Construction continues in earnest at the Courts, including exterior paint on the triplex, shell completion on lots 66 and 67, beginning framing on lots 64 and 65 and foundation prep on lots 53 and 54. Interest is growing; people are discovering the Courts are back and active and traffic is building againl.
Due to a personal commitment, we will be open SUNDAY ONLY, 10/4 this week. Of course, we’re always glad to schedule an appontment at your convenience during the week.
Crews have been cranking at Woodside and production is catching up to our pre-sale contracts. With that in mind, we have a pretty solid release schedule and we’re ready to hit the market in earnest again.
We’re back with four lot releases with deliveries planned for January/February of next year. Lots 53 and 54 are value driven and come with unfinished 4th levels as standards. Lots 64 and 65 are premium lots, among the most private in the community. The homes are all Preston model A and B end units on terrific lots with plenty of light and space around them.
8922 Courts Way (lot 58) is sold, but we will continue to use that as our model home through December. Feel free to come visit this Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 to 4:00.
Stay with me here . . .
. . . sales at the Courts of Woodside have been wildly successful. In the next few weeks, we are we on our way to setlement on six inventory units (to complement the two already settled) and we have firm contracts on five to-be-built homes. Currently available, we have two end unit Prestons to be built on premium lots 64 and 65 and the fully optioned model home on lot 58 available for sale. Other lot releases are imminent, but those deliveries are unlikely this year.
With that in mind, we are temporarily suspending the weekend open houses until further notice. The website, www.CourtsofWoodside.com will remain live and up to the minute and as soon as we have some new lots to be released we will resume our weekend open hours.
In the meantime, please feel free to call for a private appointment. I am glad to arrange a convenient time to meet you there. Call me at 240.333.2090 or email to info@CourtsofWoodside.com.
Keep checking this blog! News hits here first! And THANK YOU for your interest and support!

Yes, that’s correct. The Courts of Woodside is half sold. Of the 23 new townhomes and three renovated Victorians, we have 13 homes under firm contract or settled. I feel like we’ve just started and now we are . . . half sold.
I’m speechless.
Sorry for the short notice, but the Courts will be closed this Sunday. GTM has given me a much needed one day reprieve to catch my breath while we review TWO MORE CONTRACTS on to-be-built homes.
Always available for appointments during the week. 240.333.2090
We are now ratifying offers on to-be-built homes at the Courts! We have two signed contracts already this week, one more initials away, and two more being prepared as I type. The next round of pricing has begun; lot 58 has been re-priced, as promised, to $599,900 and everything released that has not seen offers will increase by tomorrow. But there is still real value here; these are some of the best lots at the Courts and the community is really taking hold!
Next week the bigger construction work begins anew. Plumbing groundworks and basement slabs for the triplex and prep for foundations on the rear duplexes. We should be throwing some lumber around on lots 55-57 in a week!
Open this weekend, 12-5. See you at the Courts!
Site work is starting to roll in advance of new townhome construction. “Poplar Park”, the pocket park adjacent to the triplex, has been freshened and mulched, and custom benches are being installed. The picket fences around the vintage Victorians are almost complete. Next week we could see more iron railings, lighting, perhaps some more of the extensive landscape installation in the common areas. It’s all a process, conforming to the “critical path” that Park and Planning and the Historic Preservation Commission laid out for the rezoning and site plan approval of this unique community in the heart of one of the oldest settled neighborhoods in Silver Spring. Actually, it’s probably one of the oldest in the County (1889? Gotta check on that factoid.)
All of this is to point out that the true character of the visionary planning is becoming more visibly apparent week by week. In the past two days I have had four sit-down appointments with folks ready to write on the to-be-built homes and contracts are imminent.
Needless to say, the “early bird gets the worm.” Lot selection will dwindle and prices WILL go up. Trust me on that.
Come visit! Open this weekend for sure, 12-5.
Our last “inventory” home, Lot 58, a four level, fully optioned, end unit Preston is currently priced at $574,900. We will hold that price until next Friday, May 8, at which time that price will increase to $599,900, commensurate with the pricing of the to-be-built homes. Actually, with the full option package, it is still a bargain, just not today’s bargain.
Meanwhile, lots of new construction at the Courts; common area landscape projects are starting in earnest, including walkway lighting, decorative fences, park benches and some landscape installation.
It’s a great time to make your move! See you this weekend, 12-5.
Once again, we are all but sold out of immediate delivery homes.
We are open by appointment this weekend, April 25 and 26 while we finish up our standards and options for the to-be-built homes. Please feel free to call 240.333.2090.
No surpise, Lot 59 is under contract. Second offer was in the wings, but could not produce satisfactory financials under the burden of competition. One more “as-built”, my new model/sales office, 8922 Courts Way, a perfectly appointed Preston at the LAST of the giveaway prices. For the few that actually read this blog (and I can tell you there are dozens, SCORES even!) I DO tell the truth. That’s what has sustained me for many, many years in this profession. This community is a winner. That’s the truth.
