How many of those are new construction?

I would guess a few hundred at least

Depends on the builder if they put them in the mls or not. Many don't.

The vast majority up here in Celina are added

Live in far east prosper. Have about 18-20 for sale out of 400 homes or so. One guy is military and reassigned. Talked with two more… youngest kid graduated HS so selling and downsizing. The 400,000+ gains seen in 10 years helps pays for school and gets a smaller home with plenty down.

Long time prosper resident here

The city is very transient now. People come for jobs, people leave for jobs.

People move for schools. Kids graduate, they downsize and leave.

Property taxes eat you alive in Texas in a big home where valuations go up 10% every year. Median price in prosper now is like 870k or something like that. That's ~$21k in property taxes.

I think there are lots of people that overbought. Sections of our hood were basically being sold sight unseen at the height…. 1.5mm++. I bet many of those have now lost 10%+ equity on that.

Also, many people that move here don't understand property taxes and mortgage lenders do people no favors understanding the homestead exemption.

Was talking to two families that are listed right now:

"Just want to see what we can get, if we can get what we paid, we're moving to Tennessee". Just up and moving.

I think insurance, gas, taxes, and keeping up with the joneses has stretched many too thin.

When I find out that there's a realtor, underwater basket weaving influencer, engineer, etc with a SAHM living in a 1.2mm house, it makes no sense to me.

Now I see the unraveling.

"mishandled" is being nice. Your client is ****ing moron. God willing tax payers aren't in the hook.

Wrong forum.

Argyle went from <1% Asian when we bought 2 years ago to >8% this year. Don't know where they're all coming from but there's a little cabal of them at our HOA meetings that all sit together and band together to try to get things passed.

Indian or Oriental?

100% Indian

This is a new build going for $1.3 million in Prosper. Is it just me or is that some really strange architecture?

I have 3 friends selling their house there to move down towards the Ellis County side. Said every house on his street now is foreign family's with sometimes 12-16 people living in the home. Crazy times for north Texas.

The single generation single family residence is a very western concept.

Multiple generations in a SFR in the East is I think the norm.

Then again I wonder how much food stamp fraud and other assistance is going on with that too... Our system really isn't setup to multigenerational households

We need Nick Shirley to spend some time in Texas investigating.

Build em high and let them fly.

I partially blame the builders for allowing 2 master suites in their floorplans these days.

Mama Ganesh can come stay for months at a time.

Then we should say that. This new found trend of using Asian for Indians makes me insane.

---

The British government does the same thing with the middle eastern muslims. They call them Asians. Sure it's technically correct, but we all know that they are just trying to tie them in with the much better behaved Far East Asians.

I suspect the crime rate will skyrocket with all these Indians moving to the area...

Not really my style, but i think it looks kind of interesting, except for the 1 car garage

Split garage, swing style. It's likely a 3.5 car garage.

It isn't just H1Bs. Some people overbought. Some WAY overbought.

Had a case -- foreclosure plus eviction matter -- that I handled some of. Talked to the guy. They bought a 1.5 mil house about 2 years prior (this was late 2025; Nov, I think). I don't know what they put down, but I don't think they ever made a payment on time -- and certainly not a full payment. I talked to the guy. We didn't go over the numbers in a detailed way but I think he had a good year as a realtor and thought it was going to continue forever. He probably needed to be in something half of what he bought -- 2/3 at the most. Plus, I think his interest rate was astronomical.

Well, he mishandled his foreclosure/eviction about as much as anyone I've ever seen. He spent 4 grand to get someone to write a petition for wrongful foreclosure in the District Court while the eviction process was going on. He was on his own after it was filed -- it was a 30+ page law review article, if you will, with no chance of success upon easy challenges. Plus, he either repaired or put in a new AC unit and that high end fridge AFTER he got a notice to vacate because he was sure he was going to be able to stay in the property.

I don't know how the district court proceeded but the JP granted the eviction and set a $17.5K bond to appeal. I looked at the house on Redfin or something and it was indeed a nice house. Not sure it was worth 1.5 but prob 1.2.

This. And this is only just the beginning. Big trouble is coming.

I figured that's where the driveway that looks like it continues to the left was going.

No. Right there in the middle. Double door is facing straight left. That window in the front is into the garage.

They are all moving to Grimes County...

You know, I thought so too. We're not there yet. I can't seem to negotiate a used golf cart down that far. Cars are still super expensive. Restaurants packed.

I think Texas is just getting expensive and people are going to even lower COL areas. More rural southeast.

More rural Texas. Oklahoma. Kansas.

Wealthy boomers are propping this sucker up because they're still heavy equities and living the Gotdamn good life.

They still have pensions, taxes frozen on a 300k mansion that's now worth 850k. Ranch they bought for $1,200 an acre now selling for $20k an acre.

My mid30s buddies and I always joke and lament about how we were born 15 years too late. Buying ski condos for $150k?

Lake houses for 300k? LOL.

I don't believe this is a trend. The races for census data are White, Black, American Indian/Native American/Native Alaskan, Asian, Native Hawaiin/Pacific Islander. People from India have always been classified as Asian from this standpoint.

Indian. They just say "Asian" in the stats because they don't differentiate the Indian subcontinent.

Someone should pay for this - unfortunately it would be a Republican. I will not vote for a Democrat ever because they are bat **** crazy. These H1B visas need to be rescinded immediately.

This guy videoed this about a mile from my house.

We moved to Celina 12 years ago. We are looking to move further north absolutely due to the middle eastern and Indian invasion. I take my kids to the park and more than half the kids have a mom wearing burkas or dots. I don't care if people think it's racist. I want to live in an area where the dominant population shares my cultural values.

---

You won't outrun it for long by continuing up the same corridor. Other than moving to an entirely different portion of the metroplex, I think the better strategy may be moving to select neighborhoods back closer to the city that are older, redone, more expensive while not being mcmansions and therefore less accommodating of multi-family. Certain neighborhoods in Richardson, north Dallas, etc.. Someplace like Canyon Creek for instance which is less than 5% asian

Is it an attempt to curry flavor with the neighbors?

We are thinking as far north as collinsville dorchester. Enough to get ahead of the urban sprawl until I retire in 15-20 years and then we can move away permanently without being bound to any particular area.

Huh? There's like 14k residential properties in Prosper.

The CAD out there can tell you how many parcels there are. Improved vs unimproved vacant land etc.

That is wild! Those aren't cheap homes either. WTF is going on?

Texas is definitely just following the lead of California before it I agree with you there. Insane influx of newcomers, nice(ish) weather/geography, and booming industry job market relative to the rest of the Countey.

But we're so close, and getting closer every day, to a giant balloon popping, everybody can feel it.

This one is going to be bad bad.
