Home sales soar for Neal Communities in October
One hundred home sales in October for Neal Communities (NealCommunities.com), southwest Florida’s premier, private homebuilder, brings the firm’s year-to-date total to an impressive 956 sales.
“Traditionally, the southwest Florida home market is stronger than trends we see nationwide, and this month continues to bolster that theory,” said Michael Storey, president of Neal Communities. “With new home sales up by more than 3 percent across the country, our results are a testament to homebuyer confidence throughout the U.S. and in Florida.”
Additionally, CNBC recently reported this is the best time to buy a home with mortgage rates below four percent; a number that is persuading renters to lock in fixed costs and create wealth for themselves.
According to industry data, the biggest sales increases nationally are coming from mid-tier homes priced between $300,000 and $399,000. Several Neal Communities neighborhoods in that category saw high sales numbers in October, including Grand Palm in Venice with 11 sales and Milano in Venice and Silverleaf in Parrish with nine sales each.
Neal Signature Homes also sold nine in October, with five sales in the popular amenity-rich community Country Club East at Lakewood Ranch. Other communities, including Boca Royale Golf & Country Club in Englewood, Eagle Trace in Bradenton and Woodland Trace in Sarasota, each had six sales last month.
In addition to an increase in home sales, the company has seen growth in the Neal Communities team during 2016, with 70 new hires since the beginning of the year.
