Great Deal or Resale Problem? This $349K Home Has Us Torn

Is this $349K Taylor Morrison home in Celina, Texas a great deal — or could its unusual layout create a resale problem down the road?

Today we're touring a 4-bedroom, 3-bath home in Cross Creek Meadows that offers a LOT for the money. At around 2,000 square feet, you’re getting a newer Taylor Morrison home, appliances, blinds, a 2-car garage and a surprisingly functional layout for under $350K.

But there are two things we think buyers need to consider.

First, this is a rear-entry home with the front of the house facing a green space. We love the neighborhood feel, but where do your guests park if you entertain frequently?

Second — and potentially more important for resale — the primary bedroom is upstairs. That's common in some parts of the country, but much less common here in North Texas. Does that make this home a bargain… or does it shrink your future buyer pool?

We walk through the entire home and give you our thoughts on the pros, cons and whether we think the value outweighs the potential resale concerns.
