Corporate Relocations Drive Jump in New Home Sales in Spring Master Planned Community of Harmony

SPRING, TX  – Current Montgomery County residents looking for new homes and a wave of corporate relocations have led to a big uptick in new home sales in the Spring master-planned community of Harmony where sales for the first half of 2014 are more than doubled compared to the same time period from a year ago.

The 1,000-acre north Houston community by The Johnson Development Corp. finished the first half of 2014 with 128 new home sales. By comparison, the community completed the first half of 2013 with 51 new home sales.

The average new home sales price in Harmony for the first half of 2014 was just over $348,000 with homes averaging 3,201 square feet, according to Faith Bailes, Harmony’s marketing manager and Realtor relations director for Harmony.

Bailes attributes the sharp increase in the community’s new home sales to current Montgomery County residents in the market for a new home looking to stay in the area.  Sixty-two percent of Harmony’s new home buyers stated Spring, Conroe or The Woodlands as their previous address.

Those moving to the area to work at the nearby ExxonMobil campus, Anadarko and other major employers which have expanded or relocated to South Montgomery County also are helping drive the community’s new home sales, she says.

Bailes adds Harmony’s selection of homes from seven builders, all-new aquatics complex, access from Rayford Road and proximity to the Spring Greek Greenway are also big selling points for families considering the community.

“There’s great interest in Harmony right in our backyard,” she says.  “Combine that with the growing number of relocating families seeking a new home near their workplace and it’s easy to see why Harmony has become a preferred choice for those considering a Spring master-planned community.”

Earlier this year, Taylor Morrisson purchased 150 acres in Harmony for a new neighborhood, Allegro at Harmony.

Plans for Allegro at Harmony call for approximately 500 new homes with some of its sections offering vehicular access gates.  Harmony’s second resort-style pool and covered pavilion, along with a recreation center with workout and meeting rooms, also will be added.

Harmony offers new homes from the $230’s – $450’s from Ashton Woods Homes, Darling Homes, Highland Homes, Perry Homes, Village Builders and Westin Homes. Families in the master-planned community attend schools in the highly acclaimed Conroe Independent School District.

Harmony also is just minutes from South Montgomery County’s world-class shopping, dining and entertainment.
