RALEIGH - PARADE OF HOMES MEDAL WINNERS ANNOUNCED
Raleigh Parade of Homes. Two of the three highest priced Parade Homes I suggested you see in my last post won the top two medals. The gold medal went to the DenMark Construction home in Radcliffe while the silver went to the Jayco Construction home in The Overlook at Chatsworth. Congratulations to all the winners in all the price ranges and to those with perfect scores.
With regard to million dollar homes (and above) Stacey Anfindsen, an appraiser with Birch Appraisal Group in Cary, says that 130 homes sold in Wake, Durham, Chatham, Franklin, Orange and Johnston counties during 2005 whose closing price was $1 million and above. That is slightly above the number I come up with but I bow to his knowledge and resources in that area. Through October 10 of this year my figures indicate that 126 have sold in that princely range and that another 27 are under contract. Thus, another record breaking year for the area is assured. On the flip side of that coin, there are 271 homes of $1 million plus currently listed on the Triangle Multiple Listing Service in the above referenced counties. For those of you who are familiar with the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill areas you might find it interesting to know where the majority of these homes are located - by subdivision.
Raleigh - Wakefield 26, Linville 7, Sheffield 6, North Ridge 6, The Registry 5, Chatsworth 4, Devon 4, Faircroft 3, Belmont Ridge 3, The Barony 3, Stonemoor 3 and Brier Creek 3. Raleigh - Inside the Beltline - Hayes Barton 9, Budleigh 6, Country Club Hills 4, Lakestone 3, and White Oak 3.

Chapel Hill - Governor’s Club 20
