A Quick Explanation- These guys have made their way to Spring Lake, located in Rockbridge Village, and have decided to at least for now call it home. Rockbridge Village is brand new, so I am claiming them as our first residents in the community. I'm sure I'll have plenty of chances in the future to snap more shots of this group of Canadian geese.
A Quick Explanation- Spring Lake is one of the wonderful amenities in Rockbridge Village in the Forest Acres area of Columbia, SC. Rockbridge Village is an exciting new community, one of the first new home communities in Forest Acres in years. The lake offers home owners and their guests a wonderful, scenic place to reflect on the day, fish, have a picnic, or just bask in the beauty that nature has to offer.
A quick Explanation- If you are familiar with the Forest Acres area of Columbia, SC, then you are likely aware that there has not been a new home community in Forest Acres in quite some time. Above is the master plan for Rockbridge Village, an exciting new community off of Rockbridge Road in the heart of Forest Acres. Stay tuned for more news about Rockbridge Village in the weeks to come.
No doubt that by now the world at large is well aware of the tax credit for first time home buyers being extended and expanded. In fact, with the way it has been screamed from the roof tops, unless you've been under a rock for the past couple of weeks, I don't know how you wouldn't know. I saw a not so surprising trend of buyers flying off the fence at the last minute to slip under the radar and claim their credit for the purchase of their first home.
Now that the credit has been extended, I see another not so surprising trend that has developed. Those same buyers that were in a frenzied rush to go under contract before the deadline are now in a frenzied rush to back out of their contract.
With the thought that they would miss out on the credit if they didn't act fast, there was a temporary sense of urgency created for buyers. However, now that they are insured more time to claim their "free" money, they feel as if they were rushed into a decision that they needed more time to make. As a result, many of the people I have spoken with, especially the agents in my area who sit new home communities, are seeing many of those buyers return to cancel their contracts.
I personally feel that this fallout has yet to reach it's full potential, and while these buyers will likely buy anyway, they now have no urgency. They will once again feel that they have all the time in the world to look for that "perfect deal" that truly never existed in the first place.
