Murphy NC-Log Home Developments Continue to Lead the Market-While Western North Carolina and the Murphy/Cherokee County area specifically, is beginning to see the market shift, and a resurgence of Buyers once again spending money on Vacation/Second homes, there can be little doubt that the local market's big winner over the Winter has been The Retreat, a small log home/log sided community that has been sizzeling in the local market. Land for The Retreat was only purchased in August 2008, but the Developers/Builders hit the ground running, not taking time to worry about depressed markets that national media were lamenting. Rather they concentrated on building a quality product that today's Baby Boomer could purchase with cash if needed. That philosophy has proved more than successful as it has kept The Retreat's buiding crews busy throughout the winter. More importantly, the log/log sided cabins being built have all sold, with more under contract to be built. The national news may be telling the country to be careful, but the log home builder's are too busy keeping up with their sales contracts to notice.
