As we embark on the new year, we want to stop and reflect on the successes we have enjoyed despite undergoing an uncertain and fluctuating economic environment during 2012. Our year end report reflects that we at Carolina Mountain Real Estate (CMRE) participated in $9,145,650 in total real estate purchases, representing 32 home sites and 11 homes. Total volume reached $2,328,150 for home sites and $6,817,500 for homes. All of these properties were located within The Cliffs Mountain Region – Cliffs at Glassy, Cliffs Valley and Cliffs at Mountain Park. We are gratified that our efforts made an immediate impact, since Carolina Mountain Real Estate was only launched in mid-2012.
Sales Trends
Following is a comparison of total sales in the Cliffs Mountain Region to CMRE sales and listings:
Cliffs Mountain Region*: |

| Home Sites | 43 | $2,765,550 | 32 | $2,328,150 | 84.18% |
| Homes | 22 | $13,237,899 | 11 | $6,817,500 | 51.50% |
Compared to a total of $2,650,400 in home site purchases and $11,749,683 in home purchases in 2011, sales volume increased overall 4% for home sites and 11% for homes. We expect this upward trend to continue as the real estate market, in general, is reported to show signs of improvement both nationally and locally.
Further, we anticipate 2013 as the year of recovery for The Cliffs. The efforts of the new club ownership have resulted in renewed consumer confidence, and we believe there is pent up demand for these beautiful mountain communities. Our extensive data base offers opportunities to reach out to past discovery guests to encourage renewed enthusiasm in visiting our area.
