This growth in the developing market has a positive impact on the local economy, as well, as building one home provides up to 50 jobs.

Even when builders like Village Park Homes work steadily to build homes in an area, keeping up with buyer demand is sometimes a challenge. “The buyers are coming in so quickly, that we can't put up some of the houses fast enough in some of the communities," says Mr. Schwartz.

Despite rapidly growing new home sales, prices are still favorable. Village Park Homes in Bluffton range from $200,000 to $350,000. In addition, the builder offers many different types of communities featuring modest home choices to luxury models to suit the needs of all types of buyers in various budget ranges.
