All comments in this blog are our opinions and thoughts on the future of the new home market in our area.They should not be relied on for any reason.
4/10/12 - It has been a slower than normal spring, even with the early warm up! People have been looking but seems that the most sales are falling in the $120,000 market and under. Rates have crept up because of all the refi's, and they will hopefully drop back down soon. Prices are also on the rise and will continue going up if gas prices keep rising. We have a great inventory and all homes were built pre-increase and we have bought ahead to beat the price increases. Now may be the best time in the past year or two, to buy as I expect interest rates to fall back to their lows and our homes are already priced at last years costs! We seem to lag behind the nation and I'm afraid as things sound like they're picking up we'll get caught in the price increases, lower inventories and rate hikes starting in 2013, but I've give up on guessing.

01/31/12 - Wow! Not much of a winter yet, this is what I get for buying a snowmobile! It has been great for working and we have 3 more homes up, 2 more complete and getting ready to start a couple more. We'll soon have around 7 or 8 homes available and complete by early spring- THIS IS VERY important as material prices are rising and you can beat the increases by purchasing one of these new homes. Concrete, flooring, shingles etc. are all expected to rise in the next couple months. Rates today are 3.85% for 30 years the lowest we've seen!! Remember all new homes are rough graded just throw in some seed ,plant trees of your choice and a couple shrubs and your all set. You don't have to worry about replacing windows, or a roof, or furnace or, well you get the picture. If you buy an older home you'll be constantly updating, so buy New and support your local economy!! Thanks- Dennis Lyberg
12/08/11 - First of all Thanks to everyone, our customers, subs and employees that made 2011 such a great year. This has been a top 5 year for new homes and also for Concrete walls and flatwork!!
2012 looks to be very good also as lots of showings happening, while normally it's quiet this time of year. We only have one completed home to tour right now with another in about a month and some new starts happening right now.
We were very busy (buried) this fall and didn't respond to lots of people looking to get in the market and I'm very sorry but I'm hoping to keep my site updated more and you should be able to follow the site and watch for new starts.
Thanks- Dennis |
