Charlotte New Homes- The Sanctuary on Lake Wylie, Inventory Report 11-08
November 8th, 2008 Categories: Buy A Charlotte Home, Lake Wylie NC and SC, luxury homes in charlotte
There are Big Savings on Inventory Homes, Custom Homes and Luxury Real Estate in Charlotte NC- Here is what is available at The Sanctuary for closing by year end.
The homes below are from the Sanctuary, the area’s #1 Selling new home community in the “over $1M Luxury home” category. These are larger inventory homes that I could get great deals on before years end. Builders need to move these units, we NEVER pay retail, and in many cases we can buy them at or slightly above their replacement cost, a floor that can’t be lowered- and some will do more. And your savings with TerryMcDonaldRealEstate.com continue as well- we rebate 1) Any Realtor bonuses to you 2) Buyer commissions above 3% 3) on homes over $1M, there is always a 1% Rebate to the Buyer. So on a $500,000 home with a 4% commission, the Buyer gets a $5,000 rebate for using our excellent services (IMHO), that you probably would/could or should be using anyway, on a $1M home with a 3% commission, the buyer would receive $10,000 Rebate. Throughout Charlotte, custom homes, luxury homes, Custom Homes priced from the 400K’s, to a waterfront beauty at $2M.

Waterfront Beauty on Lake Wylie- A Bargain in Reflection Pointe
November 4th, 2008 Categories: Buy A Charlotte Home, Lake Wylie NC and SC
A waterfront home on Lake Wylie with dock, stunning views, pier, close to the Charlotte airport, elegance in every room, over 8000 SF, at $1,999,000 a bargain
Details are what set homes apart- and in custom luxury homes at this level, the details should be impressive… and they are. Check out the details in the pictures below at 3524 Ashwood Park in Belmont, the gated community is Reflection Pointe, in an up and coming area west of Charlotte, the most convenient waterfront to Charlotte’s Douglas International Airport.
Some of the details include: a large family home on the water, facing southwest with fantastic water views and access from over 100 of shoreline, great water views from all bedrooms, 12′ ceilings on the first floor, master on the main, a chef’s kitchen, covered boat storage, downstairs guest suite with full kitchen, extraordinary light fixtures, travertine upstairs and downstairs, exercise/theater room, huge storage area, dock, lift and covered boat area made with synthetic decking, large 2nd story bonus room and a view from just about every room.
The size, included items, waterfront location in a gated community should add up to a total in the mid $2M’s. Have a look for yourself, and you be the judge.
This is a one of a kind home less than 30 minutes to the Charlotte Airport… easy in and easy out. Quality custom building costs $200/sf plus land in Charlotte. Developed waterfront lots like this one typically sell at 5-600K at Lake Wylie. It is ready in December.

NEW Charlotte Homes Over $1Million| The Sanctuary is in First Place in 2008
October 24th, 2008 Categories: Buy A Charlotte Home, Lake Wylie NC and SC
The Sanctuary on Lake Wylie is Leading the Charlotte area in New home Sale over $1M after 3 Quarters…
But its a close race… In a year when many thought the Charlotte “over $1M home sale” was dead, three communities have done quite well. The Sanctuary by Crescent Communities has a small lead over the Club at Longview and both have a bit larger lead over The Point on Lake Norman. This is interesting because of the closeness of the race between the Sanctuary and Longview, and the great contrast between the communities.
The Club at Longview is quite obviously a country club, and quite a
spectacular one at that- with the areas only Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, and a clubhouse and “family play center” that is hard to find anywhere at any price. Large homes on long fairways abound. Here is a past Longview Country club post
The Sanctuary takes a different view, and provides space for familes to spread out, to grow, and the ultimate in privacy with homes situated on a minimum of 2.5 acres, many are on 3, 5, or even 8 acre estate sites. (There were 2 waterfront sites at 10 acres each!) More on the Sanctuary here
The compiling of these stats were not entirely scientific. I used the MLS, requested information on any unlisted custom homes, an my own personal knowledge of sales in each. I’ll do better for the year ends!
Cost per square foot? These two Charlotte luxury communities are just about tied-
of the 10 properties for sale at the Club at Longview, the average sales price is $2,131,000 and $307 per sf. The Sanctuary? The 4 homes here average $1,880,000 and $295 per sf.

The Palisades at Lake Wylie- Ryan a Hit under $400,000
August 29th, 2008 Categories: Lake Wylie NC and SC
Ryan at The Palisades- Popular Floor Plans Plus Palisades Amenities
Ryan homes offers two communities at the Palisades, Briarcliff and Morningside, in the Palisades, that you can build a new home in the under $400K range, some as low as the 350’s. Offering their sunroom for “free” ( a 15K Option they routinely offer as a throw in) Ryan is offering the new home models people love to buy- even in this market! As other builders wither, Ryan is holding up strong in the Charlotte area and will, more than likely, be the largest volume builder in Charlotte in 2008 again.
Ryan does not build inventory homes, so everything is built to order, taking 5-7
months. They do accept contingencies, and contingencies falling through act as their “inventory.” On the model tour, always ask “What is an option?” because Ryanis notorious for needing $50 to 80k in “option”s other builders often consider standard.
Three caveats to buying a Ryan home? (Summarized from my 10 Essentials for Buying a New Home)
The best homes are part of a bigger community- like these two- at the Palisades. Communities add more to long term value than builders, and the Palisades is a winner, a Terry’s Top Ten Community in Charlotte.
As always - do not buy the first house in (no matter what the incentives) and do not buy the most expensive home in the neighborhood… your best position is always the least expensive home in the most expensive neighborhood you can afford.
