Falcon Pointe - Pflugerville, Texas - Market Report - 2nd Quarter 2008 (April - June)

 


Falcon Pointe is a 700-acre master-planned community in the fast-growing Pflugerville area. As the largest master-planned community in Pflugerville, Falcon Pointe offers homes priced from the $170,000s to $300,000s by leading builders, along with a popular Residents Club, parks and greenbelt trails. Falcon Pointe is home to three on-site schools, all part of the highly acclaimed Pflugerville Independent School District.


I have lived in the adjacent Blackhawk area for almost six years, so I try to stay on top of trends in the area.


Currently, there are 32 new and resale homes available on the MLS in Falcon Pointe, with an average asking price of $263,876.  The average square footage for these homes is 2,970, for an average price per square foot of $90.43.


Presently, there are 6 homes under contract in the subdivision, with an average listing price of $212,676, and an average square footage of 2,603, yielding an average price per square foot of $88.85.

I have noticed a trend toward larger homes in Falcon Pointe lately, with five homes over 4000 square feet under construction presently.
