| 03/12/2007: Charlotte's Housing Market Attracts Builders (Charlotte Observer): Summary: Downie Saussy has teamed with Chip Shelton and Jack Furr (Liberty Homes) to create Walker Madison Homes. (Downie owned Saussy-Burbank before selling to Arvida in 2000.) He defines Walker Madison offerings as "homes of distinctive design, craftsmanship and quality...". Among the reasons for getting back into the home building business, Saussey cites Charlotte's "...housing is appreciating at a steady 2 percent to 7 percent a year, and the region is experiencing healthy job generation and population growth." Walker Madison's first entries will be in Riverbend (MLS Area 9/3) in northwest Charlotte low $200,000+s, Herndon Heritage in Rock Hill (MLS Area 17/19) 1-acre lots, mid 300+'s, and The Woodlands in Davidson (MLS Area 1/7) in the 400's. | ||
