“The summer has been tremendous at The Landings,” notes Bill Houghton, president of The Landings’ homeowner association-owned marketing and sales firm, The Landings Company. “There were 67 homes and townhomes that closed in the community in June, July and August – the most since 2006, and an 81% increase over last summer. That has certainly pushed us ahead for the year – and we are getting closer to 2007 transaction levels.”
The Landings has been in existence since the early 1970s, but has been homeowner- and member-owned since the original developer transitioned out in the 1990s. That ownership structure has furthered the stability in the direction of the community, as the homeowners association and the private Landings Club have been prudent with community re-investments, maintaining the quality and the lifestyle that has kept property values in the community strong.
Part of that investment in property values is due to the community’s marketing messages, as developed by The Landings Company. “Our marketing efforts have driven a good bit of the increases this year and last,” adds Houghton. “In fact, The Landings Company has represented 46% more buyers so far this year than we had by this time last year, which comfortably outpaces the overall community’s strong results. We can track a lot of our incremental business to the national marketing and website efforts implemented in the last 12 months.”
