Comments Off on Positioned for Success: Growth on the Grand Strand

Spring is definitely upon us. On the Grand Strand, we’re fortunate enough to enjoy a few months of cool, inviting weather before the Summer heat hits us. Golfers are also on their way, eager to make tee times & reservations at their favorite restaurants.

Another kind of climate change is also upon us. Only halfway into the first Q of 2011, and we’re seeing a rise in local real estate buys. A majority of these purchases are for undeveloped lots. The previous attraction of buying foreclosures & bank-owned property seems to be waning in favor purchasing lots for future development. A recent article in the Sun News featured Fred Coyne of Westbridge Homes discussing this trend.

“…over the last several years a lot of [lot prices] got to a point that they were squeezing people out of the marketplace,” Coyne said, regarding previous market conditions. “[And] what’s kind of happened is that prices have been reset and readjusted. That has given some people an opportunity that may have been [previously] priced out.”

Though not all new lot sales will translate into immediate build projects, the future looks good. Inquiries for Westbridge Homes custom home design & build services are up 15% over last year’s figures. While there are still some financing obstacles to overcome, it’s clear that the conversation is moving towards new growth & development on the Grand Strand.
