Neal Communities Posts Strong March

Neal Ends First Quarter With 92 Sales.

Neal Communities sold 92 homes last month (March 2014), beating its all-time sales record from March 2013 by 11 sales. That number is up from the previous month, reinforcing that this year’s delayed season is in full swing.

“With the winter season starting later and lasting longer this year, we’ve seen a delay of visitors and potential homebuyers travelling to Florida. We expect the late but strong season to continue on through May,” said David Hunihan, director of sales for the Lakewood Ranch-based, new home builder. “We could not be more thankful for our valued customers; they’re part of the extended Neal family and we’re appreciative for their trust in us to build the home of their dreams in beautiful Southwest Florida,” said Hunihan.

March sales took place across 16 communities, spanning from Manatee to Lee Counties. Notable neighborhoods included Neal’s master-planned Grand Palm— located in Venice— with 25 sales, Central Park at Lakewood Ranch with nine sales, and Villa Palmeras in Estero with nine sales. There were also seven sales at Fairfield in Bradenton, and six at Woodbrook in Sarasota.

The builder expects several communities to reach completion this year, including the popular, family-friendly Central Park at Lakewood Ranch. Neal will grow its Florida footprint this year as well, with a planned expansion including close to a dozen new neighborhoods, several of which are already under development.
