Which Little Elm communities have new homes?
Spiritas Ranch: developer Centurion American plans 40-, 50- and 60-foot lots, with builders such as First Texas, Lennar, Mattamy, Pulte and D.R. Horton. It is served by Denton ISD.
Valencia on the Lake: the developer lists builders including Beazer, First Texas and Mattamy. The community is assigned to Little Elm ISD.
Union Park: a Hillwood community north of US 380. It is served by Denton ISD's Union Park Elementary. Builder lineups change, so confirm who is building now before you visit.
How should I buy from a builder?
The model-home sales consultant works for the builder. Bring your own agent on your first visit, or register your agent before you walk in. Many builders only honor representation from that first visit.
Texas publishes new home contract forms for incomplete and completed construction. But builders often use their own agreement. Review completion dates, earnest money, upgrade deposits and delay terms with your agent before you sign.
Incentives usually come as upgrades or closing-cost help, not a lower base price. Compare any preferred-lender offer with an outside loan estimate.
Do I need inspections on a new home?
Yes. Hire your own inspector for a pre-drywall inspection and a final inspection. Schedule one more check before the builder's warranty period ends. Keep every warranty document.
What PID and district taxes come with new homes?
The Town has created PIDs for Valencia on the Lake, Valencia PID No. 2, Spiritas Ranch, Spiritas East, Hillstone Pointe PID No. 2, Lakeside Estates PID No. 2 and the Rudman Tract. Each bills an annual assessment with your property taxes. Paloma Creek, along US 380, is served by Denton County fresh water supply districts that levy their own tax.
Sellers must give you a written notice before you sign on a home in a MUD or PID. Compare the full monthly cost in the mortgage calculator, and read how property taxes work in Little Elm.
