1. Tommye McCeig: Buyer representation for new construction

Tommye McCeig is a Dallas-Fort Worth brokerage brand that helps buyers compare homes, review contracts, and plan a purchase. Tommye McCeig is a broker associate with 20 years of experience in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Notice: Always have your agent present before any visits or communication with a builder representative. This reduces the risk of miscommunication and potential contract pitfalls. Please ensure your agent is present for all builder interactions.

This is the right starting point when a buyer has several communities in mind but hasn't settled on one. A builder's sales counselor represents the builder. A buyer's broker can help the buyer compare the builder's offer with other homesites, incentives, timelines, and contract terms.

New construction contracts deserve close review. Buyers should ask which features are included in the base price. They should also ask how structural changes affect the final price, when earnest money becomes nonrefundable, and what happens if construction takes longer than planned.

Tommye McCeig also provides home valuation and strategy calls. That matters when a buyer must sell an existing home before purchasing in Celina. A clear estimate of the current home's value can shape the down payment plan without treating an estimate as a guarantee.

Buyers can review Tommye McCeig's broker associate profile when they want to understand the service behind the search. The limitation is simple: no broker can guarantee a builder's completion date, final price, or future resale value. Those items belong in the written contract and current builder disclosures.

Key Takeaway: Use an independent comparison process before choosing a builder, lot, or contract package.

2. Mustang Lakes: Larger lots and higher-end amenity options

Mustang Lakes is a master-planned community near the Celina, Prosper, and McKinney area. Its listed home prices range from $550,000 to $1.2 million, with lakefront lots reported at roughly 85 to 120 feet or more.

The amenity package is the main reason buyers compare Mustang Lakes with other new construction homes in Celina. The community includes a lazy river pool, fitness center, tennis and pickleball facilities, and other shared amenities.

That amenity package can affect the monthly budget. Reported HOA dues are around $245 to $325 per month. A buyer comparing a $600,000 home here with a less expensive home elsewhere should add the HOA payment to the full housing estimate.

Lot size needs the same care. Lakefront sites may be much larger than standard interior lots, but the premium can change by phase, view, street position, and builder. Buyers should ask for the current site plan instead of assuming every homesite matches the largest advertised lot.

Mustang Lakes fits a buyer who values shared water and recreation amenities and is comfortable with a higher purchase range. It may be a poor match for someone who would rarely use those features or who wants to keep recurring costs low. Ask for the current HOA budget, transfer fees, and any separate district assessments before writing an offer.

3. Cambridge Crossing: A higher-priced option near growth corridors

Cambridge Crossing is a newer Celina community with reported home prices that vary by home, lot, and availability. Lot sizes and lot features can vary by home and availability.

The community is positioned near the Dallas North Tollway and the planned Outer Loop corridor. Actual travel time depends on traffic, road work, and the destination. That makes a test drive at the time of day you normally travel more useful than a map estimate.

Plan choices and availability can change, so buyers should confirm the lot, completion stage, included features, and current price in writing.

The HOA assessment should be verified directly before comparing monthly costs. HOA amounts can change by phase or source date.

School assignments need a current check. Attendance boundaries can change as new campuses open. Buyers should review the district's official boundary information before relying on a school assignment.

Cambridge Crossing makes sense for buyers who want newer housing near regional roads and who accept a higher entry price. The key limitation is that growth can bring road changes, construction noise, and shifting retail access. Those conditions are part of the purchase decision, not a footnote.

4. Sutton Fields: A lower entry point with Prosper ISD considerations

Sutton Fields has a price range of about $400,000 to $650,000, with final pricing depending on the home plan, lot, options, and builder incentives. That can place it below the upper end of Mustang Lakes and Cambridge Crossing, though the final price still depends on the home plan, lot, options, and builder incentives.

Sutton Fields may suit buyers seeking Prosper ISD on a tighter budget. School boundaries are factual property information, not a personal recommendation. Confirm the exact assignment for a street address through the district and the builder's current documentation.

Distances can change by route and campus, so buyers should check the route during normal travel hours. A short map distance does not always mean a short drive.

Sutton Fields may suit a buyer who wants a newer home with a lower entry range than the larger amenity communities. The tradeoff is that the base price can leave out items buyers expect, such as upgraded flooring, added lighting, extended patios, or premium lot charges.

Ask the builder for two numbers. First, request the base price for the selected plan. Then request the estimated price after the options the buyer actually wants. That side-by-side view is more useful than a model home tour alone.

Also check the tax rate, HOA documents, drainage information, and estimated insurance cost. A lower purchase price can look different once taxes, insurance, HOA dues, and utility setup are added to the monthly budget.

Pro Tip: Compare the finished price of the exact home, not the starting price shown on a sign or search page.

5. Legacy Hills: Multiple new construction collections at different price points

Legacy Hills gives buyers several collections within one broader community. Enclave at Legacy Hills starts around $377,990 to $384,990, Brookshire at Legacy Hills starts around $414,990, and Del Webb at Legacy Hills starts around $423,990.

Those figures are starting points, not guaranteed final prices. Enclave and Brookshire have 50- and 60-foot sites. Brookshire is associated with Windsor Homes Texas and has monthly HOA dues of about $107.

Del Webb at Legacy Hills is an age-restricted community with its own amenity package. It includes pickleball, a resort-style pool, walking trails, a cafe and bar, plus an amenity center larger than 15,000 square feet. Buyers must review the community's eligibility rules and current fees because age-restricted housing has different requirements than a general residential section.

Legacy Hills is useful for buyers who want to compare different home sizes and price points without starting a new search in every part of Celina. The limitation is that a larger master-planned setting can include changing construction phases. Buyers should ask what is complete now, what remains planned, and which amenities are open for use.

Tax information and HOA assessments should be reviewed for the specific section and homesite. Tax figures can vary by phase and may include district charges. Confirm the full tax breakdown for the exact homesite with the title company or other qualified professionals before making financial decisions.

Celina New Construction Communities Compared

Price is only one way to compare new construction homes in Celina TX. The table below focuses on the decision that often gets missed: what each option may add to the buyer's monthly and day-to-day obligations.

Option	Reported price range	What stands out	Cost or verification point
Tommye McCeig	Service varies by purchase	Independent buyer comparison and contract review	Confirm representation terms and builder rules
Mustang Lakes	$550,000 to $1.2 million	Large lots and water-focused amenities	Verify current HOA dues and transfer fees
Cambridge Crossing	Pricing varies by home and lot	Home and lot choices vary	Verify HOA amount and school boundary
Sutton Fields	Pricing varies by home and options	Lower entry range with Prosper ISD consideration	Compare base price with options and lot fees
Legacy Hills collections	About $377,990 and up	Several collections in one broader community	Confirm current Brookshire HOA dues

Water amenities often explain part of the cost gap, but they don't explain everything. Light Farms has four resort-style pool complexes. Mustang Lakes has a lazy-river pool and lakefront sites. Smaller or less water-focused collections may have lower HOA charges.

Builder choice is another variable. Not every listing identifies a builder. Ask who will build the home, who handles warranty claims, and whether the builder has a separate design center contract.

Before comparing monthly payments, collect these documents:

1. The full purchase agreement and addenda.
2. The current HOA budget, restrictions, and transfer fees.
3. The lot premium and final options sheet.
4. The estimated tax rate for the exact address.
5. The construction timeline and warranty terms.

Buyers who want a second opinion can also review a current property example through Tommye McCeig's active property listing details to see how a listing presents price, HOA, lot size, and key facts. The property is in Southlake, so it is not a Celina comparison. Its value here is the reminder to read the full property record rather than rely on a headline figure.

FAQ

How much do new construction homes in Celina TX cost?

Pricing for new construction homes in Celina TX varies by community and home. Old Celina and smaller collections sit near the lower end, while Mustang Lakes and Cambridge Crossing reach the higher end. Final cost depends on the plan, lot, structural options, design selections, taxes, insurance, and HOA charges.

Which Celina communities have the lowest reported price range?

Old Celina and some Legacy Hills collections have the lowest reported starting prices in this comparison. Sutton Fields also sits toward the lower middle of the market. Starting prices can exclude lot premiums and upgrades, so request a complete price sheet before comparing homes.

Are HOA fees high in Celina new construction communities?

HOA fees vary widely across Celina new construction communities. Brookshire at Legacy Hills is reported at about $107 per month, while Light Farms is reported around $165 to $215 and Mustang Lakes around $245 to $325. A higher home price does not automatically mean a higher HOA fee, so review each community's current documents.

What should I check before buying a new build in Celina?

Before buying a new build in Celina, check the final price, lot premium, HOA documents, taxes, school assignment, construction timeline, warranty terms, and drainage information. Ask which upgrades are included. Have the contract reviewed by the buyer's chosen professionals, since builder contracts can differ from resale contracts.

Do I need a broker for a new construction home?

You don't have to use a broker for a new construction home, but independent representation can help with comparisons and contract questions. Always have your agent present before any builder visits or communications. This protects you from incomplete disclosures and ensures accurate record‑keeping. If you want help, discuss that choice before the first builder visit and confirm the terms in writing.

Conclusion

The right Celina community depends on the full monthly cost, the lot, the builder contract, and the amenities you will actually use. Tommye McCeig is a sensible first conversation for buyers comparing several new‑home options. Start by sharing your target budget, preferred area, and move timeline so the search can focus on homes that fit the numbers.
