Ivy Ridge model home for sale on prime State College real estate.

While the news coming out of Happy Valley may be a little less happy these days, there is still good news for homebuyers who want to buy their dream home on prime State College real estate. In order to make room for new model homes in Ivy Ridge at the Village at Penn State, we first must sell our current model home.

This is a rare opportunity for somebody to purchase a fully furnished dream home with all of the bells and whistles for just $499,900. That may sound like a hefty price tag, but this is an exquisite 3,600 square foot home that has been professional designed down to every last detail. From the high-end tigerwood flooring to the wine room and full bar in the finished basement, this house offers amenities normally only found in $1 million properties. There are far too many upgrades to list here, but granite countertops, exercise room, walkout basement, custom built-ins and high-end furnishings are just a few. Read More

New PA Energy Efficient Home Design at Centennial Pointe

Living outside of Pittsburgh in PA energy efficient homes is more affordable now than ever. Not only are interest rates once again at historic lows, but the overall pricing of the real estate market in this area is still a relative bargain compared to most major metros in the U.S.

This week the news for those seeking an affordable, spacious home near Pittsburgh, PA just got even brighter. S&A Homes has announced pre-construction pricing on a brand new carriage home product, The Wakefield, being exclusively sold in the popular Centennial Pointe community. The new floor plan stays true to S&A’s energy efficient design, but certainly doesn’t sacrifice any space to do so and starts from the $230,000s.

The 1,900 square foot Wakefield carriage home includes a number of unique features designed to make this “townhome” feel more like a single family home. The home features a two-car garage and a spacious first floor entrance complete with a large kitchen, dining area and living room as well as mud room and first floor owner’s suite. The second floor is home to two more large bedrooms and even a loft that serves as the perfect home office or playroom. Looking for more storage space? Full, unfinished basements allow buyers to choose whether to pack the area with boxes or finish it off with all of the bells and whistles they could want. Read More

Check the BBB before choosing your PA builder

When you are out shopping or dining, how often do you think to check the BBB rating of that business prior to making a purchase? For most of us…never. Usually it isn’t until we discover a major flaw or disservice that cannot be remedied that we even think of taking such action.

And when it comes to the collateral damage, a cold meal or damaged shirt is about as bad as it usually gets. But, if you are thinking of building a brand new home, the damage from picking the wrong PA builder can be far worse. Shoddy work, a blatant disregard for promises made in a contract or a poor community standing may be the difference between the incredible home you thought you would get and the money pit you actually get.
