Pulte’s Elm Creek Highlands Sales Accelerate in 2012 – Plymouth MN and Wayzata Schools
This weekend I made a point to stop by and check in with the many developments being built in northwest Plymouth. Elm Creek Highlands is being built by Pulte Homes. It’s located across the street from the Wayzata High School at Peony Lane and Schmidt Lake Road.
When I pulled in to the development I could see that there were already 3 or 4 customers there based upon the cars in the parking lot. When I walked in to the model home, it was quite busy with activity. One of the sales agents told me that they had already sold 8 homes since January 1st. That’s impressive and is a sign that new construction is back with a vengeance in northwest Plymouth!
Interested in new construction in the area, be sure to request the Plymouth, MN New Construction Report.

Home Builders Continue Optimism
The National Association of Home Builders Confidence Index was just published and the builders are continuing to see signs of improvement in the housing market.
The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo said Wednesday that its builder sentiment index rose for a fifth straight month in February to 29, up from 25 in January. The index has climbed 15 points since September and is now at its highest level since May 2007.
Chart: Calculated Risk Blog
As the builders confidence levels continues to grow, we will start to see more information that the economy is improving. Home construction used to be a leading indicator. It is now a lagging indicator with this housing crash we’ve been living through. The fact that home builders are more encouraged today than they have been in about 5 years is a sign that perhaps the economy is stronger than what you read about in the major media outlets.

Lennar’s The Enclave Neighborhood, Medina, MN – New Construction, Wayzata Schools
I took this photos this summer when Lennar was just breaking ground on their newest neighborhood, The Enclave, in Medina, MN. This is located on the east side of Hunter Drive between Hamel Road and Medina Road. It’s a phenomenal location and I suspect will be a beautiful neighborhood. The setting is about perfect and it’s across the street from one of Medina’s parks complete with a basement field, playground, volleyball court and a tennis court. Enjoy the pictures. I’ll try to get some more current photos up soon!
