Up Up and Away

If you have money down on a home here at Bridlewood Villas ... congratulations......   If you are still waiting....  Sorry --  Prices were increased greatly today. 

From market indications, this will not be the last increase.

Weekly update

This is has been pretty uneventful, other than:

4 more sales and more and more great people are waiting for their new homes to be completed. (this is a hint to the builders to get working faster)

Even with the new prices the homes are selling quickly. 

Come and get one now before the prices take another hike.  Our costs keep going up and up.

WEEKLY CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

CLUBHOUSE HAS FOOTINGS AND FOUNDATION

Yes the clubhouse is now underway.   Footings and Foundations are poured and the underground plumbing etc comes next.

Here is the building update.

1.  Our models are partially decorated and you still get to hike in over the dirt, mud, gravel or whatever happens to be there on that day.   I understand that the asphalt will come this week if we have good weather.  GOOD NEWS  ... we have models     BAD NEWS.... bring your hiking boots to get into them.


Building 17:   Cabinets and some countertops are in.  Still on schedule for completion for May 31.  I still have 2 Abbeys in that building for sale.  since the are so close to being completed, we did not raise the prices on them,.   Still with the upgrades they are $244,300 and  $281,900 (one has the bonus room above the garage.)

Building 2:  Sheetrock is being completed this week

Building 6:  Roof is going on, Electrical and HVAC is getting finished up.

Building 3:  is almost finished framing

Building 18:  is ready to start framing

Buildings 4 and 5:  I see the big trackhoe out there today and the stakes are set.  That means that we will have a hole dug today or tomorrow.


As you can tell, we are building very quickly.  Things are very busy here in this community.  Please be careful as you drive around to sight see (we know you all do it).....   There might be nails on the road and big trucks blocking access.

If you come to the sales office and it is empty, I am on the community somewhere.  Come on in and wait, or come over to building 1 north side where we now have models.  That is most likely where I am.   Thanks

MOVING QUICKLY

YES --- THIS COMMUNITY IS SELLING FAST


We have now gotten 21 homes under contract in this community.  2 are actually finished with residents moving in.  The other 19 are waiting patiently as we continue to build their homes.    THAT IS THE GOOD NEWS.

Now for the BAD NEWS.  Well the builder thinks this is good news,   but as of today (April 30) our prices took a little increase.  We are up $10,000 to $15000 per home.   The cost of construction just keeps going up and he does not like to loose money on building your new home.


But the other GOOD NEWS  is that the supply of existing homes on the market for sale is so small that owners are now getting full price and more offers on their homes within days of putting on the market.  That says that your home price is going up too.   The little increase here will just be a wash with your home price.


So now,  I will tell you a secret.   Come and get money down on your future home.  It will lock it in against any future increases, then you have time to sell your home.   We are now selling homes that are out almost a year before completion.
