Where it lives
Plano and Rich Pond on the southeast side carry the volume. Alvaton adds semi-custom and custom homes on larger lots. The small towns get new subdivisions too, just in smaller doses.

New construction
Brand-new homes in the metro's busiest building corridors
If a never-lived-in house matters to you, Bowling Green's southeast corridor is where most of the new neighborhoods are going in, with builders putting up everything from starter three-beds to custom homes on acreage.
What to know
What it costs
New construction premiums typically run 10-20% over comparable resale. In practice that means $300K-$450K for production homes and $450K-$650K for custom builds on land.
The honest timeline
Plan on months, not weeks: builders are scheduling out, supply chains hiccup, and weather eats weekends. A dirt yard for a season is normal. Buy with a timeline you can actually afford.
