Red Cedar Place Turning Bad Times Into Good

Bluffton, SC, May 17, 2009 --(PR.com)-- In most every sector of the economy, given the current conditions, very few businesses have been able to avoid the devastating blows that have affected so many. Through these rough times, Red Cedar Place, a new home community in Bluffton, SC, has been able to turn bad times into good.

In the past months, Red Cedar Place experienced increased foot traffic and online traffic, with over 1,000 visits each month throughout 2009. This traffic has led to dozens of new leads and sales. Buyers are taking advantage of great prices, low interest rates, Hometown Heroes Discounts, and the $8,000 First-Time Home Buyer tax credit.

In 2008, Beaufort County new home construction slipped to its lowest level since at least 2000, according to an analysis of permitting statistics. The crop of 1,065 permits for new single-family housing units in 2008 was only about a third as many as the county's total in 2006, which were 3,102.

However, sales representatives at Red Cedar Place expect traffic and sales to increase throughout the spring and summer. With the market for expensive real estate properties still dwindling, the demand for new homes in the $160's to mid $200's, as offered at Red Cedar Place, is going to increase in the coming months.

Red Cedar Place at Bluffton Park offers Charleston-style homes with large front porches, quality craftsmanship and desirable interiors. The developers believe the company's success is a direct result of its homebuyers' happiness—which is demonstrated in the home buying process. Homebuyers choose among standard lots or premium sites, which are closer to water or nature. With prices beginning in the $160's, six distinctive home styles are available from just under 1,400 square feet to nearly 3,000 square feet. Each has a traditional design with modern sensibilities. Red Cedar Place allows homebuyers to make further customizations, ensuring each home is built to each home owner's specifications. This extra step provides homebuyers with the ability to personalize their new home in Bluffton, SC, adding style and comfort.
