An Entirely New Neighborhood
When every home in a community is the same model year, there is no resale history to price against and no established residents to ask. Your comparable sales come from neighboring communities rather than from inside this one, which is a normal condition for a first-year neighborhood and a specific thing to account for at appraisal.
Durham 27705
This is Durham's northwest quadrant, toward Duke Forest and the Hillsborough corridor — closer to Duke's campus than the east-side subdivisions and with more tree cover than the newer growth east of town.
Buying at Stonewood Estates With a Team That Builds
In a first-year community the builder's contract is the whole document set. Lot premiums, what is standard versus allowance, and the warranty terms in years one, two and ten are where the value sits — and they are all negotiable before you sign.
