One of the things we love best about the Katy area is the wonderful array of Subdivision and Master Planned Community options available. We in fact have so many options it can be a bit confusing for potential buyers. At Team DiMuria we like to take potential buyers on an Area Tour and show them the choices of neighborhoods and communities they have. This allows our clients to decide on community first...then we can pick their next home!
In the past year we have added Cross Creek Ranchto our area tour. This is a beautiful community that has lots of amenities, great school options, and wide open spaces. Buyers will have a wide array of pricing options from around $200,000 to $1,000,000 custom homes. It also has quick commute times to the Houston Energy Corridor, the Grand Parkway, I-10, or the Westpark Tollway!
Melissa Guerra, the Marketing Coordinator for Cross Creek Ranch added:
"Cross Creek Ranch is a new "premiere" master-planned community in Fulshear, Texas, from Trendmaker Development. located just minutes from both the Grand Parkway and the Westpark Tollway. Enjoy World Class amenities: a 70ft Observation Tower, Resort Style pool and Water Park, Fitness Center. Cross Creek Ranch offers beautiful homes from Ashton Woods, David Weekley, Perry Homes, Village Builders, Trendmaker Homes and Kickerillo Companies. Now building in Katy I.S.D."
Make sure to put Cross Creek Ranch on your shopping list if you are looking for a home in the Katy area!

Wow has it been HOT this year! Whether it is hot or just rainy, here is a list of ideas for you and your kids for some fun things to do:
1/ Go to the Cinco Ranch Library--there is usually story-times for the little ones, computers with games for the older ones, and a large selection of books!
2/ Go to the Movies! There is the AMC at Katy Mills Mall or Cinemark at the Grand Parkway. There are some great movies out there for all ages this summer!
3/ Go to the Katy Mills Mall-walk around, usually there is a play area somewhere inside too, grab lunch.
4/ Inflatable Zone/Pump it Up-these are great for little ones and indoors! You can usually pay for some playtime.
Hope these ideas help make the summer fun for you and your kids!

We receive many phone calls, e-mails, and website contacts asking questions like "what dollars per sqft should I pay for a home in Cinco Ranch?" or "Why do I see two 3000 sqft homes just blocks apart in Grand Lakes with such different prices?"
The answer lies in how subdivisions and Master Planned Communities in the Katy area South of I-10 have been developed and built. In many areas of the Country developers put a plan together, layout the streets, and begin selling lots (usually the ones in the back first so you have a little less disruption while the building is going on). until they are all sold and built. Katy developers decided to have a slightly different strategy...and it has made all the difference.
In a Master Planned Community like Cinco Ranch as an example, the community was broken down into sections. These sections have different sized homes, level of upgrade, and building requirements for that specific section...as an example homes in a given section may have houses between 3500 and 4000 sqft and have a high level of upgrade. The section may have 40 to 60 home-sites and 3 distinct builders. These builders will divide up the lots and build out (using the section requirements as their guideline).
We have many positive aspects to this strategy:
1. It is hard for a buyer to make a mistake and buy too much house in a neighborhood when you have requirements for size and level of upgrade.
2. The buyer will not need to wait very long for their specific section to build out...limiting the inconvenience.
3. Sections with different styles , sizes, and price ranges of homes can be built next to each other and seamlessly co-exist without effecting the beauty or value of the neighboring section (as an example Heritage Grand, a 55+ active adult community is across the street from a custom home sections of million dollar plus homes...with no effect to either neighborhood!
A drawback to those who do not live in the area or understand the strategy will have trouble understanding why these homes which lie so close together have such different values. This is why it is so important to hire a Realtor who is knowledgeable of the specific subdivisions, Master Planned Communities, and even sections.

Cinco Ranch has modification meetings each month and they are usually held on the third Tuesday of the month unless otherwise indicated.
You will need your plans submitted so the committee can review them at the modification meeting and a decision will usually be made within a few days.

There are many choices on where to grocery shop in the Katy and greater Houston area. If you are new to the area, sometimes it can be confusing on where to go, so here is a quick run down on the local stores for you:
1/ HEB-if you want a large organic section, a counter with gourmet prepared foods, a fresh Sushi bar, a great fish counter and organic meat selection-this is the store for you! Located on the corner of Fry Rd and the Grand Parkway. HEB has one of the largest and nicest produce sections as well.
2/ Kroger-Kroger offers shoppers a "Kroger" card-you sign up for free. Use it every time you shop and it can give you discounts on some of the store brand items, and can give you up to a 10 cent per gallon discount on gas as well(per every $100 shopped). They give an every day discount of 3 cents per gallon no matter how much you spend on groceries-as long as you use the card. Another thing that this store does for its customers is periodically mail out coupons based on your shopping habits-so you actually get coupons for stuff you normally buy.
3/ Randalls-Randalls also offers a card for its shoppers similar to the one Kroger offers. You use it for store marked discounts, and they also offer a discount on gas with the card. Randalls in much smaller in scale than Kroger and HEB, but has a nice layout and a very nice produce dept.
4/ Super Target/Super Walmart-they are both here-and if you are looking to buy in larger quantities and to save a little money these are the places for you. However, it is harder to find organic or specialty items, and the fish and meat depts. are limited.
You can find all of these stores in Katy. If you are looking for a WHOLE FOODS you will need to take the short drive to Sugar Land or into Houston!

Jeff and Mona paid attention to every aspect of our transaction. I was out of the country during most of the time and they worked very hard to make it seem like I had no reason to return, except to sign the papers. They are the best!

I would be happy to talk to any potential buyer or seller about Jeff and Mona DiMuria. We have sold many homes over the last 30 years or so, these two are the best. Highly Recommended!
Harvey R.
We cannot imagine any agents in Katy know more about the area then Mona and Jeff. They are great! We feel like we have been here for years because of all the inside knowledge we now have. Thanks guys!

I was searching the Internet for a home in the Katy or Sugar Land area (we relocated from Florida) and I ran across Team DiMuria's website (www.katyhomefinder.com) I filled out a form for a relocation package. They got back to me within minutes and helped us with our move in so many ways. They found us a moving company, a mortgage company, helped us get homeowners insurance, and are by far the best Realtors we have ever worked with (we are 73 an 75 years old so that is saying something). I am happy to give them my highest recommendation!
