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…)

Experience. That is the word that sums up the life of an armed forces veteran. The experience gained in service to one’s country cannot be lightly marginalized. Men and women of the armed forces know what reliability means as they have to rely every day upon the team work of other armed forces personnel. Experience communicates. Each veteran knows how one slip in reliability could cost many lives. Experience is a great reason to celebrate Veterans Day and celebrate reliability.
At Boone Homes we value reliability just as highly. We build our Richmond new homes on prime real estate with precision, intention and craftsmanship. The process of construction and finishes in each home is done with the accuracy to ensure that the most current trends and qualities are observed.
Not only is it important to maintain high standards with what can be seen, we know the value of building quality behind the walls that cannot be seen. Each little step provides the same reliability a veteran would expect from a partner in the field. (more…)

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?

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 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…)

Market Analysis of Richmond new homes
In our last post Boone Homes exposed two very important demands in establishing the fair market value of the Richmond custom homes that you own or are looking to purchase. As a matter of review, we discussed how it was imperative to compare your homes to similar homes in a like geographic setting. Today we will expose the last two demands.
Demand number three: Fair market demands a home that is for sale should be compared to other recent sales: An indication of where the housing market has been is in the history of recent sales. Homes that have sold in the last 90 days will carry more value and sway than homes that have sold in the 12 months. The picture of the last 12 months will give you an indication of where the housing market is headed, but it will still only speak of history. For example, in most areas of Richmond the market has been declining, revealing a buyer’s market. Recently, the metrics for these same neighborhoods have been revisited to show moderate increases. Though we are far from a seller’s market, the data seems to indicate that prices have stabilized or are on the rise. (more…)

What is your best investment? Think, but don’t think stocks, bonds or IPO. Think bigger. What do you have more of yesterday than today?
Time.
Time goes by and never comes back. Investments may appreciate with time, but time depreciates over time. What would make time more valuable? The law of supply and demand would probably apply to this resource as well. The less time you have the more valuable it becomes. There are plenty of chores that need to be done: balance the check book, maintain the cars, visit family, work a job, organize holiday parties and visit the beach. Which begs a question: why waste time on maintaining a yard of your new home in Richmond?
A no maintenance home built by Boone Homes is designed, like the title implies, to reduce the amount of maintenance a home needs and what little maintenance that’s needed is performed by the community association. Yard work, mulching, aerating, trash removal, gutter cleaning, occasional painting, irrigating and more are completed without you having to schedule a call. (more…)

“Stop searching forever, happiness is next to you.” ~ Fortune Cookie
“Stop searching forever, happiness is next to you.” ~ Fortune Cookie
Do the pithy sayings from a fortune cookie really guide the actions of your life? Do you suddenly feel inspired to pursue the happiness waiting in our new homes in Richmond? No one would make large decisions based on the simple and vague message in a fortune cookie. It just seems ludicrous. Or does it?
In today’s real estate market, many buyers are using similar methods in searching for homes. Some remain on the housing sidelines awaiting the deal of the century because they once heard that someone got a home for an unbelievable price. The search is prolonged because of a vague message. What if the home of your dreams was sitting right next to you all the time? (more…)
