Touring a Stunning New Build in Dallas TX with Huge Incentives in a Booming Community!

Hey, if you're thinking about buying a new construction home or you're relocating to the Dallas Fort Worth area, today we are in one of the fastest growing areas in the country. We're in Salina, Texas and we're in a brand new community and we're showcasing this beautiful model home behind me. If you love the tall ceilings, if you want second bedrooms with primary suites downstairs, you're absolutely gonna fall in love with today's model and you're not gonna believe the pricing on this. The discounts and incentives, it's insane. Let's not waste any time. Let's get inside and let's get started with today's model home tour. All right, guys. Hey, welcome inside today's model home tour. Soon as you walk in the door, absolutely, we have to start with looking up because this home delivers those soaring two-story ceilings right in the main entrance. The reason we start there, guys, is listen, every single time we connect with you. By the way, we get calls, texts, emails every single day with people moving and looking for new construction in North Dallas. And when I say, hey, what's on your must-have list? It's that right there. Everyone's saying tall ceiling. So we always start, we wanna show it off every time we can, but I love the width here of this entrance. Oversized, beautiful hardwood floors. You can see how the sight lines carry all the way through to the back of the house. You're absolutely gonna love the open concept living area there. But before we get back there, let me show you this secondary suite on the main level here. So right off the front of the house, if you come on in here with me, this is a bedroom on the main level. Now, this is actually a structural add-on. This, traditionally in the base house, is a bedroom. What you can configure here is whether or not you wanna have this as a suite. So in the base model, the bathroom is not inside the actual bedroom. It's in the hallway and it's more of a shared bathroom. Here, if you go around the corner and you walk in, you see this has been converted to the suite option with the full bath and walk-in closet there. So if you are looking for a secondary suite, a guest suite, this is a perfect structural add-on that you wanna consider. And obviously you can see it's got the oversized closet as well. So when you do go with the suite option, you get the, obviously the bathroom, but that does include the oversized closet as well. And you got a really good size room here, very tall ceilings, nine foot ceilings. I love the accent wall that they did here. This is all decor. These elements right here, they look amazing in the model homes. I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. If you love these type of wood decor accent walls, these are things that I would absolutely assist you in getting done outside of closing because you could save yourself some money on the budget with some of our vendors who could do that for a fraction of the cost. But beautiful suite. Remember, this is a structural add-on, the secondary suite down here, but let's go check out the rest of the home here. This opening here will be closed off. That's your two-car garage right now. It's being used as the sales center. So if you come around the corner here, by the way, you see the open railing system. If you like this setup, this is standard. There is a curved staircase option with this floor plan as well. But if you come into the utility room, so this is your washer dryer setup here, you see the doorway here. So this would be for your garage. You'd be able to walk right in through your utility room at your washer dryer setup here. And then you've got this big space here with a plug. So a lot of people here do like to add a secondary refrigerator. You'd be able to do that right here in this room. It's fairly close to your kitchen, which we're gonna check out here in a second. But this room right here, take a look at this home study, this home office, this beautiful picture window here, these double doors. Let me close this because you kind of get the full feel here. The three-door setup here, those are two are stationary. This is a swing door. This is a beautiful design element that they did here. I've never seen anything like that in any of the homes that we toured. So leave me a comment. Do you like that triple door view here? But great home office. If you need a home study, home office, which so many of you do, again, this is probably a must-have in today's world. You got an oversized room here. I mean, look, you got a good size desk here. You can put this credenza here and then tons of space. They did all the wood accent walls. You can see this is a big thing now. Again, we can help you with that, but beautiful decor on this. I like how they carried the hardwood floors in through here. And again, you've got nice tall ceilings. They did put, you can see the recess lights in here. That's a huge upgrade as well. I highly recommend it in office spaces like this, even though you have the three windows, as much light as you possibly can. Now we're gonna spin around because I'm gonna show you another upgrade that they did. So if you make the bedroom up front an en suite, you're gonna wanna do this as well with the powder bath because when you have guests, this is where your guests are gonna be able to use the bathroom. So this here, again, is outside of what would be the standard base finish out of this home. Now guys, when it comes to design center elements and things like that, that's why you gotta reach out to me. We can help walk you through where you should spend a little bit of money, where you can save a little bit of money. My goal is to build you your perfect home, but also as an asset, you want this home to be worth money one day in the future. These two structural upgrades are things we would highly recommend. But again, that's why you gotta reach out to us. Give me a call, shoot me a text, send me an email. We'd love to help you in the new construction process. Here we've got a little coat closet. Okay, you can see the builder stuffed some stuff in there, some supplies, but get yourself a good coat closet. Now let's get into the main part of the home here. See, we walk into our living room, and again, 20 foot plus ceilings here. Again, these elements, the builder's done such a great job on this model because they've built the home with so many standard features that are items that you guys ask for all the time. Secondary guests, tall high ceilings already incorporated with this model. This fireplace here is an add-on. So you get the corner fireplace. I love what they did here with the, this is probably a 12 by 24 ceramic tile. They went floor to ceiling here. So many things that you can do. Again, this is a design center element. And one of the things we're gonna talk about today is I'm gonna give you some insight on how much money the average buyer's actually spending in design center. So I'll share that with you here in a little bit. But you've got, again, the massive ceilings. I like how they did a little niche cutout here, recessed the TV in. This little built-in piece here, this is a nice built-in. Gives you a nice little, you know, some storage place to put some stuff on. But again, what I like about it is it's recessed in so it does not take away from any of the living space. And then along the back half of the wall, we've got three windows, tall windows here, nine foot windows. And then we have our three upper windows that the builders incorporated. The reason I point those out is because this home has an oversized patio. There's the standard, there's the oversized, and then there's a mega patio extension that you can do on this floor plan. So when you have this, obviously it's gonna cover some of the natural sunlight. So putting those three windows up top, nice touch with the builder. And then as we come into the heart of the home, the kitchen, they've done a fantastic job in here. I love the huge oversized island we have here. Great overhang. You've got plenty of seating for four. They did such a nice job. It's got the white with some of the natural gray veins running through here. Stainless steel sink. Just a really nice job. Also, one of the things you'll notice is we've got our white cabinets, the perimeter cabinets, all white. And then the island with that darker, almost a black color paint to it. So they are hitting that two-tone paint. Again, another design center element that we are seeing that is very, very, very popular. So good size kitchen. Again, you can see the beautiful stone here. They've got the vent hood where they carry that ceramic tile all the way up through on both ends of that. Again, that's a design center element. But those little things definitely make the house pop. We've got the black door pulls. All of these things are things you get to choose in the design center. So don't worry about the colors. Those are all things that we can help you with. You get to personalize this home any way that you like. But this is cool too. A lot of people love the drawers that pull out for storage of pots and pans. So upgrading this centerpiece here, put some of your pots and pans underneath the gas cooktop is a nice touch. We do have our corner pantry. So kind of in the corner there, we got shelves on both sides. It is a pantry, nothing special about a pantry, but you guys do like when we show them so you can see. Then we've got our wall of built-ins here. So you've got your oven, your microwave, and then here, again, refrigerators, by the way, it's a good time to point this out. Refrigerators are not included as a fixture here in Texas. So something you do have to consider, but I do like how they went with the cabinet depth flush mount. So it doesn't come out, gives you more space between the counter and the refrigerator. So refrigerator is something you're gonna have to get in new construction. Just keep that in mind. Now, as we come through over here, we've got our dining area. I like to refer to this more as the casual dining. It's not the formal dining set at the front of the home. This is something you're gonna use all the time and you can see how big it is. Here, we've got seating for six and you've got plenty of room to walk around. The other cool part about this is there's windows wrapped around this entire room. So you can see how much natural light. By the way, today, it is a dark overcast day, rainy, and you can still see how much of that natural light finds its way into this room. So I love having, by the way, I'd love to get your guys' feedback. Do you prefer these new kind of casual dining spaces or do you still like the formal secluded dining areas in the front of the home? I'd love to get your guys' feedback to see where that trend is heading. Now, we'll head outside because, in my opinion, having a large covered patio is almost a must-have here in Dallas. Typically, when you're watching my videos, it is bright, sunny, and hot. Well, we do get some rain once in a while and you can sit out here and still enjoy having your covered patio. This option of this extended patio does come with this outdoor kitchen. So there's a cost to this structural, but you get the oversized covered patio and you get the kitchen. So if you love cooking outside, you love barbecuing, this is something you may absolutely wanna consider. And this specific home that we're showing is on a 50-foot lot. This is a 50-foot product. The builder here currently has 50 and 60-foot opportunities, but what we're showing you is a home that fits on the 50s. So let's head back inside and let's get continuing with our tour. All right, so downstairs, there's one more room and that room is back here in the corner. That is your primary suite. Now, they did some additional structural upgrades in that room that I think you guys are really gonna love. But before we do that, there's a whole second level to this home with a media room add-on as well. So let's go take a look at that and then we'll come back and take a look at the primary suite. All right, we are upstairs. Beautiful, beautiful game room here. One of the things, if you've been watching our videos, you know all of these Texas homes, we're known for having these huge open loft game rooms. And this one is absolutely massive. But what I love about this, and I hope you guys can see, ceiling height. This is probably, well, let's take a look. We probably got a almost eight-foot door, so almost 10-foot ceilings on the second floor of this home. Very hard to find that anywhere. So I love how they push the ceilings up here, giving you a ton of space. Got your pool table, more windows. I mean, windows everywhere. You can also see we've got the balcony there and the balcony in the front. So the sight lines up here are incredible. You got a view to the open balcony downstairs to your living room. Your staircase has a balcony look. And then right here to your front with your chandelier all the way down to the main entrance. So absolutely beautiful. And then take a look at this. All right, if you love media rooms, check this out. Look at the size of this media room. By the way, we do have the step-down. I love this design. I don't know why, but I just, it feels like with the multiple levels, just makes it feel like an actual theater with a step-down. See how they did the two couches in here? If you love to entertain, you love movies, even sports, this is a awesome room. I love how they darken the color in here. There's no windows. Everything is pre-wired in here. You've got your surround sound, but this is one of the larger, definitely one of the larger media rooms you'll find, especially in this price range and budget. I feel like sometimes the builders just try to fit them in, but this is huge. I absolutely, absolutely love this media room, theater. So let's keep going. There's so much more up here, but man, I love those two steps and those levels. Changes up the flow of the entire house. Let's come on back here. We do have another bedroom. Got our baseball theme in here. Love that. Texas Rangers plaque up here. So good size bedroom. So got a very nice size bedroom. It's got the Texas Ranger blue accent wall, large windows. Then you do have a walk-in closet. Look at the size of that closet. You could never, ever have too much closet space in Texas. I promise you that having that much space. So again, good size room, but when you've got closets like that, you don't need big furniture for storage. You can utilize your closet. This is an en suite bath and bedroom combination as well. It's always nice to have an additional en suite upstairs. Sometimes if you've got multiple kids like me and it becomes who gets the en suite bedroom. So you'll have to figure that out for yourself, but I like how that bedroom's on the front of the house. And then as we come around the loft, we can come down here. You do have another full bath here. Now this is gonna be obviously because if you're entertaining upstairs in your game room, in media room, this is kinda be that shared bathroom here. I like how they did that tile. I mean, that's a pretty cool tile. Really cool. I like how they vertically stacked it like that. Change up the lines here. Good size room. And then outside of that, you've got a little linen closet. That's actually pretty big, pretty deep. Plenty of room for some storage. And then we got another bedroom up here. So again, good size bedroom. The ceiling heights in these bedrooms are super tall. I mean, you're talking 10 foot ceilings primarily throughout the entire second level of this home. You really don't see that. A lot of times they'll go to like a nine foot ceiling, but these are really tall. And another good size walk-in closet. Got the mirror. We could all say hello. That's a pretty unique design there with the mirror. So plenty of hanging on all sides there, but I really like the size of these bedrooms. So that's the upstairs. We've got two bedrooms up here, two full baths, game room, and the media room. Let's go take a look at that primary suite because I know that's what you're dying to see. So let's go check it out. All right, here we are. That primary suite. Come on in here with me. Take a look at the size of the primary suite here. Definitely an oversized primary suite. We've got the super high cathedral style ceilings there. They've got some recess speakers in here, but this is a, this amazing primary suite. I love their use of color in this model here. We kind of got that dark kind of charcoal gray, the use of the wood here and creating another accent wall really defines the space, but you could see how big this room is. This is a gigantic bed, your two end tables, and you can see how much space you have to walk around here. Now, one of the structural add-ons that they did do in this floor plan is that they did the bow window in the back of the house here. So that basically takes what would have stopped your wall here, and it adds probably about three, three and a half feet of additional depth. Basically everywhere you see these sitting chairs here, this is all the extra space that was created by doing that. I really, really love this aspect. So let me tell you, when I built a home, I did not opt in for this. We were in a new community, you know, just looking for new construction. You don't know what you don't know. That's why you need to give me a call, shoot me a text, send me an email. We can help you avoid the mistakes that you'll regret later like I do. I regret not doing this because when I saw a similar home as mine with this, it changed the entire dynamics of the space, just gives you a good like eyesight line when you walk in, a vocal point when you kind of come in, you see this in the depth of the room changes. It's not just square. So one of the things I regret when building, but my goal is to make sure you don't regret anything. So absolutely give me a call. We can help you with all of those decisions and things you want to think about when you are building. But let's take a look at the suite, the primary bath. Take a look at this oversized tub here. I love that as a stand alone fixture. It doesn't have the wall or anything that kind of, you know, the old school drop-in tubs. You've got a big oversized standalone, beautiful tub here. We do have split vanities. So you've got an vanity over here on this wall and huge window too. I like how the, see the builder didn't frost this out, but they did think about you guys and they did put a blind in here. So you've got that. And then here's your second vanity. So second with the makeup area here. So this niche is cut out, very cool design. So, and I know this is huge. We actually asked, we did a survey a while back on our channel and overwhelmingly people responded. Yes, yes, they like when the builders incorporate those makeup areas. So really, I like the openness of this space. And then as you come on back here, you've got your stand walk-up, walk-in shower. The dark black tile really just creates a cool mood in here. It's different than everything else. It's got your mud in pan, but I like how this is kind of secluded. It kind of makes me feel almost like a little spa shower right there. And then to the back, we have our walk-in closet here. So you've got plenty of storage. You can see the length, the amount of hanging throughout here. And the ceilings are tall too. So if you did want to add a third level of hanging, you could do that. Lots you can do in this walk-in closet. So you could do a bank of drawers there. You can really do a lot to customize this. Now here, you're going to have your toilet area. We've all seen the toilet area, but you do have some additional storage in there too. Another linen closet. So good use of space. We need a lot of space here. Remember, we don't have basements in Texas. So this is the primary suite. I hope you guys enjoyed the tour. You're probably asking yourself how much and where is this home located? So I'm going to go share with you the no BS pricing, tell you everything you need to know about the neighborhood, the builder, the community. So let's get after that right now. All right, guys, hope you enjoyed the tour. Now let's talk about where we're located. Let's start off with the community that we are in today. This is the Hillside Village community located in Salina, Texas. This is a prime location. You're absolutely going to love where this community is located. It's about a minute off of Preston Road, which is your main artery north-south here in the Prosper Salina area. But literally within two to three minutes, you're going to have access to the brand new HEB shopping. You're going to have access to the brand new Costco's. So you are in the heartbeat of where all the development is. Salina is one of the fastest growing cities in the country right now. And you are in the heartbeat of Salina, about three to four minutes away from the downtown, which is an awesome area being revitalized now. Great little shops, boutiques, and just food options down there as well. So location, this is an A plus location. Now being in Salina, we are in the Salina ISD school district. Believe it or not, as a real estate agent, we can't guide you when it comes to schools. What I can tell you are some of the best resources. So go check out niche.com or greatschools.org. What you'll see when you get there is this Salina schools are rated as an A rated school district. And there's a ton of great info specifically about the high school and their academics and graduation, just really highly rated. Go check that out for yourself. Now, when you're looking at this community, being in Salina, being in Salina ISD, and you talk about taxes, we are at a 2% property tax. There is a PID assessment in this neighborhood, and it's about $2,000 per year. Now I say about, because it could be a little less, depending on your lot size. There's 50 and 60 foot lots in this community. Each PID is going to be assessed different based on your lot size. But again, here's something to keep in mind. This builder has been known to have different incentive packages to where they're assisting with that PID assessment, because it could be paid all at once, and then you would have no PID and just have a flat 2% property tax. All of that being said, you have to keep in mind, we just got some very exciting news from Texas. They're increasing the homestead exemption from 100,000 to $140,000 homestead exemption, which is going to absolutely provide massive relief when it comes to property taxes. So that just got passed. That's really gonna help our homeowners in the future here bring down that tax rate. So great information there. The HOA, the community in itself is about $75 per month. That isn't going to include the pool, the playground, the walking trails, everything that this community has. Let me make sure we're not missing anything. I wanna give you everything that you need to know about the community. There's a dog park, there's over a mile of walking trails through here, and then the pool with the pavilions as well at the pool that is all under construction right now. So incredibly affordable on all fronts there. Now, the builder that we're showcasing today is Coventry Homes, and this is their Mineola floor plan here. Absolutely beautiful floor plan. As a base home, let me give you the specs on it as a base. You're looking at 2,990 square feet with a four bed, four bath, two story, two car garage option. There are some structural elements that we did to this home here that I wanna make sure we point out to you as well. Again, we have the extended bay window in the primary suite. We took the secondary bedroom on the main level, converted that into a guest suite. We added the powder bath down here, and upstairs added the media room, as well as doing the extended covered patio with the kitchen. So those are some of the structural add-ons. Now let's get to the part everybody wants, and that's the no BS pricing. As a base model home here, the price starts at $625,000. The home we showcase, the model home, that's gonna put you somewhere between about $725,000. You could be as high as $750,000 before discounts and design. So keep that in mind. Discounts and designs come off of that. Realistically, most people right now are spending right at around $700,000 to $725,000 for this home with the structural add-ons that we just showcased. And the best way to show you that is to actually look at some inventory options. They have two mini Ola floor plans. Now, when you do add the guest suite option, you do add the media room, you're adding some additional square foot. So this home comes in at about 3,285 square feet with all the structural add-ons. Four beds, four full baths with the half bath option. And right now there are two available. One is $707,000 and the other is $736,000. That is the sticker price that does not take into consideration the discounts and the deals that we can get you on inventory move-in ready. So if you're looking for something fast and you're looking for an incredible deal, there are two right now on the market. There's also four lots available to build this specific floor plan on. So if you're looking for ground-up design, we can absolutely do that as well. So you've got plenty of options. Our no BS pricing is gonna put you right around that $700,000 to $725,000 price range. So if you're in that market and you loved what you saw today, absolutely give me a call, shoot me a text, send me an email. Now there are several other floor plans, as I mentioned, 50s and 60 foot options in this community. So maybe you didn't love this floor plan, but you liked everything you heard about the location, pricing, and you wanna get some more information, reach out. We can connect you, whether it be this builder or any other builder in the market. We'd love to help you. Take care, guys. By the way, if you wanna see some additional floor plans of model homes in this community with some of the other builders, we'll pop up a video right over here. You can see all the other model homes here in the community. Take care.
