investment while enjoying life in a wonderful community.

Collin County has a perfect place for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a country paradise and wooded lots with a small town feel or you’re hoping to find a spectacular home in a neighborhood that is in convenient proximity to Dallas, there’s a ideal house in Collin County waiting for you to call home.

Collin County is booming right now, and house prices are often the first thing that prospective buyers look at when trying to decide on the best neighborhood for them. This can be a good place to start, but just keep in mind that each of our cities have so much to offer and your decision should only start, but certainly not end here. This real estate “heat map” is a unique tool for buyers choosing the best neighborhood in Collin County, which shows the average list price per zip code, to help you gain a sense of which area would best suit your budget and family’s needs. But when it comes to amenities and lifestyle offerings, it can be much tougher to decide between all our wonderful cities and communities, from Prosper to Plano and all the communities in between, because Collin County really does have it all!

Many people relocating to Collin County are amazed by the quality of our schools, sports and entertainment facilities, shopping opportunities along with the proximity to nature and the great outdoors. Every city is truly wonderful, and it can be really difficult to choose which one would be best for you. The most important thing to evaluate when deciding between, say, Allen or Fairview, is to honestly think about what you and your family need from a home or a neighborhood. Is country living really for you or would you like to have closer proximity to your friends and neighbors? How long of a commute would be ideal for you? Think about which amenities are most important for you to be closest to, for example. Even decisions such as whether you are looking to place your children in private or public education can vary the opportunities you find appealing about one city over another. Starting your home search with these types of details already figured out will make it much easier because you will be able to begin the buying process looking not only at whether or not a house has the potential of becoming your home but also if the neighborhood and city are best suited to your needs for now and the future.

When you are looking to get to know which city would be ideal for your relocation, our skilled and hands-on team at Matlock Real Estate Group are here to make the process easy for you. In addition to compiling a list of resources for you to have at your fingertips while getting to know what each city offers, we pride ourselves on being a small, boutique firm who knows the luxury market of Collin County inside and out.
