Investment leads to home building…and we are building!
“Building on the estate is another big highlight along with our accolades received. And I am sure the accolades and the enormously successful PGA Championship have contributed to the renewed interest. Property and home prices are steadily increasing, and home sales are at record highs, with several owners who have sold, reinvesting again.”
