Gunter TX Golf Course Living • The Bridges at Preston Crossing Market Report
The Bridges Gunter TX: What Homes Actually Sold For in the Last 6 Months
11 closed sales • $355,085 – $914,900 • FHA, VA & Conventional • Data from Grayson County MLS (NTREIS) • Updated August 2026
If you’ve had your eye on The Bridges at Preston Crossing — the golf course community in Gunter, Texas built around a course designed by Fred Couples and listed by the PGA of America — this report breaks down every home that closed here over the past six months, pulled directly from NTREIS MLS records.
I’m Wayne Wallace, SVP of Mortgage Solutions at Homewood Mortgage, a North Texas mortgage broker with 27 years of experience. I put this data together because The Bridges is a different animal than most of the new-construction communities I cover — it’s mostly a mature, established resale market with one small new-construction phase, and the financing conversation here looks nothing like a typical first-time-buyer neighborhood. The numbers below tell that story.

The headline: The Bridges is a move-up and luxury resale market, not an entry-level new-build community. With a median close price of $675,000 and more than a third of closings above $800,000, this is where buyers are trading up for golf-course living, larger lots, and custom finishes — while a single new-construction phase on Birdie Street quietly offers the only sub-$400,000 way into the neighborhood.

The Financing Story: Conventional Dominates, But FHA and VA Both Work Here
The financing mix in The Bridges looks very different from an entry-level new-build community, and that tells you exactly who’s buying here. Of the 11 closings in this dataset:
| Loan Type | # of Sales | % of Market | What This Means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conventional | 7 | 64% | Move-up and repeat buyers with strong equity or larger down payments — the default financing path in this market |
| FHA | 2 | 18% | Both FHA closings were on the newest, smallest inventory — the Mattamy Phase 2A homes on Stonebridge Pass and Birdie Street |
| VA | 1 | 9% | A Veteran purchased the top custom home in this dataset — $875,000 — with $0 down |
| Other (Farm Credit / Federal Land Bank) | 1 | 9% | A specialty rural lending program used on the $765,000 Eagle Glen Pass sale — common in exurban Grayson County |
The VA Loan Highlight: A $0-Down Purchase at $875,000
The single most interesting data point in this report is 1715 Eagle Glen Pass — a brand-new, 5-bedroom, 3,635-sqft custom home built by Jeff Pfeifer Custom Homes, which closed at $875,000 using VA financing. That’s a Veteran buying one of the most expensive homes in the entire dataset with zero down payment.
It’s a good reminder that VA eligibility isn’t capped at starter-home pricing. There’s no VA loan limit tied to a maximum purchase price for eligible Veterans with full entitlement — the loan amount is governed by what the borrower qualifies for and the appraised value, not an artificial ceiling. If you’ve earned your VA benefit and you’re looking at a home in The Bridges, don’t assume it’s out of reach.
Why FHA Landed on the Newest, Smallest Homes
Both FHA closings in this dataset — 1065 Birdie Street ($364,235) and 1113 Stonebridge Pass ($530,000) — were on the community’s newer, smaller inventory. That’s typical: FHA’s 3.5%-down structure works best on lower loan amounts, and the Mattamy Phase 2A homes on Birdie Street are currently the only true entry point into The Bridges under $400,000. If FHA is your path in, Phase 2A is where to start looking.

Whether you’re looking at a Mattamy starter home on Birdie Street, a resale near the golf course, or a custom build over $800K, the right loan structure looks very different at each price point. Call me at 945-300-4644 and I’ll walk you through your options before you’re under contract.
Resale Market Meets New Construction: The Two Faces of The Bridges
Nine of the 11 closings in this dataset are resale homes built between 2017 and 2024 — a sign that The Bridges’ original sections (Sec 1) are largely built out and now trading on the resale market, at prices from $530,000 to $914,900. These homes tend to be larger (2,500–4,332 sqft), sit on bigger lots (0.35–0.56 acres), and often come with pools, media rooms, and three-car garages.
The exception is The Bridges Phase 2A, a newer section being built out by Mattamy Homes on Birdie Street, offering single-story 3- and 4-bedroom plans (The Buchanan, The Conroe) from roughly $355,000 to $400,000 on smaller, rear-entry-garage lots. This phase is the only current new-construction option in the community and the only place you’ll find sub-$400K pricing.
At the top of the market, this dataset includes two true custom homes: 1715 Eagle Glen Pass (Jeff Pfeifer Custom Homes, new construction, $875,000) and 1617 High Bridge Court (a Gutman Custom Home resale with a pool, putting green, and home theater, $914,900) — both illustrating the ceiling of what’s currently trading in The Bridges.
Could USDA Financing Work in The Bridges?
None of the 11 closings in this dataset used USDA financing, but it’s worth a second look. Gunter sits in a more rural pocket of Grayson County, and portions of the area may fall within USDA’s eligible loan map for $0-down financing — particularly on the newer Phase 2A homes at the lower end of the price range. USDA has its own income limits and property-eligibility rules, so it won’t work for every buyer or every address, but if you’re eyeing an entry-level home in The Bridges, it’s worth having me check eligibility before you rule it out.
About The Bridges at Preston Crossing: What Makes It Different
The Bridges at Preston Crossing is a golf course community in Gunter, TX, built around an 18-hole championship course designed by Fred Couples and listed by the PGA of America. It’s served entirely by Gunter ISD — Gunter Elementary, Gunter Middle, and Gunter High — with a new elementary campus within walking distance of parts of the community.
Community amenities are substantial for a town the size of Gunter: a roughly 6,000-square-foot clubhouse, a restaurant, a resort-style pool, a fitness center, tennis courts, a jogging/bike path, sidewalks, and a greenbelt running through several sections. Note that golf club membership is a separate, private join — it is not included in HOA dues, which run roughly $700–$900 per year across most sections and are managed primarily by Essex Management.
Location-wise, The Bridges sits along the FM 121 / Preston Crossing corridor, reachable via the Dallas North Tollway, US-380, and SH-289 — putting it within a reasonable commute of Frisco, McKinney, and Sherman while offering a more rural, lower-density feel than closer-in Collin County communities.
Frequently Asked Questions: The Bridges Gunter TX
What is the average home price in The Bridges Gunter TX?
Based on 11 closings between February and July 2026, the average sale price in The Bridges is $672,611 and the median is $675,000. Prices range from $355,085 for the smallest new-construction Mattamy plan to $914,900 for a custom resale home on High Bridge Court.
What school district is The Bridges in?
The Bridges at Preston Crossing is served by Gunter ISD — Gunter Elementary, Gunter Middle School, and Gunter High School.
Can I use an FHA loan to buy in The Bridges?
Yes, though your options are more limited than in a typical new-build community. Both recent FHA closings were on the community’s newest, smallest inventory — 1065 Birdie Street ($364,235) and 1113 Stonebridge Pass ($530,000). With 3.5% down, a buyer could get into the Mattamy Phase 2A homes on Birdie Street for as little as roughly $12,700–$14,000 out of pocket before closing costs. Call 945-300-4644 to see what you qualify for.
Can Veterans use a VA loan to buy in The Bridges?
Yes — and this dataset proves it works at every price point. One of the 11 closings, a $875,000 custom new-construction home at 1715 Eagle Glen Pass, was purchased with VA financing and $0 down. VA loans aren’t just for starter homes; I specialize in VA financing across North Texas and can help you use your benefit on a higher-value purchase.
What are HOA fees in The Bridges?
HOA dues in The Bridges run roughly $700–$900 per year depending on the section, most commonly billed semi-annually and managed by Essex Management. Golf club membership is a separate private membership and is not included in HOA dues.
Is The Bridges eligible for a USDA loan?
Possibly, on parts of the community — Gunter’s more rural location within Grayson County means some addresses may fall inside USDA’s eligible-area map, which offers $0-down financing subject to income limits. None of the recent closings in this dataset used USDA, but it’s worth checking on a specific address before assuming it’s off the table.
What builders are active in The Bridges right now?
Mattamy Homes is the only production builder currently active, building The Bridges Phase 2A on Birdie Street with single-story 3–4 bedroom plans from roughly $355,000–$400,000. Higher up the price range, custom builders like Jeff Pfeifer Custom Homes are delivering one-off luxury homes, and the majority of inventory in the original Bridges sections is resale, built between 2017 and 2024.
