New Year Resolution for Luxury Homes in Richmond

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 (more…)

Winter Wonderland More Enjoyable in 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. (more…)

Buying Time When You Purchase Richmond New Homes

Buying Time When You Purchase Richmond New Homes

Whether it involves work, errands, maintaining our Richmond new homes and everything else that life holds for us, all of us have a prescribed amount of time. We will enjoy no more and no less. Time cannot be measured in value like money. One simply cannot buy more time with more money. Time is measured in experiences, in moments and in memories.

Alan Weiss, a renowned consultant and book writer, once said, “you can always make more money, you can’t make more time.” Weiss’ encouragement was to use your time wisely and shed unnecessary activities so you could maximize your time. I pose the question, what if you could buy more time? What would the price be? Would you take the steps to shed what is costing you what you can never get back?

Here at Boone Homes we offer you the gift of time with the purchase of a home in one of our luxury, no maintenance communities. These communities have standalone homes, like other new home communities. The difference is you don’t have to rake, mow, paint, clean gutters or spend time with the activities that steal time. In shedding these time consuming activities you now can focus your efforts on experiencing life. Is that a tradeoff worth considering? (more…)

Richmond New Homes of Value: Westcott at Grey Oaks

Richmond New Homes at Westcott at Grey Oaks

During the last few years of the real estate market, it has been tricky to determine the value of Richmond new homes. The difficulty lies with the homes that have fallen into distressed situations and have either faced foreclosure or have been foreclosed. The downward pressure on prices has affected neighborhood homes and been tremendous on home valuation — except in one small pocket of Richmond’s West End.

In this stable real estate pocket there is a neighborhood called Westcott at Grey Oaks. Composed of new homes by Boone Homes, Westcott at Grey Oaks has maintained high values because the neighborhood is building a luxury estate home that cannot be duplicated in Richmond. The location of Westcott at Grey Oaks places the homeowner in the heart of Short Pump: a district with the finest schools and near the central nervous system of transportation byways.

Enjoy Life in a Richmond No Maintenance Home

What is the perfect age to buy luxury homes in Richmond with a no maintenance lifestyle? Certainly a great question to ponder. To completely analyze whether the lifestyle would be a good fit, we need to start by asking the right questions. Here are a few:

  • Do I enjoy mowing the lawn?
  • Do I enjoy raking and disposing of leaves?
  • Do I enjoy cleaning gutters?
  • Do I enjoy painting?
  • Do I enjoy snow removal?
  • Do I enjoy the soothing effects of a pain medication and a heat pad after a day in the yard?

How are we so far? Now we start a new section with new questions to refine the answers down to application and determine if the no maintenance lifestyle is a good fit. (more…)
