It was shocking to see this home under construction in Maggie Valley! Long time no see construction. I noticed it Friday evening, down close to the Ghost Town in the Sky end of town. Progress I am sure has been hampered with all the snow, ice and rain we have had here in Maggie Valley, but it is nice to see something new being built.
Ironically, a couple of hours after I took this photo Friday afternoon, there was a "massive landslide" on Rich Cove Road just across Soco Road from this home, displacing at least 4 homes and quite a few families.

As I was driving by the Maggie Valley Club and its snow-covered golf course the other day, on Moody Farm Road, I noticed how naked the beautiful mountain homes at the top of the mountains were, even without a telephoto lens. The homes are way off in the distance in the first photo.
The photo below is a 'close up,' relative speaking, of the homes on the mountain above the Maggie Valley Golf Club course.

Land numbers for Haywood County NC are anorexic ~ and waiting to post them won’t make them any prettier. Haywood County includes Maggie Valley, Waynesville, Clyde, Canton and Lake Junaluska.
The chart below shows numbers for LAND sales in 2009, compared to the previous 5 years. Obviously our transactions are way down, along with dollar volume.
