The year is starting off strong! In January, we had over 520 guests visit the Sales Center - the highest level in a January since 2005. In addition, there have been 10 real estate sales so far in 2013.

The Toscana Sales Center continues to be the overall volume leader in Toscana with 90% (9) of all the transactions in 2013 including 7 resales! See below for the complete summary of the sales activity and other highlights:

• 8 resale homes and estate homesites (7 sold by Toscana).

We are well on our way to accomplishing 50 new homesites that will trigger the completion of the final eight holes on the North Course. The Sales Team at the Toscana Sales Center wants to thank each of our Members who continue referring friends and family like yourself who are looking for a great club, a great membership and outstanding real estate values!
