Back in February, 2008, I attended an event for agents at Legends at Parkview.  At that time I was impressed with the quality of the homes offered in the community.  I was also impressed with the philosophy of the builder, Sean Mayfield of Mayfield Homes.  I also liked the style of the homes, and the layouts were quite nice. 

The problem was that they launched the community just as the market was collapsing around them.  And while they were strong at the time, it didn't last... 

This premiere community has slid into foreclosure.  The remaining homes (there were 8, now there are 4 left) and the lots are all for sale by the bank.  So, now is the opportunity to buy into a luxurious community at fire sale prices... bank-owned prices. 

Three of the properties are built on a basement, all have 3 car garages.  One is a 5 bedroom/4 bath, and the others have 4 bedrooms/3.5 baths. 

The properties that are currently available are priced at:

• The Waterford on a basement - $563,400 $489,900 5br/4ba
• The Addison on a slab - $589,900 $439,900 4br/3.5ba
• The Addison on a basement - $614,900 $479,900 4br/3.5ba
• The Victoria on a basement - $735,000 $524,900 4br/3.5ba

As an aside, I really like the Addison.  It has an exceptional garage.  Aside from the spaces for 3 cars, there is about an 8' wide area along one side that would be perfect for motorcycles and/or tools. 

Obviously the prices are pretty well discounted for the remaining units in the Legends at Parkview.  There aren't that many opportunities to jump into this level of luxury in a bank-owned new home community.  The foreclosures have really pushed the prices down here...  They have sold 4 homes since June.  These will sell before long...  There were several buyers coming in to visit while I was there... on a Wednesday afternoon.
