Edinburg TX Real Estate Trends

 As more people have moved into the area and children in large families have bought homes of their own, property values in the best areas have increased.

There’s a lot of competition for homes in Edinburg’s best neighborhoods. Homes in high-interest areas sell quickly and can go for more than asking price. 

Why Call Edinburg Home? 

Edinburg’s location makes it an attractive place to settle for people from all walks of life. Singles travel from places like Austin and San Antonio to take advantage of Edinburg’s lower cost of living and strong choices for education and careers. Families love the friendly atmosphere and great schools. Seniors choose Edinburg to make the most of their retirement income and escape frigid northern winters. There’s a long list of reasons why so many people want new homes in Edinburg.

Edinburg’s Excellent Economy

Edinburg’s economic growth has outpaced the national rate for the past several years in a row. Residents have strong job choices, with educational services, health care, and retail employing the largest percentage of the city’s workforce. Plus, Texas doesn’t have a state income tax, so workers keep more of every paycheck than people making the same amount in other states. 

Warm Winters

In some states, residents are stuck inside for long periods at a time and outdoor activities are unavailable. People who own new homes in Edinburg never have to worry about the chance of snow damage to their roof. They can spend as much time enjoying state parks or outdoor sports in January as they do in June.

Top-Notch Healthcare Choices

The two biggest demographic groups looking at new homes in Edinburg are families with children and retirees moving to Texas. For both groups, healthcare is essential. Edinburg’s award-winning medical facilities include the following: 

• Edinburg Regional Medical Center
• South Texas Behavioral Health System
• Standalone Emergency Care Facilities
• Edinburg Children’s Hospital
• Doctor’s Hospital at Renaissance
• The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine

Russell Park – Best Choice for New Homes in Edinburg 

Russell Park is a thoughtfully planned community in the heart of Edinburg off Highway 281 and Russell Road. If you’re looking for new homes for sale in Edinburg, TX, it’s quite simply the best choice.

Certified Construction 

With new construction, you often hear about small mistakes and big disasters that go unnoticed, then cost the homeowner in the long run. WestWind Homes is one of the few production builders in the area who hires an independent, third-party inspector to complete an in-depth inspection for every single home we build. We’ve been doing it for decades, so our crews have learned how to avoid the most common mistakes. Having an independent set of eyes examine every property ensures you get a home built to last a lifetime.

Customer Care

 Once you move in, your new home is covered by a homeowner’s warranty, but sometimes you need help outside of normal business hours. We don’t expect you to wait an entire holiday weekend to get help for an air conditioner that quits in the heat of summer or a plumbing leak that leaves you without water.

Instead, we make our customer care team available to you around the clock. They’ll respond to your call within 30 minutes, walk you through possible solutions and, if needed in an emergency, be on site within an hour. 

Community Amenities 

Russell Park’s new homes in Edinburg all have access to walking trails that lead to the Boy’s & Girl’s Club, IDEA Public Schools, and the nearby sports grounds.

What Makes WestWind’s New Homes in Edinburg So Affordable

If you know anyone who has ever built a home they told you two things – it’s stressful, and it’s expensive. Often the most stressful part of building a new home is the high cost of building materials and labor.

Some builders only build a few homes a year. They use local vendors and hardware stores, and those places give them a small builder’s discount. They also use subcontractors whose fees vary based on the size and scope of the job. Costs are harder to predict and control.

In contrast, WestWind Homes builds hundreds of homes a year. That means we can buy building materials for new homes in Edinburg from national suppliers at deep discounts.

We save on labor too. We employ whole crews and pay them standard rates. We train for excellence and employ some of the most highly skilled craftsmen in the business, but they don’t charge an arm and a leg because they can count on a steady paycheck. All that means we have high-quality, new construction Edinburg homes for sale for less than other builders, and we pass that saving on to you!

Edinburg’s Educational Opportunities 

All parents want the best for their children, and that means providing them with an education that will help them achieve their dreams. Edinburg has options parents can feel good about.

IDEA Public Schools 

This public charter school consistently produces students who perform above average on standardized tests and, more importantly, who have the skills and desire to attend college. From the first day, students attend pre-k, the curriculum moves them toward the day they’ll receive a college degree and the bright future that entails.

Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District

Parents and students also love what they find at Edinburg CISD, where teachers and administrators stay just as focused on providing the best possible education for the more than 34,500 students who enroll every year. They’re so successful because they invest in highly qualified staff, continuous facility maintenance and upgrades, and strong discipline support.

University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

For higher education, students choose the public research university UTRGV. The university has branches throughout Rio Grande Valley, but the main campus is in Edinburg. The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley offers 64 bachelor’s, 49 masters, and 4 doctoral programs.
