Amberly, a master-planned community located in Cary, N. C., has surpassed the Wake County mark for most contracted new home sales by a residential community for a calendar year.
Amberly has recorded 573 contracted homes sales through Oct. 1, 2006. The previous mark for contracted sales by a Triangle community, set between Jan. 1 - Dec. 31 2005, was 475.
"We're extremely pleased at the response we've received from homebuyers, not just in the Triangle, but from those relocating here from around the country," said Bob Jones, general manager for Amberly and GS Carolina's Raleigh division.
The home sales at Amberly have been powered by KB Home's Lexington Park, Arlington Park and Washington Square neighborhoods, which combined for 182 homes sales, and the state's first Del Webb active adult community, Carolina Preserve at Amberly, with 331 sales. Pulte Homes' Blackstone neighborhood sold 60 homes.
To date, Amberly has sold 725 homes, and its Arlington Park and Blackstone neighborhoods are on the verge of selling out.

The Bedford Builder Group, a team of premier local and regional homebuilders, is expected to begin construction and home sales at Amberly's Village Square neighborhood later this year.
"The development and builder team set its goals very high for Amberly, and the homebuilders deserve the credit for delivering," said Jones. GS Carolina expects the pace to continue next year as it begins to roll out the community's amenities.
The developer is currently constructing the community's residents' club and additional amenities that represent Four Elements of Amberly - Education, Wellness, Environment and Technology. "We expect these concepts, along with the unmatched lifestyles and opportunities they provide, to continue to establish Amberly as the premier community in the Triangle area," said Jones.
