Worth the wait!

Categories: Michigan |

Carol and Roger Wilkes moved into their new home in the Woods at Magnolia Park on January 24, 2012. They are so pleased with their new Norfolk condominium, truly is a showpiece with the gorgeous selections they made.

The Wilkes have waited quite a while to make this dream of theirs happen. They fell in love with Norfolk Homes in 2000 and encouraged their brother Jim Scantland to buy at Norfolk Homes Summit Glen community and when their sister Sharon and her husband Ed started shopping for a condo they suggested they consider the Woods at Magnolia Park. This family has always wanted to live closer to one another and today two couples live in the Woods at Magnolia Park and Jim just down the road in Summit Glen. They all look forward to spending more family time together and are making plans to totally enjoy the maintenance free lifestyle.

We at Norfolk Homes appreciate and thank Carol and Roger for believing in our commitments to dedication and distinction.

Great news for the Greater Nashville real estate market!

Categories: Tennessee |

Below is a story from today’s morning news on News Channel 2 in Nashville. It is another indicator that it is wise to purchase a new Norfolk Home now. We have several homes that are ready for immediate delivery as well – click here to see the list of available homes.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. –
Nashville realtors are seeing an increase in home sales this winter in the greater Metro area.

“This Monday, the day off [For Martin Luther King Jr's birthday] I have been very busy showing houses,” realtor for Crye-Leike’s Green Hills office Becky Meagher said. “I think, ‘Wow this is an indicator December was so much better and now its getting even better.’” For the month of December, Meagher was the office’s listing leader. She not only listed more properties than anyone else in her office, she also sold more properties.

“Spring time tends to be the traditional time, but January I predict is going to be very brisk,” Meagher said.

According to the Greater Nashville Association of Realtors, home sales for December were up more than 18% this year when compared to 2010. In December 2010, there were 1,500 closings with an average of 95 days on the market. Last month there were 1,773 closings with an average of 94 days on the market…

Meagher told Nashville’s News 2 low mortgage rates and Music City’s attractive qualities are driving sales. Currently according to Freddie Mac, 30 year mortgages has an average interest rate of 3.89%. Last year it was around 4.71%. That would amount to around $26,000 in savings on a $100,000, 30-year mortgage. “There are mortgages out there for first time buyers that do not have a lot of money,” Meagher said. “It is still available and it’s a great time to buy.”

One of Meagher’s clients, Craig Schlesinger, is scheduled to close on an east Nashville condo in the next two weeks. “It is a big weight off my shoulders,” he said. “I have been trying to get here permanently for a few years.” Schlesinger continued, “Mission accomplished, hopefully next week.” Schlesinger is a musician and freelance writer and has a degree in finance. He told Nashville’s News 2 he watched the market closely before deciding on the location for his home and looked at several homes before making a decision.

“I see properties come on the market and jump right off people are grabbing properties,” Schlesinger said.”When you step in, you kind of know that this is going to be home.”

Meagher said where home sales go businesses follow.

“This is really truly a wonderful place to live and more businesses are continuing to come here,” she said. According to Meagher that is a benefit to everyone in Nashville, not just those buying or selling a home. Schlesinger said that is one of the reason’s he decided to purchase a home in Nashville.

Slumber Party Invitation!

Categories: Michigan |

There is an exordinary amount of comfort when one feels safe in their own surroundings, and that is very evident at the Preserve at Magnolia Park community.

Recently, on a crisp autumn day I watched four giggling young girls toting their sleeping bags, pillows and overnight bags after a sleep over at their friend’s home. These girls were making childhood memories that will last a lifetime.

We at Norfolk Homes are proud to be developing communities that families experience fun-loving friendships, comfort and a great place to call home – as well as a slumber party or two!

Countdown – 8 minutes!

Categories: Tennessee |

So, I was at the Publix off 96. You know, the one on S Royal Oaks. I needed to buy some refreshments for all the customers that keep coming by Belle Vista. It was 9:45 and the line was taking way too long. I thought I would surely be late for opening my model at 10am. I made it through the checkout and finally started driving at 9:52. I was for sure going to be late as I thought its about 10 minutes to Belle Vista from that Publix. I got onto 65 and headed south, oh those orange cones, definitely going to be late… Made it to the Peytonsville road exit at 9:56 and thought, I might make it. Zoomed down Moss and and turned into Belle Vista, 2 minutes to get to the model home. Ran up to the door, hit the alarm code at 10:00am precisely. Whew! Only 8 minutes to all the retail shopping on 96, wow! What number of homeowners can say they can get to the grocery in 8 minutes. I love this community!
