Lots at the luxury farming community range five to over 20 acres and are priced from $349,000 to $1.1 million.

The single-family community will bring 39 homes to market in the Paulding County city. 

The 19-story luxury high-rise will bring 304 apartments to market when it opens. 

The single-family sector managed to eke out a slight monthly gain, according to the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. 

The NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index slid a point to 32, reflecting ongoing negative sentiment in the homebuilding industry.
