Last month, we posed the question to our audience: If you were to purchase a homesite in a master planned community, which of the following would influence your purchasing decision the most? LANDTHINK.com, an authoritative online resource for advice, knowledge, opinions and trends related to land, is pleased to announce the March Pulse results. Our informal online survey, sponsored by SouthStar Communities, revealed that location means everything when people are considering a homesite purchase in a master planned community. Purchasing land within a master-planned community offers buyers a unique lifestyle in some of the most coveted areas of the United States. Premier developers, like SouthStar Communities, provide land for sale that offers customers peaceful country living with all the conveniences of the city. Typically, master-planned communities include a multitude of amenities and activities like golf courses, lakes, bike paths, jogging trails, wineries, boating and community clubhouses boasting pools and spas. A total of 41.0% of respondents felt that location of the community was of utmost importance when considering a land purchase in a master-planned community.
LANDTHINK subscribers, fans, followers and land industry professionals across the country voiced their opinion on what features of a master planned community would influence their purchasing decision the most. Here’s a breakdown of the final results:
41.0% said Location of Community
20.0% said Homesite Views (waterfront, mountain, golf, wooded)
17.4% said Price
12.5% said Amenities (golf, pools, nature trails, tennis courts, horseback riding)
9.1% said Size of Homesite

You should also include topography as a major factor influencing the purchase decision. Sometimes the cost is much higher to deal with topography issues. Also, in some areas, soil composition is a big issue. In our area, we have expansive clay soil on some home sites.
