Summary and Outlook The Re-Sale market is improving since 2010. However, many houses are languishing on the market due to over-pricing. With only 14 Heritage lots remaining, Toll Brothers is accelerating discounts and incentives for new home buyers. No Signature lots remain. In Frenchmans Reserve, fewer re-sales make selling easier now….as long as pricing is realistic. 2011 Resales will exceed New Home sales in Frenchmans Reserve by a wide margin….for the first time ever! Lot location is becoming more important and definitely affects pricing.
