mikeassaad — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 14:30:55 +0000

Things are changing in 2012. More of our customers are seeking value based designs and improvements that provide functionality, and flexible use of spaces. Builder magazine recently published an article about the top 10 custom home trends for 2012. Bonus rooms, sunrooms / screened porches, exterior upgrades, flexible spaces, and room additions that can serve multiple purposes are all on the top… of the list.
The current design trends are evolving into a lifestyle driven home, where you don’t see things like formal dining rooms, separate living rooms, or dens. Most of the demand we have seen has been for open living spaces, where families and friends can gather and entertain with all of the important amenities in one place.

The Best Time to Buy?

mikeassaad — Thu, 12 May 2011 18:28:58 +0000

Whether it’s saving two cents on a gallon of gas or building your dream home, everybody wants a bargain.

Everyone loves a deal. No one likes paying retail.

If you are considering building a new home, now or over the next year or two, you face a number of difficult questions…

•Can I do better if I wait to build my home?
•Will interest rates go lower?
•Have home values bottomed or will there be further declines?
On the surface, it may seem as though the housing market has yet to begin climbing out the hole it fell into nearly three years ago. But we see a number of key indicators that point to some compelling reasons why now may be the time to get the best value for your home building investment.

Home Prices: Like the stock market, it is impossible to pick the bottom of the current housing market. No one can say with certainty that we’ve hit the absolute bottom. Like any market, supply and demand impact price. The inventory of older homes continues to dwindle. According to the Census Bureau, the US will add over a million new households each year. The current supply of new homes coming on line is nowhere near that number. As the demand for new homes rise, so will prices.

Interest Rates: We’ve already seen mortgage and construction loan interest rates inch up in 2011. They are likely to maintain that trend as the overall economy and demand for new homes continues to improve.

If you determine that interest rates are likely to go up, acting now can save money. Every quarter-point change in interest rates is equivalent to approximately $6,000 for each $100,000 borrowed over the course of a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage.

Materials and Labor Costs: We are in the middle of a commodity boom. The global demand for raw materials from countries like China and other emerging markets continue to put upward pressure on commodity prices. As the price of raw materials goes up, so do housing costs.

In addition, those manufacturers, suppliers, and trade contractors who are still standing after the housing bust did so by streamlining their operations and honing their costs of doing business. They are running very lean. In all likelihood, these companies will raise prices if there is an increase in demand for new housing.

Streamlined Operations: In order for our company to prosper during this difficult business cycle, we’ve had to sharpen our operations and systems, cut the fat out of our ledgers and operate on thin margins. As a result we are poised to meet our current demand with better processes, improved technology and lower overhead. Those efficiencies translate into lower costs for homebuyers willing to invest in a new-home project today.

If you can look past the headlines and scare tactics, you may realize that in these times, the best time to build a new home may be about to slip away

Building custom homes has increased in popularity as homebuyers look to create a unique living experience. Homeowners are putting efforts into luxury add-ons that will increase the value of their home as well as increase their enjoyment and quality of life.
When building your dream home don’t forget to add the following:
• Outdoor living area- Extend your living room into the outdoors. Use expansive glass door openings to connect the inside with the outdoors.
• Home automation- Install a computer and program it to perform everyday tasks. Don’t sweat the small stuff; let the home automation system handle it.
• High quality materials- Use the finest real stone, and wood. Don’t forget elaborate wood moldings, decorative plasterwork, and other hand-crafted details will enhance the beauty of the home.
• Your own space- Today’s couples want more individual space with dual offices, separate bathrooms, individual closets and even separate hobby rooms.
• Day lighting- Homeowners no longer want yellow lighting and prefer to illuminate their home with natural light.
The best thing about building a custom home is building a space the fits your needs exactly. Create a space with the fashion, features and living style that you will enjoy. The luxury custom home will provide the ultimate in satisfaction for the homebuyer.
