Fabulous Sun City Carolina Lakes- It is All About the Lifestyle
Once again Sun City Carolina Lakes led the new home subdivisions in sales in 2008- the Del Webb concept of a self-contained, active adult, golf cart community, just 30 minutes from a major city (Charlotte) with a large airport, in low tax South Carolina, is a bright spot in an otherwise tough year for Pulte Home Corporation, the owners of the Del Webb franchise since 2001.
With over 500 sales, Sun City Carolina Lakes accounts for 5% of the new home sales in the Charlotte area. So How did they do it? The dropped their prices- heavily and gave away a lot of golf carts!
Working from the Carolina MLS we get only a feel for what they sold their as they report only about 15% of their sales in the MLS- enough to keep people and Agents looking online. The Sold data is intriguing, to say the least.
Median Home Sale Prices At Sun City Carolina Lakes
Median Home sale price in 2007 was $344K, or $141 per sf on about 2443 square feet. In 2008, size and price were reduced, as buyers paid a median price of $122/sf on 1515 sf, or $184,830. Median price per sf was off 13%, but average size was off 38% as well.
The range of prices were even more interesting: In 2007, buyers paid an average (median) of 93% of list price, from $104/sf to 89/ sf.
But in 2008, they paid a median price of 80% of list, paying between $90 and $162 per sf. .. Interesting indeed.
