KB Atlanta President is Coming to Speak with Us - Fri. 1/11/08 6PM
Neighbors,
The President of KB Atlanta, Mr. Greg Duriez, came to Hampton Oaks this past Friday, along with members of the KB Atlanta team, to discuss the future plans for the Hampton Oaks community.
While we promised to post minutes from the meeting here, there was so much information shared that it would be impossible to cover everything. So I'll just highlight the key points.
A few neighbors collected some of the prevailing concerns around the neighborhood and presented them in a letter to Mr. Duriez, prior to the meeting which he addressed in most of his presentation. The questions revolved around how KB is responding the housing slump in their sales and marketing planning for Hampton Oaks.
Mr. Duriez assured us that KB is totally invested in the success and growth of the Hampton Oaks community and is being very strategic in their marketing efforts. Prices were lowered in many of the KB home communities including Atlanta's other Martha Stewart development, Wynchase, as a first reaction to the change in market conditions.
New prices start in the $180's, slightly less than what the market allowed just one year ago, however with KB's build-to-order model, buyers can still expect to spend in excess of $200,000 with the addition of upgrades and options.
KB has also decided to discontinue the least popular Martha Stewart models, the ones that did not sell very well in the first phase, and introduce a line of Martha Stewart ranch plans. The ranch plans target baby boomers, who would enjoy a community like Hampton Oaks and would have enough equity in their current homes to sell and walk away with a significant down payment on a new home.
KB Atlanta has exercised their option to purchase a total of approximately 200 home sites from developer, PEC at this point. That number will increase as we start to see the positive effect of the new marketing strategies. The neighborhood expressed a sincere interest in supporting KB's new marketing effort in many ways, including offering testimonials and planning events for potential new neighbors.
Mr. Duriez also suggested that if neighbors were willing to show their homes to potential buyers, particularly homes that do not have an available model, that KB would offer a Home Depot gift card as a thank you. If anyone is interested in signing up for that program, contact the sales office for more information.
Mr. Duriez pledge to continue to keep the neighborhood clean and free of construction debris as they continue to build and if we should happen to find that they are falling short of that commitment to call the warranty line, file a claim and they will come out and take care of it right away.
Overall it was a very productive meeting. Many of our questions were answered and most of the neighbors felt comfortable with KB's new strategy for growing our neighborhood. We will work together to keep the lines of communication open between the neighbors and KB and feel sure that Hampton Oaks will continue to be a place that we are proud to call home.
Our property managers were also present and announced that they are planning a meeting on January 29th to address concerns about property maintenance, clubhouse management and the formation of a homeowners' association.
Please check back here for updates.
