"Cattail Creek offers some of the best homes at the best value in Chatham County," said Stan Williams, CEO of Stanton Homes.

Stanton Homes makes every home an exceptional living experience, with details like multiple-piece crown moulding, arched openings, and dozens of designs of trey ceilings.

Master baths are terrific retreats, with tile floors, custom tile tub surrounds, and tile showers with custom glass enclosures.

"The value at Cattail Creek really stands out," said Williams.

"New home inventory in Chatham County is down 16% from this time last year, meaning there are fewer choices. The $200-$399K price point inventory is down about 30% from the same period last year, which again reflects the popularity of homes in this area and particularly this price point. This area is incredibly well known - especially for a community in the country - and appreciation is high, at nearly 5%. In light of the negative national market, this really verifies the bottom line."

Only three nearly-complete Stanton Homes are currently available in Cattail Creek.

And a few of the Cattail Creek lots remain available for homebuyers to bring in their own floor plan - or choose from thousands of available through Stanton Homes, which builds throughout the Raleigh Triangle region.

"When you build with Stanton Homes, you won't own the same house you see next door," said Williams. "Every home has its own unique features, because we build it exactly the way you want it - with personality that fits your lifestyle. Building in Cattail Creek is especially enjoyable - there are a lot of good reasons why it's a destination of choice in one of the most desirable counties in the nation. Fast Internet access gives it one more huge plus."

Veterans Offered Opportunity to Tell Their Stories and Become Part of History - Desperate Need for Documents to Recreate Service Records

Triangle custom home builder Stanton Homes is pleased to announce the first National Veterans History Event in Chatham County on Saturday July 19th, as a volunteer service in conjunction with the Cary-based National History Archival Institute.

At no cost, Stanton Homes and the NHAI will record stories of military service, in the voice of those who have served. They are looking for personal accounts of day-to-day activities as well as history-changing conflicts, to become a part of the nation's historical records.

"We want to capture the memories of local heroes - no matter when or where they served," said Stan Williams, CEO of Stanton Homes. "If you know any veterans who may be interested in sharing stories of their service for our country, please let them know about the National History Project, and this local opportunity."

Veterans are urged to bring their service records and any other documentation. In some cases, these are the only remaining records of military service, as millions of records were destroyed in a 1973 fire.

Stanton Homes and the NHAI will carefully photograph each of these personal documents, which will become part of the NHAI's attempt to help reconstruct these service records. Reconstructed records will allow military burial honors to former servicemembers who otherwise may be denied, as no records of their service still exist in government facilities.

"Veterans want to be interviewed because they have a sense of duty that goes beyond self. Most veterans will gladly tell their story, if they would just be asked. We have not asked, but we are asking now," said Dave Milidonis, veteran and founder of the NHAI. "If we wait any longer, first hand accounts of our WWII and Korean War veterans will be lost forever. We want to be sure that we are moving quickly to record these, as well as more recent accounts of service in Afghanistan and Iraq."

Stanton Homes will be hosting these veteran interviews on Saturday July 19th from 12pm-4pm in Cattail Creek, about 10 minutes northwest of Pittsboro.

"The NHAI told us they needed a place for veterans to relax and tell their stories in the area of Siler City, Pittsboro, and Chapel Hill," said Williams. "We're pleased to offer a comfortable environment, with refreshments for the men and women in uniform we consider to be heroes, along with their families."

Appointments are recommended, and drop-ins are welcome. Contact Stanton Homes at 919-278-8070, or Dave Milidonis of the NHAI at 919-449-5440, or by email Info@StantonHomes.com. Call or email for complete directions to the interview site.

"Whether a veteran of WWII, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq, or peacetime operations, you have a unique story, and we the nation want to hear it," said Williams.

Copies of interviews will be sent to the National Archives in Washington DC (wartime records only), stored with NHAI, and also given to the Armed Forces member to save as part of their family history.


About the National Veterans History Archival Institute
There are over 20 million veterans living in the United States today, and every day we lose 1,600 of them. Motivated by the urgent need to collect the stories and experiences of veterans while they are still among us, the United States Congress created the Veterans History Project. As a collecting partner, the NVHAI is serving under Public Law 106-380 to collect and preserve audio- and video-oral histories, along with documentary materials such as letters, diaries, maps, photographs, and home movies of America's veterans and those who served in support of them.
Find out more at http://veteranshistoryinstitute.org/, or email Dave Milidonis at info@veteranshistoryinstitute.org.

Millions of Americans - Millions of Stories

Tell your story -- no story or sacrifice too small.......

In 1973 a tragic fire destroyed millions of service records of our service men and women.

You may have the only existing record of their service included with your records, travel orders, separation documents and other listings.

Please share your records with us and help restore the service history of those whose records were lost - as well as share your stories in an interview.

Wartime and peacetime veterans welcome, including Merchant Marines.

Custom Homes on Acreage

Cattail Creek offers 1-2 acre lots

Custom Homes on wooded acreage remain in demand, and Cattail Creek has a popular combination - affordable homes with custom designs on private 1-2 acre lots.

Stanton Homes is pleased to announce that Cattail Creek is now the number five top community in all of Chatham County on a total unit sales basis, according to first quarter real estate results.

Sales are monitored for all subdivisions and neighborhoods in Chatham County, for both new homes and resales. Cattail Creek offers new homes on acreage in Chatham County.

"We have been seeing even stronger interest in the community this year than last, so these results verify the on-the-street sentiment we've been experiencing," said Stan Williams, CEO of Stanton Homes.

"Homebuyers are looking for value, and Cattail Creek is truly a find. Lots and lots of trees, beautiful, spacious living and that countryside feeling you just can't get anywhere else - it's often just what people are looking for in a home where they can truly relax and feel at peace - without paying a hefty price."

Cattail Creek offers new custom homes in the $250s to $350s on heavily wooded of 1.4 acres and up. Several custom builders offer homes in the neighborhood, which is 20 minutes from Chapel Hill and 10 minutes from Pittsboro.

"Stanton Homes is proud of the homes we build in this development," said Williams. "As in all of our custom homes, you'll find extensive tile in kitchens, breakfast rooms, laundry rooms, and bathrooms. And we personalize each home further with our signature archways, barrel vault ceilings, and extensive trim packages."

There are only two Stanton Homes models left at this time that are nearly ready for occupancy in Cattail Creek, but a third is at the foundation stage and a fourth is just breaking ground.

"There's still some availability remaining within the eighteen lots which were just released, for home owners who want to choose their own house plan" said Williams. "At Cattail Creek, you won't own a home just like the one next door - each home is chosen from thousands of plans - including your own."

Chatham County is a destination of choice for homebuyers whose life styles incorporate interests from the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill cultures to Jordan Lake, the Haw River, The Preserve golf course, and the Silk Hope winery.

"The value at Cattail Creek really stands out in this environment," said Williams. "New home inventory in Chatham County is up only four percent over this time last year - and that additional inventory is centered in price points up to three times higher than our homes - in developments where houses cost more than $600K."

Statistics for this report have been secured from performance of the overall real estate market and individual communities, monitored by third party organizations such as SMA Publications, which publishes the Triangle Area Residential Realty Reports.
