CP Real Estate Sales for 2024
Last year’s residential sales here in Country Place were in line with prior years in terms of numbers, but prices have begun to moderate. Interest rates remained relativity high, fluctuating between 6.25 and 7% and affecting home affordability. (You can see more detail about the homes that sold here.) One address that appears twice on […]
New Pavement for Country Place Coming
Earlier this year, we showed a home for sale here in Country Place. The buyers liked the home, but they were turned off by the condition of the roads here. As realtors, Andrea and I are always sensitive to buyers’ negative impressions, so we are glad to report that the re-paving of Country Place county […]
More Directory Changes Coming
In putting together the CPCA Directory, we always have to keep an eye on last-minute changes in order to publish the most accurate and up-to-date information. A few weeks ago there were zero homes on the market in our neighborhood; now there are five properties for sale in Country Place, ranging in price from $450,000 […]

Transformations
Over the years we’ve watched some amazing transformations of homes in Country Place. The Tates, the Flannigans, the McCords, the Shepards, and the Millers have made obvious updates to their exteriors (and often to interiors). Interior updates like kitchens and bathrooms aren’t visible from the street, but they certainly impact the value of our homes. […]
CP Real Estate: Property Tax Shock
I had a call on Saturday from a friend who had received her property tax notice. She was upset, near tears, because her home’s value had been more than doubled in the past year. While hers is an unusual case, I have spoken to several neighbors whose appraisals appreciated by 15-30%. If you are planning […]

Goodbye Lowells, Welcome Mitchells
The Lowell’s are moving. We put their home on the market on a Friday and there was a feeding frenzy over the next couple of days…they received four offers…two at asking price and two over! The Mitchell’s will be moving to Country Place soon…they wrote a charming letter which reassured all of us that we […]
Morning Walk: New Neighbors
One of the benefits of living in Country Place is the ability to take walks surrounded by trees and many beautifully landscaped yards. It’s also a great place to catch up with neighbors, as I did last Monday morning. One of the folks I ran across is Aaron Finley. He and his wife bought the […]
Protesting Your Property Taxes
Several of our neighbors have called recently, asking for data to help in protesting their new property tax valuations, some of which have been 10% higher than last year’s. That is an unusually large increase, and coming in a tumultuous year like this one, looks overly aggressive, at least in many cases. So, in order […]

Well neighbors, mask and gloves be-darned, Country Place continues to attract buyers even during the Covid-19 scare. Both 18650 Big Timber (the former Hildebrand/Alexander home) and 19043 Lakeshore Dr (the Magee’s) are under contract, going through the 10-day option period when inspections are being done. The only Country Place properties currently for sale on our […]
