That kitchen! I have more Highland tours on my channel if you’re interested. And if you find a favorite neighborhood give me a shout and we can discuss further.

I’ve got some great tours of 1 stories on my channel. Look at my Perry Homes videos, they do a great job of spacious 1 stories. The one in Somerset Park is my favorite! But they also have some other great neighborhoods in Rockwall area. Hillstead in Lavon and The Terraces. Also check out my video of Shaddock in Parker Texas. BIG floor plans of 1 stories. If you check out my Monterra series in Fate Texas, I also have David Weekley 1 story tour, KHOV farmhouse 1 story, and Highland 1 story tour. And in Heath Golf and Yacht club I have the Stonefield Homes 1 story tour. Lots of choices and lots of tours! Go through those and then contact me and we can find the right neighborhood and favorite builder of yours. 👍

I have an SEO guy. Can you give me a report that says my SEO is bad? Because from what I’m seeing, it’s fine.

@@ScottBaxterRealtor ok

How will your video go viral if you don't optimize the video SEO properly, SEO is very important for video virality. To increase your views and subscribers, use SEO to keep your videos first on KZbin to give you some tips for free on how to make your site more brandable. How can we talk to you?

I understand where you’re coming from, but the project isn’t dead. The original developer did pull out in 2019, but a new group, Sapphire Bay Land Holdings LLC, took over. While the fire at one of the apartment complexes caused delays, they’ve filed with insurance and are rebuilding. Timelines have shifted, but progress is still ongoing. I spoke directly with the main developer this year, and he assured me that the project is alive and moving forward. Also, it’s important to clarify that Sapphire Bay is not just apartments. There are 68 three-story lakefront homes built by KHOV Homes, priced originally in the $700K range but now valued at $900K within just one year - an impressive ROI of 28.5%. These homes, most of which are lakefront, sold out quickly, proving strong demand and confidence in this project. I get the skepticism - a project of this scale hasn’t been done in this area before, so it’s easy to doubt. That said, I don’t mislead my clients. I share the most accurate and up-to-date information available, and time will ultimately tell.

I understand your concern about the property taxes - they’re definitely steep at this price point compared to other states. However Rockwall county is 1.56% tax rate. That’s lower than most of DFW. This does have a MUD which puts it around 2%. That’s to ensure your neighborhood will look sparkling clean 20 years from now. It’s a trade off- money for nice things. And also, this is the highest-end neighborhood in the area, featuring a private golf course with a $25,000 membership fee. Think of it like Highland Park, Southlake, or Frisco - it’s where people with the means to afford $1M+ homes choose to invest. If they can afford homes at this price point, property taxes are usually just part of the lifestyle. That said, if this feels like too much, I’d recommend checking out my new video coming out this week on Perry Homes in Lavon, Texas. These homes start in the $490s and offer great pricing with A+ schools. Also, in Lavon, you can find homes starting in the mid-$200s - perfect for anyone looking for affordability without sacrificing quality. Keep an eye out for my upcoming videos on Lavon and Elevon - low crime, excellent schools, and pricing that may better match your budget. Let me know how I can help you find the right fit!

Aw much appreciated guys! Let’s find that home! 👏🙌

In Heath? Or around the area? There are pockets of Heath that are affordable for used homes. But I think Lavon has some great affordable new builds. We should get on a call or email and discuss details. 945-244-0342. [email protected]

Thanks for watching. Recheck it after tonight then send me results . My SEO guy should have it done by then.

@@ScottBaxterRealtor ok thanks

@zalalahamed2092well what’s the verdict?

Fates population is only 12% of McKinneys. And home pricing is 22% less expensive in Fate. Both are great places to raise a family. Fate has a small town feel. McKinney feels busy. Both towns are around 30 miles away from Dallas. They are widening roads to DFW from Fate currently. So if you’re looking for a small town feel with lower pricing on homes- Fate might be a good choice. If you have more of a budget and would like to be in the mix- McKinney offers a lot of entertainment especially downtown area. If you want we can get on a call to go deeper into this for you. 945-244-0342. Call anytime!

Texas has some great deals. Don’t have to be a multi millionaire. But you do need to have at least $750k to spend. Let me know if I can represent you through the process!

It’s great! Let me know if I can help you with any of the builders.

Thank you. Let me know if I can help you move to DFW.

Thanks for watching! Fun fact: Grand Homes has 30% more windows than any other builder. There are multiple plans to choose from. I bet you would find one that has enough light if you looked. 😁 I would roll into my videos and check out other Grand Homes tours. I have many!

@ we are looking to move to Dallas and looking for 5000+ sft properties, liked this model but turned off by lack of natural light. There is another grand homes model in Heath that has tons of windows and butterfly stairs.

@@salimsarfaraz9923 yes! Heath Golf and Yacht club has some great ones. We should chat. Can you give me a call at (945) 244-0342? 2 that come to mind are the Grand Legacy and the Grand Silverleaf. Both have the dual staircases. And LOTS of light. I have videos on both of these. Text me and I can send you links.

Dallas is a big melting pot of all walks of life. It’s easier to save money on the outskirts of Dallas where home pricing is less. These spaces are also growing commercially as well. Which would be a good spot to open a business.

@ScottBaxterRE Thanks you 👍🏽

Let me know how I can help 😁 Don’t ever be afraid to use the contact information above, I’m always available.

It is an option to do that yes! All options are figured out in the Grand Homes meeting when I set you up. Out of all the Grand Homes this one is my favorite for families. Contact me at my email or phone posted at the top of comments for more information.

Thanks for the comment! Yes you can do it cheaper on your own piece of land further out. This is in a premier golf community on a lake with some major amenities and a social lifestyle. For those that desire a community on a daily basis, homes here can be the perfect fit. For those wishing to have their own plot and their own build, that’s another way to do it! There is no wrong way. Just the right way for you.

Where are you thinking of moving to?

email it I'll take a look

@@ScottBaxterRealtor Ok Please Check Your email

It would be best to get a hold of me via email or text for this question.

No they are only in Dallas. 🤷 Sorry!

Well Dallas is better than Orlando anyways. Pack up and head over! 😉

​@@ScottBaxterRealtor lol

​@ScottBaxterRealtor I agree with the floor plans ❤

Different strokes for different folks! That’s why you build. Then you can pick exactly what you want or not want in your house. Including the islands 😉 let me know if I can help you get your journey started building a Grand Home in this or another neighborhood. 👍

After this video I give you a link for another video with more choices. And asking price is just that. We can offer lower.

Right??

Well it would be kind of like having Disney world next door (in much smaller fashion). But with all things the size, when and if it brings people in to visit, there would be many air bnb opportunities. But as of now, the only thing around are cheap homes that need work. It’s a long play. No guarantees. I personally think investing in Rockwall is a smarter choice. It’s the next McKinney.

@@ScottBaxterRealtor we had similar at Windsong Ranch - We have the lagoon and now Universal Studios literally building next door 👍🏽

Thank you! I put my all into these videos from filming to editing.

Thanks for stopping by @carltonlewis !
