Both of its active adult communities have seen a high annual rate of home sales, with 36 at The Orchards of East Cherokee and 54 at The Orchards of Brannon Oak Farm. These numbers, which are close to pre-recession sales numbers that were reported by many of Atlanta’s top-selling communities, are further proof that the Atlanta real estate market is on the mend.

“We are very proud to be consistently ranked as one of Atlanta’s strongest builders solely dedicated to the active adult target audience,” said Mitch Block, sales and marketing director for The Orchards Group. “The Orchards Group has typically marketed just two properties at a time, enabling us to keep our subcontractor base consistent, our workload manageable and everyone geared towards delivering an exceptional product with an extraordinary value.”

At The Orchards of East Cherokee, located in Hickory Flat, monthly sales have averaged three homes sold while The Orchards of Brannon Oak Farm, located in Cumming, has seen monthly sales through October reach an average of 4.7 new homes sold.

The Orchards Group Continues to Break Sales Records in September

The Orchards Group is pleased to announce that they have continued to break sales records this year with the closing of eight new metro Atlanta active adult homes in the month of September.

The Orchards of East Cherokee in Hickory Flat and The Orchards of Brannon Oak Farm in Cumming each saw four home closings last month. As further evidence that the Atlanta real estate market has made drastic improvements over the last 18 to 24 months, six of the new home buyers were current metro Atlanta residents.

“When we were in the depths of the recession, 75 percent of our new homeowners were moving in from out of state,” said Mitch Block, director of sales and marketing for The Orchards Group. “The local prospective buyers simply could not sell their existing homes, which was necessary for them to be able to buy new homes.”

The improved Atlanta resale market has contributed to TheOrchards Group’s recent sales success, because they can sell to home buyers in the local active adult market, as they are now able to sell their home.

Residents at both of The Orchards Group communities will enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle, as regular landscaping is taken care of by the homeowner’s association. The weekly landscaping includes cutting, irrigation, mulch replacement and chemical treatments.
