New Phase at The Ponds Now Selling

The Ponds, a single-family home community from Kolter Homes, has released a new phase of highly anticipated home sites. Nestled on 1,000 acres of preserved farmland in Summerville, South Carolina, these home sites are located adjacent to the Village Pond, just steps from the onsite amenities. Prospective buyers are encouraged to join the VIP list for exclusive access to these desirable home sites.

“The new phase at The Ponds features some of our best home sites, including several surrounded by relaxing views of the lakes and preserves,” said Jeff Vandewiel, community director. “All of the homes in this phase are located near the amphitheater and the Farmhouse Social Center, which further encourages residents to get outside, exercise and explore nature.”

Priced from the $400,000s, homes offer unmatched flexibility and comfort. Homes feature two to five bedrooms, and homeowners enjoy gourmet kitchens with islands and granite countertops, second-floor bonus rooms and spacious owner suites with oversized showers and double vanities. Prospective buyers can visit the on-site Design Studio to explore structural options and hundreds of interior selections. Additional bedrooms and expanded rooms are easily added and flex rooms can transform into a home office or fitness room.

Outdoor recreation abounds at The Ponds. The Farmhouse Social Center presents a collaborative environment for resident gatherings and events, while the pool offers a refreshing break from daily life. Outdoor amenities include a community garden, an onsite YMCA and a treehouse for kids. Opportunities to fish, boat and kayak can be found at the community ponds and nearby Schulz Lake. Residents can also explore miles of walking trails that weave across the preserved farmland terrain.

Located in Summerville, The Ponds is situated near local restaurants and stylish boutiques in a small-town atmosphere. Summerville is renowned as The Birthplace of Sweet Tea and hosts an annual Sweet Tea Festival, further solidifying its Southern charm. Minutes from Charleston, this community is convenient to major thoroughfares and urban amenities.

The Ponds will feature 211 homes at completion, with 41 homes already released. The decorated models will be available for touring in early 2026.

Nine Carolina Cities Make Improving Markets List for April

US MapNine cities in North and South Carolina made the list of housing markets showing measurable improvement in April. Compiled by the National Association of Home Builders and First American Improving Markets Index (IMI), April’s list included 101 metropolitan areas across the nation.

Seven North Carolina cities:  Burlington, Charlotte, Goldsboro, Greensboro, Greenville, Rocky Mount and Winston-Salem made the list. Charleston and Spartanburg made the list for South Carolina.

The IMI identifies metro areas that show increases over a six month period for each of the respective lows related to employment, housing permits and house prices. The data is collected from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US Census Bureau and Freddie Mac. The list of 101 cities is up from the 99 listed in March, with 11 slipping from the list and 13 new ones being added.

“While housing markets across the country continue to struggle under the weight of overly tight lending conditions and other challenges, the April IMI indicates that at least 101 individual metros are showing measurable and consistent signs that they are headed in the right direction,” said NAHB Chairman Barry Rutenberg. “A total of 35 states are now represented on the list, with 10 states having four or more entries. This positive news is in line with what our builder members have observed regarding firming conditions and improved buyer interest in certain locations.”

The National Association of Home Builders is a trade organization of 140,000 plus members involved in multifamily construction, home building, subcontracting, remodeling, housing finance, property management, building product manufacturing, design and more. NAHB builder members are expected to be involved in 80 percent of new housing projects this year.
