By mid-December, Echota (Foscoe Realty) had posted 39 total sales – 29 resales and 10 Chalakee purchases which is slightly up from 2009 and 2010. “We’re excited about what’s happening,” says Will Sears, director of sales. “The more we hear about things that are going on around us, the more proud we are about what we have accomplished over the past 12 months.”

Over the past three years, there have been 115 total sales in the Echota communities. “Those aren’t the kind of numbers we saw from 2005 through 2008, but it’s clear Echota’s appeal is still very strong even in a slow market,” Will says. He also points out that Foscoe Realty was a part of 113 of those 115 sales. “It goes to show that our sales professionals sell the features and benefits of Echota better than any other real estate professionals in the High Country,” Will adds.

Will attributes the current selling success to the Chalakee marketing budget. “There is no doubt the Chalakee budget is helping to drive Echota’s resales,” he says. Since its debut in Summer 2010, Chalakee has seen 16 closings. “We welcome these new homeowners as they enjoy their new place during the holidays,” says Will. In addition, there are eight more Chalakee units under construction and an additional building currently under construction.
