Little Elm real estate is in great demand, based on the high quality houses, excellent schools and community amenities. Lying on the northeastern shore of Lewisville Lake in Denton County, Little Elm has become a highly sought after residential community. As with nearby Frisco real estate, property values have soared in the past decade.

Advanced Inspection Service has been inspecting homes in Little Elm, The Colony and nearby Dallas suburbs for more than 30 years. Our work also entails an examination of the land and outbuildings, in addition to the house itself. But increasingly, our Little Elm inspections involve new dwellings in master planned communities.
Little Elm Single Family Home Inspections
As with most of our Frisco real estate inspections, the large majority of our inspections in Little Elm are single-family residential properties. But we occasionally inspect multi-family dwellings like apartments, condos and duplexes. The local housing market has really taken off – and we’re doing more and more property inspections in Denton County.
Common Features of Denton County Housing
The Denton/Collin area encompasses all kinds of real property. We have horse ranches, working farms, and large apartment and condominium projects. But these days, we perform a lot of our Little Elm inspections in master planned residential communities. This year, the most frequent requests have been for new home evaluations, as well as townhomes and condos.
Our team is familiar with the major developers in this area, as well as their subcontractors for foundation, framing, electrical and plumbing work. In most cases, the economies of scale afforded by these homebuilders provide great value for the homeowner. And the larger builders also have professional design, engineering and quality control experts and procedures.
Still, we do find deficiencies and potential problems – even with brand new houses. Builders and subs feel tremendous pressure to complete the job on time and budget; and sometimes they cut corners. We recommend that anyone building a new home commission inspections at each stage of the construction process.

Inspecting Homes in Little Elm and The Colony
As with most property in the greater Dallas and Plano areas, these communities are built on flat terrain. For us, this means we need to take extra time to evaluate drainage during our Little Elm real estate inspections. The area also receives some extreme weather – high winds, downpours and even snow on occasion. So we expend additional effort to inspect a home’s roof, gutters, downspouts and flashing to ensure water is carried away properly.
Homes in Little Elm and The Colony also experience great temperature fluctuations. We get high summer temps well above 100 F, and winter lows in the single digits. These extremes can challenge the HVAC systems. And it’s not uncommon for A/C to be needed in our warm Texas winters – or heating in the late Spring or early Fall. So we inspect every HVAC system closely to evaluate its ability to perform in this environment.
While not as frenetic as the housing markets in nearby Frisco and McKinney, Little Elm homes and lots are in high demand. Realtors urge buyers to line up financing (or pay cash) – and get their home inspections done as soon as possible. The information and photos we provide in the home inspection report enable the buyer to make an intelligent purchase decision – and negotiate a good price.

Little Elm was first settled in 1844 by C.C. “Kit” King who was Denton County’s first postmaster. The town was incorporated in 1966, and has grown to a population of 46,453 according to the 2020 census. For recreation, Little Elm has 5 community parks — and the Cottonwood Creek Marina.
Many of our recent Little Elm home inspection clients are young couples with 2-3 children. For the most part, they are looking for modern houses with 3-4 bedrooms, multiple baths, garages and large yards. We also get some Denton County clients who prefer the convenience of a condo or townhome.
As the old saw goes, there are three important things about real estate – location, location and location. Usually the first priority of our Little Elm homebuyers is proximity to great schools; and there are plenty of these in Denton County. Price is also an important factor; and although housing values have increased in recent years, there is still a good selection of homes available at a broad range of prices. Recent interest rate increases have not slowed the demand for Little Elm houses and land.

Whether you are moving across town or across the Country, buying a new home is an exciting process. For most people, this purchase is the largest financial transaction they have ever made. So in addition to the excitement, people also experience some stress and anxiety.
Your AIS home inspector in Little Elm or The Colony is a highly trained specialist who can document and explain the key structures and systems of the house you want to buy. Our inspectors have a firm grasp of the National and local building codes, and know what kind of problems to look for. We especially take pride in the numerous photos (and infra red images) we include to show clients exactly what we’re talking about.
AIS home inspectors frequently come across properties that have cosmetic defects that do not have any impact on the dwelling’s soundness, habitability or safety. We also find hidden issues that could not be discovered by a layperson, or without the sophisticated inspection equipment and procedures we employ. By explaining the difference between cosmetic issues and serious problems, we provide information that can help a buyer make a good decision and get a better value.
