Gibraltar Homes of Sarasota Florida Reports $7 Million in Sales in 60 Days

Nov. 22, 2009 - PRLog -- Luxury home builder Gibraltar Homes announced a significant increase in sales for August and September according to Jimmy Stewart, Director of Sales. Stewart reported that Gibraltar posted 10 sales over the last 60 days representing nearly $7 million in gross sales for the company during the third quarter. This number represents an unheard of average of $700,000 per home in today's market. Sales activity was brisk in each community where Gibraltar Homes are currently building including Country Club East at Lakewood Ranch, Legends Bay and Legends Cove at IMG Academies and Bougainvillea Place in Ellenton.

   "We are optimistic that these sales are a good indication the local market has reached a higher level of recovery, stated Stewart, we're extremely encouraged and hopeful that this trend will continue. We're seeing excellent traffic at each of our sales offices, particularly our be-back or return visitors, who certainly have a renewed interest in making the buying decision now. We believe the buyers today have recognized the tremendous value currently being offered. These buyers don't want to miss this opportunity."

The trend of including personal selections and customizations to the home seemed to evaporate during 2007 and 2008 but that's not the case with these buyers. According to Stewart, in addition to the increased sales activity, the Gibraltar buyers are selecting more luxury items from the array of choices at the exclusive corporate 3500 square feet design studio.

Per home sales figures ranged from the mid $100's at Bougainvillea Place to over $1 million dollars in Country Club East and Legends Bay. An important element in this highly successful quarter was the introduction of the attractively priced, with standard custom features plans, in the walk to everything, highly amenitized community of Bougainvillea Place. The communications plan placed behind the introduction of this neighborhood created a list of qualified traffic to keep the team busy for awhile. Another indicator of the market return with customers responding to sales messages and visiting the sales centers.
