BREA, CA--(Marketwire - March 23, 2011) - Providing overwhelming proof that Orange County's new-home market is on the rebound and demand for well-designed homes is on the rise, the brand-new master-planned community of Blackstone in the hills above Brea sold 17 homes during the first weekend of sales at four distinctive neighborhoods by two of the nation's premier homebuilders, Shea Homes and Standard Pacific Homes.
The sales success followed the grand opening weekend turnout of more than 5,000 enthusiastic home shoppers who said they were thrilled by the debut of one of the first new master-planned communities in Orange County in recent memory.
"When was the last time there was this much excitement surrounding a new community?" asked Janet Benavidez, vice president, sales and marketing, for Shea Homes Southern California. "The buyers we welcomed to Blackstone clearly believe that, more than ever, now is a great time to purchase a new home."
The sales were split among the four Blackstone neighborhoods: Sorano and Castillian by Standard Pacific Homes and Amber and Jade by Shea Homes. Together they present a diverse array of imaginative residential designs that blend harmoniously with Blackstone's natural setting, and they offer prices ranging from the low $500,000s to the low $1,000,000s, making Blackstone a perfect fit for a wide range of home buyers.
