Vacations and No Maintenance Richmond New Homes Homes

January 25th, 2012 by Chris Parks

Richmond new homes

No maintenance homes give residents freedom.

As the days of winter linger and the New Year grows from infancy into the toddler stage, it feels right to discuss summer. Summer is right around the corner, and it is time to think and plan vacations as well as who is going to maintain the home while you’re relaxing with a mixed drink in the Caribbean sun. While the thoughts of sunsets, relaxing music and sun waft through your subconscious, the need for someone to mow the grass, clean the gutters and touch up the exterior paint on the house captivate the forefront. Unless – you live in one of our no maintenance neighborhoods of Richmond new homes, then all you have to do is plan for the sunset on the beach. Not a bad trade off.

We have five no maintenance communities located throughout the Richmond area. These neighborhoods are designed for the professional who enjoys a single-family home and yard but doesn’t want to spend time on home maintenance. Read the rest of this entry »

Richmond New Home with Basement Ready for You

January 24th, 2012 by Chris Parks

Those currently shopping for Richmond new homes will love this basement home that is ready for occupancy. There are plenty of reasons why you will want to take a look at this new home located in the Richmond community of Tarrington on the James. The first floor boasts an expansive family room with a gas log fire place turned down low for that late night show. The cozy breakfast area and designer kitchen with granite countertops augment the interior appeal of the home and provide the gathering place for the party, or holiday event.

With all of the first floor adorned with hardwood floors, there is little reason to shy away from hosting a party in the formal dining room. Retreat to the first-floor study for the mid-afternoon conference call without deserting the family. This expansive home boasts six bedrooms and 5.5 baths.

Enjoy the 1/2 acre home site and spend your time in the back yard which is fully sodded and irrigated. Spend some time on your low-maintenance aggregate patio and get ready for your glass of lemonade, grill and the kids swing set. Take that evening stroll on the community sidewalks down to the river front private community park or playground. With so many family activities, why would anyone want to live anywhere else?

New Year Resolution for Luxury Homes in Richmond

January 18th, 2012 by Chris Parks

resolutions for 2012

Boone Homes Continues to Improve Building Standards

Every New Year’s resolution is challenged heavily in week three and four. Resolve is tested and determination is harassed. Each step of the resolution becomes more difficult with each passing moment. As one of the top builders of luxury homes in Richmond, we have made some resolutions this coming year. Here is one of them:

Allow our experience to guide us. Today is different from yesterday in that stormy waters of technology are still being charted. Our experience in building new homes in the Richmond area has provided us with a wealth of knowledge and understanding for what buyers see as essential when considering a new luxury home. Every step of our process displays the length of Boone Homes experience in building new luxury homes. This year is not a year of rebuilding, but of recalibration. A year in which we use the tools we became familiar with last year and calibrate them into perfect precision. Our reward? So far in 2012, our reward has been the best sales in January for the last several years.

What are some of those tools we have recalibrated? We have chosen to recalibrate the tool that would bring the best results for the buyers of our luxury Richmond new homes. We have recalibrated our High Performance Homes. Each home is now 38 to 45 percent more energy efficient when it comes to heating and cooling the home. This brag is no small task, and requires daily attention to methodology and detail.http://www.boonehomesblog.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif Read the rest of this entry »

State of the Union in Richmond New Homes

January 13th, 2012 by Chris Parks

richmond new homes state of the union

Richmond New Homes State of the Union

“Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice-President, members of Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow Americans.” That was how President Obama began his speech on the State of the Union in 2011. In his speech, President Obama reviewed the past year and cast a vision for the new and coming days of 2011, accounts of which now adorn the history books. If we had a State of the Union address about our Richmond new homes, what would it sound like? I think it would sound something like this.

The speech would need to start with some of the pleasantries so we would begin by addressing our crowd, “Mr. Homeowner, Ms. Homeowner, Illustrious Mr. Prospective Homeowner and fellow Americans.”   After the opening introductions, we’re on to the accomplishments.

“The State of Boone Homes is strong. No doubt the ‘Great Recession’ has made a mark on everyone, but the data tells the full story. Boone Homes is still building homes including inventory homes in every neighborhood. The same quality that made Boone the premier luxury home builder in Richmond is poured daily into each home we build.”

http://www.boonehomesblog.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif“High performance homes” would be the highlight pundits would discuss after the speech. Adoring marks from excited experts would describe Boone Homes’ sustainable commitment to improving new luxury homes in Richmond. Improving not only the new home’s performance but also the ecological and environmental impact each homes has. Special points would be awarded for Boone Homes’ intentional commitment to energy conservation. Read the rest of this entry »

Richmond new homes at Haywood Village

Only One Left! We are now getting ready to begin construction on the last remaining Richmond new home in Haywood Village at Charter Colony. The home will be built on a very level swing set lot located in a cul-de-sac home site. This home will feature five bedrooms 3.5 baths, and will feel expansive at roughly 3,100 square feet.

The owner’s suite will feature a luxurious retreat to escape from the cares of the day and a refreshing bath to drown the stresses of the day in a steamy bubble bath. A gourmet kitchen will be masterfully adorned with detailed paneling and molding, ready for the master chef to blend, bake and sauté. You’ll find that you can enjoy family or friends in the formal dining room with plenty of space to entertain in a formal living room. Retreat to the first-floor study for that mid-afternoon conference call, or curl up by the fireplace with the family and enjoy an adventurous movie.

2012 a New Year for Richmond New Homes

January 5th, 2012 by Chris Parks

A New Year for Richmond New Homes

The hopes, dreams and potential of yesteryear are now in action. Yesterday is gone along with 2011. Today is a new day. Today we are ready for action. Here at Boone Homes, we’re taking 2012 aggressively and capturing every possibility with intention. This year will be an adventure. The adventure begins today. In this new quest, we will release a multitude of new offerings for the coming year. Some will be secrets shared just in time; others will be exciting changes for our Richmond new homes that will infuse strength into an already star studded crown of achievement.

One of the new and exciting pieces of news will be the release of new floor plans, architecture and design for our floor plans. All our new home designs are carefully thought out by an award-winning architect who integrates style and luxury with a masterful blend of architecture and chic design. Each plan is carefully scrutinized to ensure a minimum amount of space is lost or unused. The plans will then be tested in the field and improved upon.

2012 Richmond New Homes Forecast

December 31st, 2011 by Chris Parks

richmond new homes

What the New Year will hold for Richmond new homes

What will the New Year bring us? After the eggnog is consumed, the confetti is cleaned up and the cleaning service has swept up the last streamer, we will gaze into the abyss of the crystal ball to discern the fate of Richmond new homes in 2012. Because a crystal ball is inaccurate, we will resort to the available data to glean what may be in store for 2012. The data seems to imply significant change on the horizon. Used home inventory will remain high, energy prices will continue to rise, inflation will continue to place pressure on consumer goods and new home inventory will be low. What does this mean to a prospective new home buyer?

First: Used homes will always be available and will continue to struggle with energy efficiency. The nostalgia of yesteryear will be available on the New Year’s market and they will continue to compete against new high-performing homes. These high-performing homes are not a trend, they are here to stay and will never be more affordable than they are right now. Used homes will still have the lowest cost of homeownership, but will be competing with high performance homes when the next sales cycle arises.

A Year in Review for Richmond New Homes

December 29th, 2011 by Chris Parks

richmond new homes

A Year in Review

There is no better time to buy Richmond new homes! This past year has been an exciting one here at Boone Homes. The new home sales trend appears to show that the lows of a recession market have passed or at least stabilized. New homes in Richmond have seen an increase of almost 10 percent in 2011 over the year before. This number is an average for the builders reporting. Some builders, like Boone Homes, experienced an even larger growth percentage. For builders, this increase in sales is the best holiday gift one could get. A hearty “thank you” is due to the buyers who ventured out and purchased a new home in 2011.

The side effect of this gift of increased sales is not for builders alone. The buyer for the new homes has seen home prices stabilize. This stabilization has meant to the buyer that they were able to purchase a quality new home for reasonable price even as inflation has placed upward pressure on the materials needed to build a home. This gift of stabilized pricing means to the consumer that they can purchase a new home in a new home community with new home features and lifestyle without the pressure of distressed properties in the neighborhood.http://www.boonehomesblog.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif Read the rest of this entry »

Winter Wonderland More Enjoyable in Richmond New Homes

December 23rd, 2011 by Chris Parks

Richmond new homes

Richmond New Homes with Comfort of Energy Star Features

Winter is here. Step outside of your Richmond new homes and feel the proof. Drafty floors, windows and doors affect every home’s comfort. Frigid air affects all of us inside the home, unless you live in one of our new homes.

Comfort is higher in a Boone Home because we build ENERGY STAR qualified homes. The rigorous certification process each home goes through focuses on improving areas that ultimately affect the comfort of a home. For example, insulation practices during construction are tightened. During the insulation phase each hole and crevice created by the different trades to mechanize your home is filled with spray foam to reduce air flow.

Though this sounds like a trivial process, each home has the equivalent of ½ mile of cracks and crevices allowing air to filter in and out of a home. Putting this ½ mile of cracks and crevices into a context we can understand, the openings would equal leaving one window open year round. When put in those terms, that would be a significant winter wonderland – inside the home. The solution to the in-home winter wonderland is simple. Either retrofit comfort into your existing home or purchase a new home in Richmond where comfort comes standard.
