Neal Communities has had a busy start to the year with, 279 homes already sold in the first quarter.

The Lakewood Ranch-based homebuilder closed 77 sales in January, 101 in February and another 101 in March, according to a press release.

“Relative to our revised expectations for selling season, March turned out very well for us,” says Carlos Puente, vice president of sales and marketing, in a statement. “Many folks who were on the fence late in 2022, due to rates, jumped back in when the rates started to improve in late February and early March.”
