Good time to sell old<br />
home, buy new<br />
Kevin Weaks<br />
With inventories at notable lows, a growing<br />
number of homeowners agree that now<br />
is a good time to sell a home and get an<br />
optimum sale price, according to the quarterly<br />
Housing Opportunities and Market<br />
Experience survey from the National Association<br />
of Realtors.<br />
During the second quarter, 76 percent of<br />
Midwest homeowners responded that now<br />
is a good time to sell. The reason? Home<br />
prices are being driven up, by bidding wars<br />
among buyers competing for the limited<br />
supply of available homes, and by low<br />
mortgage rates.<br />
Here’s what’s new in new homes:<br />
Fischer & Frichtel’s luxury villas selling<br />
quickly in St. Albans<br />
Set on a tree-lined plateau with commanding<br />
views of St. Albans, Village View<br />
is Fischer & Frichtel’s newest detached<br />
luxury villa offering. This cul-de-sac haven<br />
of just eight homesites has captured the<br />
imagination of buyers.<br />
Two owners are in residence, and another<br />
villa is under construction. The Showcase<br />
“Campton” display opened in early May<br />
and already has been claimed, and another<br />
for-sale Showcase Campton is scheduled<br />
for delivery in the fall, leaving only three<br />
open sites still available for purchase.<br />
Community sales manager Kristy Roderick<br />
explained the impressive sales pace,<br />
saying, “Village View is truly unique. It<br />
can’t be duplicated and can’t be expanded.”<br />
Perfectly suited to the scenic environment,<br />
Fischer’s Luxury Villa Collection<br />
features free-standing, two-bedroom<br />
ranches with two- or three-car garages,<br />
2,070 to 2,385 square feet on the main floor<br />
and the option of a finished lower level.<br />
Each residence is meticulously crafted<br />
from foundation to finish, incorporating<br />
the premium materials, components and<br />
designer appointments that characterize<br />
all homes built by Fischer & Frichtel. Pricing<br />
starts from $426,900, and purchasers<br />
have considerable freedom to customize,<br />
assisted by the firm’s professional designers.<br />
A monthly enhancement fee provides<br />
owners with exterior maintenance services.<br />
Then there’s St. Albans, long-established<br />
as one of the region’s most prestigious<br />
destinations: thousands of acres of rolling<br />
hills; the private country club and immaculate<br />
golf courses; a short walk to the lake,<br />
Head’s Store and landmarks – all just minutes<br />
west of Wildwood Town Center.<br />
Only four opportunities remain in Village<br />
View of St. Albans. Photos and complete<br />
details are posted on the company website,<br />
www.fandfhomes.com, and Roderick welcomes<br />
questions at (314) 393-9526.<br />
Roderick also is responsible for The<br />
Estates at Deer Hollow, Fischer & Frichtel’s<br />
luxury single-family neighborhood<br />
in Wildwood, where a closeout sale is<br />
currently in progress. Open for viewing<br />
daily, Deer Hollow has two move-in-ready<br />
homes and the magnificent “Wyndham”<br />
display, specially priced from $559,900 to<br />
$699,900.<br />

Village, you may customize exteriors<br />
and colors from an approved list. Large<br />
