Beights Corporation, developer of Old Trail Village, is pleased to announce that, as of this week, the total residential home sales thus far in 2010 has matched the total home sales from 2009.  2009 home sales were 29% greater than in 2008.  Additional sales of homesites are on-pace to exceed last year’s number as well (a 125% increase over 2008).  The residential sales figure includes new homes as well as existing residences, reflecting a range of styles and price points and a strong market for our current home owners.

“Our builders are working as fast as they can to satisfy demand, bringing new home products to Old Trail Village.  It appears that the market has really recovered, as people choosing new construction are experiencing steady sales of their former homes, making the process of buying a new residence easier than over the past two years,” said Justin Beights, President.

Home sales in Old Trail Village have been bolstered by the addition of a new townhome product offered by Craig Builders.  The units, located next to the Old Trail Swim Club on Old Trail Drive, start at $239,000 and offer the high-quality finishes that Craig Builders is known for throughout the area.  Single-family detached homes well suited for first time home buyers, offered by builders Eagle Construction and Piedmont Realty and Construction from $299,000, have also supported the current rise in home sales.

Site work has begun adjacent to the Old Trail Village Center on a new section of single-family homesites and town homes.

Site work and new construction abounds in Old Trail Village as we prepare to launch the new section of town homes by Craig Builders.  Located between Old Trail Drive and Claremont Circle, adjacent to the Old Trail Swim Club, these new town homes bring the high quality construction of Craig Builders in a first-time home buyer housing product.

More images will come over the next weeks as construction progresses, but we couldn’t resist posting the first, here, now.

We are pleased to announce that, after a bid process and review, Kennedy Electric has been selected to begin installation of parking lot lighting at the Old Trail Village Center.  Kennedy Electric is a Crozet-based firm serving commercial and residential customers.

Said Gaylon Beights, President of Beights Corporation, “We were impressed with Chuck Kennedy’s thoroughness in preparing his proposal, and of course, we are thrilled to support a local firm.  It’s great to have such a resource right here in Crozet.”

The fixtures selected are full cut-off, night-sky friendly lights.  This means that the lighting at the Old Trail Village Center will not create any light pollution for the skies or nearby residences.

The construction schedule will be finalized on Monday; the fixtures are on order and will be installed soon.  We thank our Old Trail Village Center customers for their patience during the construction process - it will be of short duration.  Progress and schedules will be posted on this news blog regularly.

West End Square, featuring homes by Eagle Corporation (flanking) and Piedmont Realty (center).

New home sales continue in Old Trail Village, particularly in our new section called West End Square, located in the Ballard Field neighborhood area of the Village.  These homes, built by Piedmont Realty and Construction, and Eagle Corporation offer first-time home buyers a chance to own a new, detached home at an affordable price, without sacrificing quality or construction.  The Piedmont homes in West End Square offer granite counter tops, dove-tail cabinet construction, hardwood flooring, and, most importantly, radiant heat flooring - an energy efficient detail that will make heating bills affordable, too.

Both Eagle (Lot 1) and Piedmont (Lot 9) have sold units in the West End Square section; two more specs are slated for Eagle to start in the next month.  These West End Square homes start in the high $200s and can be completed to your individual tastes.

In addition to the exciting new home sales in West End Square, buyers are appreciating the Parkview Series offered by Craig Builders.  Starting at $369,00, the Parkview Series offers a complete housing package with elegant finishes and lasting construction for which Craig Builders is known throughout our community.  In addition to the first Parkview home already sold and occupied since this summer, Craig Builders has already begun construction on another pre-sale in the series and has begun another ’spec’ home next door. These three units are really allowing a clear view of the attractive streetscape for this series facing The Common in Ballard Field.

If you’ve not yet had a chance to visit these great new homes in Old Trail Village, come by for a tour any day of the week. Visit our Welcome Center, located in the Old Trail Village Center - it is the office next to ACAC in the interior corner with the flags outside the doors.  Come see how we’re growing!

Exciting new pics of the Old Trail Village Center and Pool progress.  Pool decking (about 25,000 square feet of concrete) is being poured in sections all week.  Ted Potter, pool contractor, explained that the reason for this is to accomodate necessary expansion joints between sections.  This heavily reinforced concrete with internal wire mesh and rebar will provide a safe surface for many years to come.
