2006 Watters Crossing Sales Report

Dear Watters Crossing Neighbor:

Another year gone…does anyone know how to slow this ride down?  It seems like it was only yesterday when our family moved to Watters Crossing from Richardson, but it was 1995 (and I have the hair-line or lack there of, to prove it)!  In 1995 our three children were in the 8th, 6th and 1st grades, respectively.  Today, two of our three children have graduated from college, and our youngest will be out of the nest and off to college in the Fall.  We moved to Allen because we felt the schools were excellent, and we fell in love with Watters Crossing.  We still feel the same way on both counts.

Here is the full year real estate report for Watters Crossing for 2006 compared to 2005, 2004, and 2003.

As the numbers show, 2006 was a banner year for Watters Crossing home sales, across the board.  The average square foot price (ASF) was an all-time high, the average days-on-the-market (DOM) fell by almost half from prior year, and the total number of homes sold, though not at the level of 2004, compared favorably to 2005 and 2003.  Two of the seven Watters Crossing homes I sold in 2006 were on the market for less than a week (one sold for more than list price!) and another brought $330,000.00 (without a pool) which was the highest sales price in our neighborhood for the year.

A number of you have asked if I sell homes anywhere other than Watters Crossing.  The answer is, absolutely!  Most years, more than 60% of my sales are outside of the neighborhood.  I’ve listed and sold homes in Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Lucas, Fairview, Richardson, Dallas, Irving, Van Alstyne, Southlake, and even Ft. Worth, in addition to other neighborhoods here in Allen.  So, if changing circumstances call for you to move out of Watters Crossing, but you plan on remaining in the area, give me a call.  If I work with you on the sale of your current home as well as a home purchase, I can save you some money, and we’ll find the perfect home to fit your needs.  My home office number is 972-390-2664, or drop by my house and I’ll put on a cup of coffee!

Best Regards,

Will Richardson
