According to the NAHB, changing family structures and increased longevity impact housing market. 

Baby Boomers will see their family structures change as their parents age, according to experts who spoke at the National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB) Building for Boomers & Beyond: 50+ Housing Symposium 2007. Builders, architects and trend-spotters who attended the symposium indicated that Boomer lifestyle changes will continue to influence the home building industry for the foreseeable future.

“Boomers will drive housing for at least the next 20 years,” said closing session speaker Tim Sullivan, president of San Diego-based Sullivan Group Real Estate Advisors. According to NAHB’s current economic and housing forecast, housing units sold to or occupied by 55+ households will account for more than 370,000 housing starts in 2007. Households headed by someone age 55 or older account for 21 percent of new home sales and 18 percent of the total new home buying market. Fifty-five-plus communities, including both age-qualified and non-age-qualified, account for about six percent of the home buying market.

New Hampton Lake home owners Don and Beth Martell say they “stumbled over” John Reed’s newest community while exploring real estate options in the LowCountry. The stumble led to steadier steps and a firm resolution to buy a home at Hampton Lake and soon the Martells identified the Lake Estates Coach Homes as the perfect home choice.

    “We felt like the John Reed concept was really valid,” explains Don Martell. “He took a golf course and made it into a 165-acre lake—that really appealed to us! We’re in a Coach Home, so we have great views of the lake and are right next to the Amenity Center,” they add.
    The Martells, who are originally from Texas, are not golfers, though they have vacationed in Hilton Head for some time. Their talents lie in development and interior home design, among other areas. Don was a developer for 30 years, while Beth has specialized in home décor. They are experienced buyers who were impressed by the Lake Estates Coach Homes at Hampton Lake.

    “It’s a fresh new product that is well-conceived and well-located,” points out Don. “The Coach Home brings value and then we started looking under the surface to figure out what you get for your dollar, and it’s incredible!”
    As she looks around, admiring the brand new Coach Home, Beth Martell is quick to add, “all this is standard...there are no surprises! Here, everything is just upfront and everything is included. The floor plan works for us and I think it will work for a lot of people.”
    Beth is already right about that. More than 25 elegant, maintenance-free Coach Homes have sold at Hampton Lake and Lake Estates is ahead of schedule with its next release of the popular homes. While this momentum continues, Lakeside, the exciting new amenity village adjacent to the Coach Homes, has unveiled a wide range of features and activities. Doc’s Boathouse offers regular boat cruises, Fitness Central and the Spa provide a full menu of world class treatments and exercise programs and Backwater Bill’s Restaurant in now open for lunch and dinner.

Just a quick survey of the traffic on U.S. 278 on a summer Saturday is enough to remind anyone of the incredible draw the Lowcountry continues to have. Two and a half million people travel to the Lowcountry each year – some for a golf weekend, others for a week’s retreat and some for months at a time. Whatever the duration of stay, most who visit never want to leave.

Travelers are treated to the area’s many spectacular attractions – immaculate beaches, championship golf courses, picturesque flora and fauna and rich cultural history, to name a few.

Hampton Lake, by offering designs from a variety of different builders, gives residents an array of choices rarely found in developments of its magnitude. No matter your price range, you can find something from one of Hampton Lake’s three product builders, Welden Field, Lake Estate Builders and David Weekley Homes, or one of their participating custom builders, Arkiteknic, H2 Builders, T.S. of the Lowcountry, Thad Reardon, Inc., Reflection Homes, The Tilton Group and Randy Jeffcoat Builders.

Product builder Welden Field is proud to offer Hampton Lake residents the Villa and Carriage House models. “We were excited to work with Hampton Lake because of Mr. Reed’s track record of excellence in developing lifestyle communities,” said Frank Oberlin of Welden Field. “Given the fact that Hampton Lake is an entirely fresh and new community concept, our lifestyle homes are a perfect compliment.”

Another product builder, Lake Estate Builders, offers the Coach model of home. According to Warren Flick, “The coach home has turned out to be quote successful, and we think Hampton Lake is one of the most exciting projects in the Southeast. We were thrilled to acquire the rights to build 74 of these luxury coach homes adjacent to Hampton Lake’s fantastic amenity village.”
