<p>This absolutely gorgeous custom home was the Sotherby model, the plan now being marketed by Shaddock Homes as  Plan 6214.  This beautiful home is loaded with every possible model home luxury upgrade and feature offered by this custom builder, including: stunning hand scraped wood through most of the first floor, tile and slate in the kitchen and bathrooms, and with high quality carpeting in the bedrooms and upstairs game and media rooms.  You can&#8217;t help but notice unique custom decorator light fixtures, beautiful iron balusters lining the spiral staircase to the second floor entertainment centers, custom faux paint, textures and finishes, custom designer drapes and window coverings.  The owner who enjoys cooking is certain to love this chef&#8217;s dream kitchen with granite counters, ceramic tile, commercial like stainless steel appliances.  Entertain your guests in the lush backyard and beautiful custom pool including a rock slide, waterfalls, and spa, all that are viewed from the time you enter the foyer and throughout the first floor. The large backyard has room for entertaining, pets and play.  The new owner will be proud to welcome their most discriminating guest to this beautiful luxury property.</p>
<p>This property is conveniently located just minutes from the Dallas North Tollway, within 10 minutes of Legacy Business Park and the Metroplex&#8217;s two newest malls, Stonebriar Centre in Frisco and The Shops at Willow Bend in Plano.  One of the fastest growing communities in North Texas, Frisco is renowned for its outstanding quality of life and excellent local schools. This neighborhoods is served by some of the newest schools within the Frisco Independent School District, which is currently the largest school district in Texas to be rated &#8220;Exemplary&#8221; by the Texas Education Agency.</p>
<p>Frisco is a modern boom town and one of the fastest growing communities in the U.S. The population currently stands at about 102,000, with estimates that it will double that in another decade or two. Clearly, something draws people to this city. Just what might that be?<br />
Call it quality of life. There is much to see, do, be, and participate in. First, there&#8217;s the sports. Frisco is home to the FC Dallas professional soccer team, as well as the Frisco Roughriders, a AA team affiliated with the Texas Rangers, and the Texas Tornado junior hockey team.</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s the public art, for which Frisco is known. The Texas Sculpture Garden displays dozens of large-scale pieces, along with 100 smaller pieces scattered through the office park location. The largest themed bronze sculpture collection in the country depicts the cattle drives along the Shawnee Trail that is Frisco&#8217;s history. Cattle sculptures, waterfall and native Texas landscaping offer a perfect setting for walking, picnics and biking in Central Park. More public art is all over the city, ranging from bronze sculptures of bison and cattlemen from the past to more modern works.</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s the multitude of festivals, featuring everything from gymnastics and drum corps competitions to storytelling and music, and of course, Texas beef.<br />
Frisco&#8217;s history is all about the western spirit. The Shawnee Trail brought the first settlers, who followed the buffalo herds. Cattlemen used the trail for their enormous cattle drives in the 1800s. Eventually, the St. Louis-San Francisco Railroad was built along the same route, which is how Frisco was named</p>

If you bought or sold a home just one year ago, things have changed to the point that you may not recognize today&#8217;s process. If you are considering buying or selling and would like to meet with us to discuss how this market works for you, please call, text or email The Doane Realty Group at 214-755-3378 or <a href="realestate@doanerealtygourp.com">realestate@doanerealtygroup.com.</a></p>

<p>Today&#8217;s Real Estate Market is changing daily along with Mortgage guidelines that are also changing to the point that we make it our constant emphasis on staying up on the trends and what we need to do to guide our clients through this process. If you bought or sold a home just one year ago, things have changed to the point that you may not recognize today&#8217;s process. If you are considering buying or selling and would like to meet with us to discuss how this market works for you, please call, text or email The Doane Realty Group at 214-755-3378 or <a href="realestate@doanerealtygourp.com">realestate@doanerealtygroup.com.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <span style="font-size: small;">After the real estate crash decimated the mortgage market, a tiny government agency has assumed an outsize role in the housing recovery. In 2006, the Federal Housing Administration—which insures home loans against default—backed just 3 percent of new home-purchase mortgages. But today, the agency insures nearly 3 out of every 10 new home loans. That’s because while banks have raised their lending standards, credit requirements for FHA-backed loans have remained fairly liberal. But after a recent actuarial study concluded that the housing swoon has dragged the agency’s reserves below its congressionally mandated level, the FHA is facing mounting political pressure to increase borrower requirements as well&#8230;<a href="http://stevedoane.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/FHA-New-Criteria.pdf">CLICK HERE</a> to read the entire article.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More than three years into a painful housing crash, the real estate market has sent recent—albeit tentative—signs of stabilization. Home sales have increased, inventory levels are down, and price declines have become less precipitous. Along with more affordable home prices and attractive mortgage rates—which remained below 5 percent as of late June—have been a driving force behind this development. The availability of low mortgage rates will play a decisive role in the performance of the 2010 housing market as well.
