First Video Tour of Our Award-Winning Lancaster Model

January 6, 2014

We could give you our Lancaster’s sizeable measurements – 4522 sq. feet on two levels, with a three-car, side-entry garage, four bedrooms three full and one half-bath, magnificently sited on three sprawling acres just North of Leesburg off Rte. 9 in Hamilton, VA. Or, we could mention it won an industry GALA award for outstanding…

Value is the reason to venture west of Ashburn, Sterling or Chantilly for a home, right?

November 6, 2013

Most families who move further out will tell you the home values are better because the land costs are less.  And that’s certainly true.  But a lot more goes into making the home a better value than simply a lower price. Because there is more land,  like at our Waterford Creek community in Western Loudoun…

At Waterford Creek in Western Loudoun County, the 3-acre wooded homesites really are wooded.

HAMILTON, VA.  Of course new home builders like CarrHomes, want you to visualize yourself in one of their homes and one  of their communities.  So the descriptions  we apply can at times get pretty  adjective-heavy, even if true.  Waterford Creek in Hamilton, VA. is a perfect example.  We’ve promoted the “magnificent” views of the Catoctin…

We now have two single-family floorplans with bedroom suites on the main level.

Who cares what the neighbors think? CarrHomes does. A lot!

Herndon, VA –When we  recently announced the beginning of sales, at  our new Herndon, VA. single-family home community,  Shaker Knolls, we didn’t have an office or model.  So you can be sure we did have our fingers crossed. Almost immediately, though we received two contracts, both from  existing neighborhood homeowners.  And that’s probably the most…

At our newest Herndon Community you can take the “climb” out of climb into bed.

You can see a lot about a new home just from the curb going in.

May 8, 2013

Why wait for a model to see if a new home community or build on your lot looks good to you? Once the curbs are in – especially in a smaller community – all you really need is a site plan, and maybe a pair of mud boots. If it’s a smaller enclave, like the…

Why purchasing a new home when builder inventory is low is a good “personal” decision

April 3, 2013

You’ve read about it. We’ve tweeted it. Builder inventories (completed, but unsold homes) across the region, especially with build on your own lot builders, are lower than they’ve been in years. So, while your choices might seem more limited, take a closer look. At our Waterford Creek community of 3-acre estate homes in Leesburg/Hamilton, we’ve…

1st floor owner’s suite, in-law suite, guest suite…whatever the tag, it’s pretty sweet

March 7, 2013

Maybe you want a little separation from your teenage children. Maybe your husband’s parents visit a lot. Or, you’re the accommodation of choice for out-of-town friends. Or just maybe climbing stairs is becoming more of a pain than a routine. Whatever the reason, 1st-floor owner’s suites, perfect for custom homes on your lot, have been…

We’re 100 percent thrilled to have 99.3 percent of our home owners recommend CarrHomes

February 6, 2013

Most builders rely heavily on word-of-mouth referrals from existing homeowners. Recommendations from families living in your homes, including custom homes on your lot, are simply the most believable advertising and the most credible endorsement you could hope for as a home builder. So when we surveyed our purchasers and the results came in with a…
