Friday, May 27, 2011

Lots of home inventory does not mean good choices. If you are looking for quality, craftsmanship, and excellent service- your definetely looking to buy a new home or build a custom home.

Custom Building a Luxury Home- Part 2

Monday, May 16, 2011


We have covered that when spending millions on a home it is natural to want it to be as close to dreamlike as possible. With that said, homebuyers often prefer to custom build a home to ensure it is exactly to their specification. 

In the blog post Custom Building a Luxury Home- Part 1, it was discussed that choosing a location for a custom home and the right builder are very important first steps.  Once the location has been decided, and the right custom home builder is hired, it is time to move on to the next steps. 

One of the challenges of custom building a luxury home can be staying within budget. It is natural for homeowners to focus on every detail of their new home; however, it can result in blowing the budget fairly quickly. Homeowners should work with the home builder to create a budget that accounts for every detail, from the premium built-ins to all the electronics required.  It is easy to get carried away thus it is a good idea to spend some time thinking about the details and their costs.

Another important step is planning for functionality. The luxury home should reflect the homeowner and should fit their needs. A homeowner interested in entertaining should build a home with a space that flows, while a home owner interested in creating a family-friendly environment might have other needs. When it comes to building a custom home the functionality is unique to every homeowner.  It is important to design a luxury home based on how the homeowner plans to use it –whether it’s to entertain, or showcase art work.

Broward’s falling inventory of home increases home prices

Monday, May 2, 2011

According to reports from Florida Realtors, the supply of homes in Broward is smaller than all other counties including Palm Beach. As the inventory levels falls, buyers need to become more competitive to secure one of the fewer properties. The result of increased demand and less supply is higher prices, simple economics.

In February, the median price of homes in Broward rose by 22% to prices that had not been seen since December of 2005. For Broward real estate agents this is very encouraging news of what the future will bring.

The home inventory drop for Broward County was 12.45% from January to February according to statistics by Move.com. With a 12.45% drop in inventory homes, Broward leads the nation in most rapidly decreasing home inventory.

Currently, Broward’s supply of single-family homes stands at approximately 6.7 months, if no more homes came into the market, there would be no homes for sale in Broward in about another 6 to 7 months.

Furthermore, the numbers of new homes available for immediate move-in are even smaller and continue to decrease. At the present time, there is only one new custom estate home for sale in Parkland Golf in Broward County.

It is becoming increasingly difficult for buyers to enjoy a new home without the wait. If you are looking for new estate homes and can’t find the right home, build a custom home.

Hiring a Custom Home Builder

Friday, August 13, 2010

Building a custom home is very satisfying, but it isn’t an easy task. There are many things to consider when preparing to build a custom home: budget, plans and building a fully furnished quality home. A custom home builder can help alleviate the difficult tasks associated with building a custom designed home.

Planning the budget for your allotted dream home can be facilitated through the use of an expert home builder; they will guide you through this process. Custom home builders will also know the best products to use and where to obtain the best prices. Having an expert establish a budget helps with the task of getting a construction or mortgage loan from the bank.

Every dream home needs home plans; these illustrations can help you plan you space, set a budget and schedule the construction. Only an expert custom builder can provide you with the most accurate and detailed home plans.

The goal of a custom home is to suit the needs of the homebuyer. At this point, a custom home builder can help conceptualize your home design from the home plan and advise you on what your house should look like.

While hiring a part time contractor may seem practical at first, a professional custom home builder can provide you with a higher level of experience and expertise. When it comes time to decide which home builder to work with, get the right information. How long has your home builder been in the construction industry? What type of projects have they done?

Once you house is built, homebuyers can benefit from having hired a custom home builder because they will have a quality house with a warranty.

It is very exciting to build your dream home, particularly with the aid of a custom home builder who can make your house a reality. A trusted builder will help you accomplish the goal of the perfect home.

Custom Home Building: The Passion

Saturday, July 31, 2010



Building custom homes has always been my passion. Every person is completely distinct in personality to their neighbor, so it is only common sense that their house should be just as unique. A house that is a modern marvel to one person may translate into an “Eh, it is okay,” to another.


Just like people, houses have personalities and they can often be defined by the personality of the owner or owners. When we sell “ready-now” homes, we know that we are looking for a specific person to match the home; when we build a custom home for our clients we are matching the house to their personality and taste.


As custom home builders we pride ourselves in being able to deliver on the promise of unique and personalized home building and we stop nothing short of that.


If you are looking to find what your perfect house says about your personality check out: Draw a House. It can give you some insight as to how much of your personality is defined by your custom home.
