The Blue Ridge mountains are coming alive. Foreclosed subdivisions, abandoned homes, and forgotten building lots are now finding new proud owners. Foreclosed homes in the Blue Ridge area are down substantially, especially good ones. New developments are starting to show life with quality new constructions at a fraction of the prices as seen in 2003 to 2008 time periods. Upgrades such as granite counter tops, custom railings, tile showers, and custom stone work are now being provided in a well packaged $200,000 cabin.
New developers have purchased properties at reduced prices and in turn given a superior product for reduced prices. This is a perfect scenario for those who have been on the fence on whether now is the time to buy or wait. The cabin market has stabilized and prices are beginning to creep back up. Interest rates are still at an all time low.
Currently we have a great home on the market in Mineral Springs Ridge that is listed at $199,900. This cabin has knotty pine floors, custom cabinets, granite counters, tile showers, floor to ceiling stack stone fireplace and chimney, hand scraped beams, reclaimed mountain laurel railings, top of the ridge construction with 3 state mountain view.
