Ashton Woods at Inspiration in Wylie, Texas: Prices and Availability in 2026

Is Ashton Woods still building at Inspiration in Wylie, and what does a home there cost in 2026? Yes. As of November 2, 2026, Ashton Woods' website shows nine plans in the community, with prices from $456,490 up to $710,990 as starting prices before options. Eight quick move-in homes were listed, ranging from $539,800 to $875,000. The part of that range at $500,000 and up is what this guide covers.

Inspiration is a Huffines Communities development on the shore of Lake Lavon, and Ashton Woods sells two series inside it, one on 50-foot homesites and one on 80-foot homesites. Below is what the builder publishes today, what the larger community includes, and what to settle before you walk into the sales office.

What Inspiration is

Huffines Communities describes Inspiration as 638 acres with about 1,600 homes at buildout, with an address of 1715 Inspiration Blvd, St. Paul, TX 75098. A February 2025 news item on the developer's site calls it a 702 acre community, so treat the acreage as approximate. The site sits next to the historic town of St. Paul, in Collin County, and the developer says its extraterritorial jurisdiction covers Wylie, Lucas and St. Paul.

That matters for one practical reason. Ashton Woods' page headline says Lucas, while its sales office is at 1506 Emerald Bay Lane, Wylie, TX 75098, and the mailing addresses on its quick move-in homes say Wylie. The school district is Wylie ISD, and the builder's page lists George W. Bush Elementary about 0.7 miles from the sales office. Which city limits or jurisdiction your specific lot falls in affects your tax bill, so ask for it in writing before you choose a lot.

Club Inspiration is the amenity center. Ashton Woods lists resort-style pools including a lap pool, an adult pool and a tot pool, a fitness center, two conference rooms, a grilling pavilion with a snack bar, an event lawn, playgrounds, sports fields, stocked catch-and-release fishing ponds, a putting green, a dog park, and walking access to the Trinity Trail along Lake Lavon.

I toured the Ashton Woods model here in November 2025, and that video is the first-hand part of this guide. Everything about price and availability below comes from the builder's site this week, not from the video.

What is for sale right now

The 50s series sits on 50-foot-wide homesites that Ashton Woods lists as 120 feet or deeper. The 80s series sits on 80-foot homesites. The two smallest 50s plans, the Marshall from $456,490 and the Farwell from $482,490, start below the $500,000 line, so they are not in the plan table.

The quick move-in homes are finished or close to it, so the price and the closing date are known.

Prices checked on Ashton Woods' website on November 2, 2026. Plan prices are starting prices before lot, elevation and options, and quick move-in prices can change or sell without notice. The builder lists 1209 Eclipse Way at 3,863 square feet while its Graham plan page says 3,567, so ask which number is right for that house.

The incentive Ashton Woods advertises

The community page currently advertises fixed rates as low as 4.99% (5.20% APR) and up to $10,000 toward closing costs on select quick move-in homes, with the terms in footnotes I could not see. The 50s series page shows a different promotion, a 3.99% fixed rate (4.33% APR). I cannot tell you which homes qualify for which, and that is a question for the sales office. Incentives change and are set by the builder, so get the terms in writing, and compare any builder-affiliated lender offer against a quote from a lender you choose.

The details a page will not tell you

HOA. Ashton Woods does not publish the dues on its community or quick move-in pages. Huffines says the community has on-site HOA management and a lifestyle team, and a community with this amenity center will have dues. Ask for the current budget and what it covers.

The special district. Huffines lists a municipal utility district for Inspiration. A 2014 Dallas Morning News report described the taxing entity as Collin County Water Control and Improvement District No. 3, with a tax rate authorized up to $1.20 per $100 of value and $63 million in road bonds approved by voters that year. Those are authorization figures from more than a decade ago, not what a buyer pays today. I could not confirm the current homeowner rate from public pages, so ask for the district tax rate and the required disclosure notice for your exact lot. Our guide to MUD and PID taxes on DFW new construction explains what that notice looks like and how to read it.

The 50s and 80s are different purchases. The 50s run from about 2,100 to 3,900 square feet and the 80s from about 3,900 to 4,200, and the quick move-in prices step up accordingly. Compare the two by price per square foot and lot, not just the headline number.

Bring your own agent before your first visit

Most DFW builders register you as a buyer the first time you walk into the sales office, and many will not add a buyer's agent after that. The person at the desk works for the builder, which is fine, but it means nobody is on your side while you compare plans, read the contract and weigh a quick move-in against building to order. I have not verified Ashton Woods' registration policy, so ask them directly, and ask before you visit.

An agent of your own reads the contract, checks the district notice and the city assignment for your lot, and tracks the deadlines. If you are weighing Inspiration, schedule a private consultation before your first visit to Inspiration.

Quick move-in or build to order

A quick move-in saves you the wait and lets you see the finished home, but the finishes are already chosen. A to-be-built plan lets you pick at the design center and adds a construction timeline you should have in writing. Our posts on design center upgrades and independent inspections and the builder warranty cover both paths, and our Wylie real estate guide covers the surrounding market.

Do I need an agent who knows new construction in Wylie?

You need one who has read builder contracts, knows how registration works and can compare Inspiration with other communities nearby. Many agents rarely work with builders, so ask how many new construction contracts they have handled. Paul Blair has toured and filmed Inspiration and works with buyers on builder contracts across Collin County.

A note from Paul

When I filmed the Ashton Woods model at Inspiration in November, the club and the lake trails were easy to notice. The homes deserve the same close look, so read the contract, ask about the district tax, and bring your agent the first time.
