Carrollton Texas Real EstateCarrollton Texas real estate can only be described as diverse. The price range and architectural styles of homes in the Carrollton TX real estate market reflects this. In any market, the easiest way to find the right property to suit your individual needs is to locate a Realtor that specializes in the kind of property you are looking for.
Carrollton has experienced several growth spurts over the years. Residential neighborhoods and shopping centers in the central and southern parts of the city were mostly developed in the late 1970’s and ‘80’s.
Since the year 2000, most of the new residential communities and shopping malls have been built in north Carrollton around Old Denton Road and Hebron Parkway. New restaurants line the Hebron Parkway corridor and there are plans for more retail development in that area.
If you are a retailer looking for commercial property to lease or purchase, a Carrollton Texas real estate agent that specializes in commercial property is the right choice. Community shopping centers in north Carrollton are almost fully occupied, but there is still much to choose from. The city government is making efforts to attract new businesses to the area and encourage retailers to consider existing properties in the central and southern portions of Carrollton.
On the other hand, if you are looking to buy a home, a Carrollton TX real estate agent that is a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) can best serve your needs. Another designation to look for is an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), which is a Realtor who has additional experience and education in representing the needs of the buyer. There are dozens of certifications that can help you determine which Carrollton Texas real estate agent is the right choice for you.
If you are selling Carrollton TX real estate, you may be aware that a Realtor can help you sell your property more easily and efficiently. Many buyers are unaware that a Realtor can represent their needs, as well. Often people shop for a home by looking through the Carrollton Texas real estate classifieds or MLS listings. This can be time consuming, as well as frustrating.
RE/MAX, an industry leader in real estate sales, recommends that buyers make a list of ten important factors that their new home must have and take the list to an agent. The Realtor can do the work of reviewing available properties for you, arrange showings and represent your interests in the transaction. These services are free to the buyer and can save time and maybe money, in the long run.
Price is typically one of the most important factors to homebuyers.
Currently there are nearly 600 different homes shown in the Carrollton TX real estate MLS listings. They range in price from $42,000 for a one bedroom condo to $824,900 for a 5 bedroom home in the Gates of Prestonwood. Homes built during the growth spurt of the ‘70s and ‘80s have much to offer, even golf course views and unique floor plans usually for less than $200,000.
Right now, the median price for a home in the Carrollton Texas real estate listings is $179,900. But, the median price for homes for sale is calculated monthly, so it could be different when you go shopping.
Location is important to homebuyers and retailers alike. The Carrollton Texas real estate market covers an area of over 36 square miles. Within 15 miles of Carrollton are Plano, Frisco and Dallas. Without the help of a good Realtor, one who listens to your needs and desires, you may spend hours and hours driving all over the northern Dallas area looking at properties in which you have no interest.
RE/MAX suggests that you interview Realtors you are considering. Make sure that they are good listeners, can answer your questions and do not interrupt you. If you are unhappy with the results of the interview, simply thank them for their time and interview a different Carrollton TX real estate agent. There are many to choose from.
Numerous interviews may seem time consuming, but it is time well spent. Much better than spending time looking at homes or other property that do not suit your needs.
Architectural style is important to some homebuyers. Many of the new homes in the Carrollton Texas real estate listings are found in Moore Farm. This is an ideal location for families looking for easy access to shopping, business and entertainment. Because of different builders and a variety of floor plans to choose from, the homes in this neighborhood cannot be described as cookie cutter. Models built by K. Hovnanian are both dramatic and functional.
Other builders include Grand Homes, with unique floor plans geared towards the family. Prices for homes in Moore Farm range from $350 to $600 thousand. They are located in North Carrollton near Hebron Parkway.
Good news for sellers is that the Carrollton Texas real estate market improved in the first months of the year. RE/MAX recommends that sellers interview Realtors as well. One of the most important things to sellers is setting the right price for their property. A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is a good tool for this purpose. A CMA shows what other similar properties in the area have sold for recently.
At the interview, ask the Realtor how he or she will decide on an asking price, what marketing techniques will be used and how much experience he or she has with Carrollton TX real estate. Again, if you are dissatisfied with the results of the interview, count the time as well spent and move on. Buyers and Realtors often spend months working together to sell a property. A good rapport is important.
