The post Location, Luxury, and Your Lifestyle: Why Building on Your Lot with CarrHomes is the Perfect Fit appeared first on CarrHomes.

Location
Location is key when buying a home, whether a new build or a previously owned home. Look for new home builders that do construction in areas where you work or your children go to to school. You can find the perfect house but if it’s not in the perfect location for you, the home will feel more like an inconvenience than a safe harbor.

Ask the builder about all the their construction sites to find the best fit. Also, consider the lot location once you have settled on a site. Lot location is influenced by roads and traffic, lot size, access, and drainability.

Experience
Look for a builder with experience. Read reviews and look into their history with clients. A builder that has been around will have solid warranties, consistent quality, and an understand of what their clients are looking for in their homes. Experience is key in an industry with many builders to choose from.

Ask about the benefits a builder can provide and ask for references you can check.

Timeline
Let’s be honest, if a home isn’t built by the time you need it, you can face more expenses and difficulties in moving. Look for a builder that fits your timeline, whether that’s over a year out or one that provides already built semi-custom homes.

Ask how long a new build will take and what you can expect during the process.

Tour
The best interview with a home builder will involve seeing their work. Touring model homes, homes in process, and homes built for past buyers. Look for the custom touches that make a buyer stand out.

Ask yourself if the home has the look and feel you’re searching for. Also, ask for specifics on what would be included in your price versus a model home.

The post Choosing a New Home Builder and Essential Questions to Ask appeared first on CarrHomes.

1. Green Features and Energy Savings
Every new home builder is required to follow the newest Energy Conservation Code when designing and building homes. Each new code provides significant improvements of the last. From 2006 to 2009, building codes changed to provide up to 17% more efficiencies than previously and the newest codes from 2012 improved on this even further. These improvements include low-e windows, high-quality insulation, and accurate entryway seals. This means your HVAC system has to work less; your home stays cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. CarrHomes also include energy-efficient appliances to help keep your utility bills low.

2. Fewer Repairs and Less Maintenance
You hear the horror stories of when someone buys a home, move in, and then a pipe bursts or the washer breaks. You will never have to deal with those nightmares when buying a new construction home. Both interior and exterior features will require fewer repairs in the long run and much less maintenance making your home affordable and financially predictable.

3. Semi-Custom Features
Buying an older home can come with quirks and a long to-do list before it ever feels like your home. After the initial investment of buying the home, updating and renovating can leave a hole in your wallet with unexpected expenses. Buying a new construction home allows you to work with the builder and add more personal touches that fit your taste. You move into a home that feels like yours from day one.

PURCELLVILLE, VA — This quaint little 18th century town situated in the heart of northern Virginia’s scenic wine country has emerged as one of the region’s most sought after locations for its natural beauty, relaxed pace, and exceptional quality of life.  It was the obvious choice for our new, luxury, Loudoun Oaks community on Silcott  Springs Rd.

Now, our first Loudoun Oaks home, a stunning 4-bedroom, 4-1/2 bath Cypress model,  is nearing completion.  This 3-car garage residence with handsome brick front is an exquisite  5833 finished sq. feet.  We’ve included a light-filled morning room off the kitchen.  The expanded family room showcases a stone-faced gas fireplace and magnificent coffered ceiling.  The lower level features a fully-finished rec room, a media room and  full bath. There are custom moldings, upgraded stainless steel appliances and a host of other  custom options already designed in to the home.

For those families who know Purcellville and appreciate custom quality living by CarrHomes, there is also the opportunity to choose whatever finishes you want for a limited period of time.

This  home, on lot 2A,  36488 Whispering Springs Ct., is pre-completion priced at $815,845.  For more information call 703-926-7241 or visit Loudoun Oaks online at CarrHomes.com

The obvious attractions of a new home are the visible ones – the layout  the finishes,  amenities,  appliances and technologies – any or all of which can be  tailored to your family’s needs and tastes There are the undeniable sensory appeals  of  a new home feel, and that one-of-a-kind new home smell.  Finally, and maybe most  significantly,  are the energy systems and energy savings you can only enjoy in a new home.

From the ground up,  new homes  include multiple layers of protection from the elements –  moisture and air vapor barriers, air infiltration packages, house wraps,  band board and slab insulation,  plus high efficiency heating and cooling systems.  So whether it is 9 degrees or 90 degrees outside, mother nature stays outside, while your new home keeps you dry and comfortable, inside.  And odds are most older homes include few, if any, of these energy savers.

What’s more, the efficiencies of new home energy-saving systems translate to real energy cost savings, year after year. Whereas, in an older home, the old roofs, old windows, old HVAC systems translate to… well,  you know.

It is quite a setting For CarrHomes’ Clifton Point community, coming soon to a beautifully wooded site off Henderson Road.

Only 12 homesites will be available, 10 of which will stretch up to five acres (take off the end-zones, and that’s equal to nearly five football fields of space). The luxury homes will offer up to 6000 sq. feet of space with preview pricing from the $900’s. For more information call 540-882-9012 or click onto https://www.carrhomes.com/communities/view.asp

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 nine homes we’re building at Shaker Woods in Herndon, and if you’re looking to build on your lot, the very first thing you’ll see are the ‘real’ views, because there are no future phases to obstruct what will eventually sit beyond your back yard. And, with a plan in hand, you can also see the exposures, the backdrops, and – to some degree – even the topography. What’s more, you’ll get a good visual idea of the various lot sizes, too.

So when you’re out there looking, don’t drive by a community just because the homes aren’t up yet. It could be the best time to set your sights on a particular site.

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 surging in popularity in all age groups in all regions of the country. And we’ve finally designed one (our Pinehurst plan at Waterford Creek in Hamilton, VA) we think is worthy of the CarrHome name, and your consideration. Preview it and tell us what you think.

November 29 – So here we are a builder, CarrHomes, with a new single family home community in Herndon, Virgina–Shaker Knolls, about to get started.  We tell our ad agency to put a “Coming Soon” sign-up page on our web site, but not to give out info like pricing or floorplans, cause, well, we’re just not ready yet.

So you, the prospect, have got very little information about plans, pricing, even the exact location. You’re fearful of all the promo emails you’re probably going to get. And there’s really no hurry. Where’s the motivation? You can just wait for a finished model model, right?

While that’s all true, so is this:

1. Being the first means you’re  guaranteed a choice of the best lots and exposures.
2. You can pretty much choose whatever elevation you want, not one we just pick out for a lot or one we have to decline cause somebody else put it up right next to your lot.
3. You can have us build in all the finishes and upgrades over builder standards you want, so the home fits exactly with your lifestyle.
4. Your home will probably be completed quicker since there won’t be other homes being built in front of you.
5. You can count on us being more eager to accept initial contract offers because we want activity on the site as soon as soon as possible.
6. You can be sure your email won’t be given out to anyone else (at least with us). You’re too important to us, now and in the future.
7. And here’s the best reason: most builders will price their preview products lower than opening prices to test the market acceptance, cause its easier to raise a price than to lower one.

So, you’ve got to ask yourself, are a few promo emails worth getting the home of your dream on the lot of your choice with the exact finishes and upgrades you want?

If you agree with us, check out our Shaker Knolls sign up page at CarrHomes.com.  And, if you don’t we’d like to hear why.
