Study ranks Eagle Springs 13th in nation for 2009 new-home sales
Eagle Springs was the number one community for new-home sales in the Humble/Northeast Houston submarket in 2009, and was the 13th top-selling community in the United States, according to a survey by RCLCO, an independent real estate advisory firm.
With 206 new-home sales in 2009, Eagle Springs also ranked as the sixth best-selling community in Houston and in Texas in the study, which RCLCO has completed annually since 1994.
A 1,360-acre community, Eagle Springs is a development of Newland Communities, and two other Newland developments in Houston were also included in the RCLCO list. Cinco Ranch in west Houston was ranked number one in the nation, and Telfair in Sugar Land ranked fourth.
The strong showing by Humble and Houston in the RCLCO study underscores the fact that the greater Houston region is a bright spot in the national economy, said Ted Nelson, Central Region President for Newland Communities.
“In the past few months, Houston has ranked very high in studies ranging from the nation’s healthiest housing markets to cities where the recession is easing. In fact, Atascocita was recently named the fastest-growing city in Texas by Bloomberg BusinessWeek,” he said. “Overall, the Houston communities on RCLCO’s top 15 list represented nearly 2,700 new-home sales, nearly three times the number in the second ranked metro, Las Vegas.”
Nelson noted that Eagle Springs is poised for another successful year in 2010, with the recent addition of new homebuilders including Ashton Woods, which has opened a new model showcasing plans priced from the $200,000s in the Barton Ridge neighborhood. The Humble Independent School District also plans to open a second onsite school in the community, Atascocita Springs Elementary, in August.
Eagle Springs offers new homes priced from the $130,000s to $500,000s. More information is available at www.eaglespringstx.com.
