Chapelwood, Chapel Hill’s first and only age restricted neighborhood, celebrated it’s grand opening this past Sunday
. The Hagood Homes team worked tirelessly throughout the week putting the finishing details on the decorated model available to view.
Sunday, over 200 attendees came out to the neighborhood to enjoy the pig pickin’, Italian Ice, and to tour beautifully decorated Cameron floor plan.
Chapelwood (www.ChapelwoodInfo.com) is located off Barbee Chapel Road and just minutes to golf, the campus of the University of Carolina at Chapel Hill, and state of the art medical facilities. The homes of Chapelwood are all brick, one-story living ranging in size from 1800 square feet to just under 2600 square feet. Homeowners will live better in their “green” rated homes and enjoy the reduced energy bills that come along with the green building techniques.

We were thrilled when we received the phone call from the Cape Fear Homebuilders Association asking if we would allow the local tv station access to one of our beautifully decorated homes.
They wanted to shoot footage for a Parade of Homes commercial. We choose our available home in Parkside at Mayfaire – The Dram Tree. It was easy to shoot, because it offers plenty of natural light and has an open floorplan.
It isn’t the first time we’ve been asked access to our model homes. A few years ago a commercial for an international flooring company was shot using one of our model homes in Marsh Oaks. They also did a photo shoot for their print advertising which runs in major magazines such as Better Homes & Gardens.
Hagood Homes is looking forward to this years Parade of Homes, and we hope we will see you on the tour!

Most Southern towns can boast a festival or two, but I don’t think there is one that compares with the Azalea Festival in Wilmington, North Carolina.
This year marks the 62nd anniversary of our Azalea Festival. The 5 day festival comes to it’s culmination this weekend. What started on Wednesday with the crowning of the Azalea Queen will continue with varied events, the parade, various concerts, garden tours, home tours and the street festival to mention a few.
Locals and patrons of the Azalea Festival will be donning thier best southern garden attire and attending the popular Garden Party this afternoon at Airlie Gardens, while tourist will be checking into the various hotels and condos around town.
We would love to hear how you celebrated Azalea Festival this year! What activities did you enjoy the most? Whether you are a full time homeowner, enjoying our area as a visitor, or have been coming to Wilmington as a second home – let us know you’re favorites!

Spend any amount of time listening to the media and you will be convinced that the recession will be here forever. If we’ve learned anything from history it is this: everything is cyclical. “This too shall pass”. We find it interesting in our current market when we hear, “We think prices will drop even more.” We wonder where the elusive crystal ball is that is giving this information to buyers. When will you know that the prices have reached their lowest point? The answer to that is simple – when the prices begin to rise. And, we don’t need the elusive crystal ball to tell us that once prices stabilize or begin to rise again, so will interest rates.
We at Hagood Homes do not spend a lot of time dwelling on the negative, we are far too busy for that. We are busy looking for ways to improve our product, deliver what our consumers are searching for and, well, sell homes. All of our buyers are looking for fabulous deals. Hagood Home offers fabulous deals. Are they marked down by 20%? Is that what defines a fabulous “deal”? Or is a fabulous deal in a home really the value of it’s livability, it’s style, it’s security? Could it be that the fabulous deal you are looking for is the retreat you can take in your home at the end of a long day?
We are not proposing that you buy a Hagood Home if you are looking to “flip” the home. We propose to sell you a house that you can call home, that you can take refuge in, that will live better. We propose to sell you a home that is in a neighborhood where you can build a dream of friendships and connect with others. After all, that is the true American way, right?
If you are searching for a home, you’ve taken the first step in the right direction, move onto step two by reviewing our homes currently available to you – we’re here to help you Live Better.

Spring is in the air, and with spring in Wilmington comes the annual Parade of Homes.
Hosted by the Wilmington Cape Fear Homebuilder’s Association, this event takes place over two weekends (April 25-26 and May 2-3). The Parade of Homes is an opportunity for the builder community to showcase their homes to the public over the two weekends. Each entry is judged by volunteers coming from outside the area that are in the building industry. Homes are categorized by price range and have a chance at being awarded a bronze, silver or gold awards. Last year there were over 100 homes ranging in price from the $100,000’s to well over a million. The homes, located from Brunswick County through New Hanover and Pender Counties were well attended. Hagood Homes’ entries in several of their neighborhoods saw as many of 400 people through their doors.
This year’s entry for Hagood Homes is located in SaltGrass at Marsh Oaks.
The “Cordgrass” is a new plan for us in SaltGrass at Marsh Oaks. It will feature over 2200 square feet of living space, most of which is on the first floor. The open plan is sure to please, with the living room and back porch, as well as the master suite overlooking the nature conserve that is beyond the back yard of the home. This home will be available for sale and priced at just $400,000. 
Marsh Oaks is Wilmington’s premier uptown neighborhood featuring a bounty of amenities such as a neighborhood pool, clubhouse, tennis courts and playground. The close knit community enjoys a private neighborhood website, an informative newsletter, and many groups and clubs in which homeowners can be involved.
Please plan on joining us at this year’s Parade of Homes. Mention this post and receive a keepsake, courtesy of Hagood Homes.
