LAKEWOOD RANCH, Fla. (March, 20, 2017) – Neal Communities, southwest Florida’s premier, private homebuilder, recorded 100 sales in February, continuing a second solid month for the start of 2017. The builder’s two-month total equals 210 sales, a more than 10 percent increase from 2016.
Neal South, the company’s division covering Lee and Collier Counties, marked 20 sales last month and recently opened Avalon, a new condominium community in Naples.
“With a national focus on tax cuts, infrastructure spending and deregulation, we continue to see a positive real estate market here in southwest Florida,” said Michael Storey, president of Neal Communities. “Furthermore, the continued favorable lending environment coupled with the possibility of impending interest rate hikes make this the perfect time to buy a new home. Our quality inventory with feature move-in ready homes and the option to build a new home from the ground up give buyers plenty of options with Neal Communities.”
Notable neighborhoods with robust sales in February included Milano in Venice with 14 sales and Silverleaf in Parrish with 13 sales. Silverleaf offers 18 home plan options and a variety of amenities, including a recreation center, pool, spa, playground, picnic area, basketball court, two dog parks, walking trails and a nature boardwalk.
Grand Palm, the builder’s master-planned community in Venice, continues to be a popular neighborhood with 13 sales last month. The community features interconnected walking trails, nature paths and a 39-acre lake with an island oasis.
The 1,000-acre gated community of Boca Royale Golf & Country Club in Englewood, is about to unveil five new models this month and reported eight sales in February.
Neal Communities is almost sold out in several communities, including Central Park in Lakewood Ranch with just three move-in ready homes available, Windwood in North Venice with only five homes remaining and Woodbrook in Sarasota with just four opportunities for buyers.
In 2016, Neal Communities broke all of the company’s previous sales records, ending the year with 1,109 sales and 1,129 closings, totaling over $430 million in communities from Hillsborough to Collier Counties and representing a 13 percent increase in closings compared to 2015.
