Write ups on random neighborhoods and homes in Rock Hill.

Rock Hill New Home Communities Buyer’s Incentives!

OK folks, this is going to be a new series from me on my Rock Hill real estate blog and my Fort Mill real estate blog.  While my first hope is that you the reader find this post informative it will also enable me to better serve my clients by being abreast of all the new home communities deals.  I have tried to find a way to make this post flow but so far I have been unsuccessful so please give me a pass if this seems a little choppy.

Lets start with Ellis Pond from True Homes. As of right now there is no incentive other than closing cost assistance. This might change when this Ellis Pond comes more online. It is a brand new True neighborhood.

Sweetwater Plantation is an Eastwood Homes neighborhood. Right now there are three sections in Sweetwater. The incentives on the Reserve section are free upgrades through out the home including five piece master bathroom, hardwoods, ceiling fans, 36″ cabinets and a few more. Also you will recieve closing cost assistance.

Chapel Gate and The Woodlands from Dr Horton offers half off options up to 15K and they will kick in 2% of sales price for closing costs. Chapel Gate and The Woodlands are both represented by Fae Moore.

Creeks Edge and The Parks are two Rock Hill neighborhoods that are Adams Homes communities. The incentives are 10K in free upgrades when you build and closing cost assistance when you use a preferred provider. A good thing about Adams Homes is that they have a pretty broad list of lenders. And remember, Creeks Edge is in close-out phase. Contact Mellisa at The Parks for what is available at Creeks Edge.

Roddey Park is another True Homes neighborhood. Yes, you will see True a lot if you are looking for a new home in Rock Hill or Fort Mill. They seem to be taking over many neighborhoods. The incentive for Roddey Park is closing cost assistance.

Newport Lakes, another True neighborhood in Rock Hill. You get closing cost assistance and 5K true style package that includes feature upgrades.

Summerwood from True you get closing cost assistance and the 5K true style package.

Crystal Lakes, which is a beautiful neighborhood from Mercedes Homes, has closing cost assitance and 15K in upgrades when you build.

The LiveWell homes community of Riverwood is one of the only neighborhoods that will build you a full brick home for under 200K. Riverwood also qualifies for 100% USDA financing. Riverwood will give you 5K in upgrades and closing cost assistance.

I know I’m missing out on some of the smaller builders but I hope to include them next month.

If you need more info on any of the neighborhoods listed here or any others in Rock Hill please contact your local Rock Hill Realtor. (yes I mean me)

Creeks Edge-A new home community that is in CLOSE-OUT phase.

Hello again folks.  This one is going to be a little shorter than normal. I started writing this a few weeks ago with the idea of keeping you informed on all of the deals and buyer incentives available from new home communities in Fort Mill and Rock Hill.  After further review (it is the time of the year for a football reference) the ruling in my brain has been overturned.  I am going to write one blog a month on all of the new home community deals and incentives.  My plan is to pen this info at the beginning of the month using the general rule of thumb that builders choose to change their programs at that time.  Right now I am in the process of generating a list of all communities and who the onsite agents are.  It is a little shocking to me the turnover of these guys and the percentage that didn’t bother to call me back.  I like working with the same person because you know what you are getting into, good or bad. So when we get together and view a few neighborhoods I’ll have the inside scoop on who is on top of their game.  Below is what I started on originally.  The blog will be a short two or three lines with name of community, builder, and incentives.

Creeks Edge is a new home community in Rock Hill SC.  Right now Adams Homes is the only builder in Creeks Edge. Having said that, if you do find that you really like the community there will be a number of resale homes available.  The short and sweet of Creeks Edge is that it is a USDA 100% financing approved community located on the west side of Rock Hill off of highway 274.  Most of the neighborhood was built by Scenic Homes but what is left has been built or will be built by Adams Homes.  Creeks Edge has two spec homes available now and plans to add two more.  There are only a couple of lots left.  The current incentives are $10,000 in free options when you build or an additional $5000 in closing costs.  Let’s face it folks, if they want to finish up that neighborhood they really might be willing to wheel and deal. Contact a local Rock Hill Realtor (yes, that’s me) who will use his tools, skills, and knowledge to get you the best deal possible.

Riverwood Rock Hill is an all brick 100% USDA loan available new home community!

Riverwood is a neighborhood located in Rock Hill SC.  The builder now for Riverwood is Live Well Homes.  They haven’t been around that long but they are creating a pretty good name for themselves with there quality and customer service.  The Riverwood community was started back in 2009 by Colony Custom Homes.  Unfortunately for them it was not a great time to try selling a home.  They built a couple of really nice ranch style homes but the last time I drove by (about a week ago) most of them still seemed empty.  Riverwood is one of two Rock Hill communities by Live Well Homes.

What’s going on now in Riverwood is much more exciting.  Live Well Homes seems to have hit on a pretty good formula for moving inventory.  As of right now they have already sold a couple of spec (inventory) homes and are building others.  It’s not hard to see the first appeal: full brick homes for under 200K.  Now we all know the base price is  never the ending price but if you don’t go haywire with the upgrades you should be able to stay around that 200k mark.  Not a bad price for a full brick home.

Riverwood has six floor plans to choose from.  There are two ranch plans and four two story plans.  Starting prices go from $164,990 to 194,990.  Square footage ranges of 2028 to 3237.  Those is some pretty big square footage for the money.  As of right now they are running a five thousand dollar move in incentive but this will probably change over time to keep things fresh.

And lastly one of the biggest selling points is the 100% financing available.  This is the USDA rural development loan program.  While I do know a lot about it you might want to contact an experienced mortgage professional for more details.

Home you enjoyed the write up.  If you have any questions about this neighborhood or any others in the Rock Hill or Fort Mill area contact a local Rock Hill Realtor.
