For the Love of Maintenance Free Richmond New Homes

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012
no maintenance homes

Snow shoveling included for no maintenance Richmond new homes.

For those living in Richmond new homes in Central Virginia, winter has been tremendous so far. Temperatures have hovered in the 50s and 60s most of the winter making Central Virginia seem more like a winter escape destination. In all this wonderful weather, it is necessary to point out there is always a chance for snow, like what happened just a few days ago. During this flurry of bad weather, the Richmond area enjoyed 4 to 6 inches of fresh and fluffy snow. The snow made every Boone Homes neighborhood appear as if each home had just been painted in a Thomas Kinkade city of lights. Though beautiful, snow still has a side effect.

Side Effect of Snow: Shoveling

This side effect can be strenuous on the back, unless you live in one of our no maintenance communities.  When you live in a Boone Homes’ no maintenance neighborhood, the shoveling is done for you saving you strain, heat wraps and pain killers. Avoiding this side effect of pain and strain is possible when you own a Boone Homes no maintenance home. All of our Richmond custom homes are built in a luxurious community and are designed to alleviate strain by doing all the exterior seasonal maintenance for you. Who wouldn’t love more time to experience life without the pain meds? You will love the new lifestyle as you will have more time to experience life.http://www.boonehomesblog.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif (more…)

Vacations and No Maintenance Richmond New Homes Homes

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012
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. (more…)

2012 Richmond New Homes Forecast

Saturday, December 31st, 2011

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.

No Maintenance Richmond New Homes Give You More Time

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

Richmond New Homes Free Up Time for the Holidays

Trees are decorated. Lights adorn. Music is playing the nostalgic tunes of Christmas. Progressively, presents will be wrapped and placed under the tree while the wafting aroma of freshly baked cookies and pies garnish childish ideals of bearded men with red suits coming down the chimneys of our Richmond new homes. All we need now is more time to enjoy the season with those who mean the most to us.

Sadly we are consumed with raking the leaves from the yard and preparing to fertilize, aerate and spread the pre-emergent. All while consulting snow removal and gutter cleaning services and the hunting down the pesky painter who needs to touch up to the trim. Maintenance forces us to consume time, not cookies.

What could you do with the extra time? Could you spend more time with the family decorating the tree? Maybe you could take more time to visit family? What about possibly baking more cookies for the family visit? Any of those activities sound more productive than maintaining a routine. Maybe you need to consider a new no maintenance home.

Our no maintenance homes are built in exclusive communities where seasonal required exterior maintenance is taken care of, allowing you to experience more time. This no maintenance lifestyle evokes ecstatic emotions of relief and awe as one leaves the raking, mowing, irrigating, painting, gutter cleaning and more to a professional. Leaving the routine to the care of professionals frees up time. You cannot make any more time, but a professional service can free up your time.http://www.boonehomesblog.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif (more…)

The Value of Comfort in Your Richmond New Homes

Monday, November 21st, 2011

The Value of Comfort in Your Richmond New Homes

Feet cold? That is a sign that you have lost thermal control over the floor surface in your Richmond new homes. In real terms what it really means is the competing cold air from below has cooled the floor surface to the point where the heat from the room above can no longer take back thermal control over the surface. Big words put simply, you’ve lost your comfort and now the cold is creeping up your legs to your knees.

The creep of the cold has further demonstrated that the cold from outside the home is influencing your heating equipment and forcing the equipment to work harder. I wonder what the extra work is doing to your energy bill?

“But my home is new. Why is this happening?”

Great question: probably because the home was built to code, but not with common sense. According to ENERGY STAR®, homes built to code have the equivalent of .5 mile worth of cracks and crevices that allow air to infiltrate, thereby causing discomfort. You think these cracks and crevices are minimal? Well .5 mile actually equals leaving one window open year round. Nice: very nice. Not so comfortable now.

The sounds of fall are in the air around your Richmond new homes. A constant scratching sound of leaf raking, the high pitch whine of the leaf blower and the grunting of the aerator can be heard throughout the town. The evenings are filled with pain medication, blisters and groaning. Ah, fall is in the air. Now to enjoy the pain fully, we will make this weekend a yard maintenance marathon – unless you live in one of our no maintenance communities.

Real Estate Danger in Richmond (Unless You Own One of Our Richmond Custom Homes)

Thursday, November 3rd, 2011

Quality Richmond New Homes

There are dangers in catching a knife as it drops. The danger is in securely grasping the handle instead of the blade. There are repercussions for missing the handle, some of which could be painful. What would some of those repercussions be? The repercussions of missing your mark and grasping the falling blade can be measured in either adhesive bandages or lengthy visit to the Emergency Room. Sounds like the risk of catching a falling knife are not worth the reward.

Similarly in the Richmond custom homes market, catching a fabulous deal on a used home comes with a set of repercussions. The repercussions could be as simple as the need for maintenance or as profound and catastrophic as reconstruction. The value of a used home needs to be inspected with a keen eye, determining more than the initial cost of homeownership.

What will the cost be to raise the home’s standards of safety, structural integrity and modernization? Will the extra expense of raising the standards increase the value of the home compared to the surrounding homes in the neighborhood? Or, will the extra cost be like catching a dropping knife?
