We continue to hear national reports of a rebound in the housing market, and we are becoming more optimistic as we get more calls. Folks have expressed concerns to me that we will see an uptick in both material and vendor costs if indeed there is merit to the housing rebound, but with that being said, I believe the prudent consumer understands there is no time like the present to move forward if they are serious about building.
We will be completing our first of two homes on the Great Lawn at The Reserve of Lake Keowee, and our current lakeside home is closing in on the dried in state. Windows will be coming soon with the exterior trim and siding following close behind. The full masonry fireplace on the screened porch is above roof, and the great room is in the works.
We are encouraged about some forward management direction at the Cliffs communities. It seems that the property owners’ apprehension is not as heightened as it seemed to be with all of the recent uncertainty. We are excited to have had a Cliffs Vineyards property owner tell us they want to build a modified version of our cottage plan, the Hawthorne. This is a feather in our cap for our early thoughts of a need and style of home suited to the changing desires of prudent resort property owners.
Continue to follow our homes under construction as we will continue to upload progress pictures!
