Fieldstone is one of Centre County’s fastest selling new home communities for good reason. Its close proximity to the charming Boalsburg village and easy access to downtown State College make it a gem in many respects. In fact, residents of this custom home neighborhood enjoy more than short car rides to the area’s best attractions. The community is also adjacent to the Mt. Nittany Elementary and Middle Schools, as well as the Centre Hills Golf Course and even features panoramic views of both Mt. Nittany and Tussey Mountain depending on location within the neighborhood.

And for those who have been anxiously awaiting the newest release of home sites at Fieldstone, good news is here. Approximately a dozen new home sites were just released, four of them backing to open space and featuring views of Tussey Mountain! And to help celebrate that news, we’ve decided that we want homeowners to create the backyard of their dreams in the Fieldstone community. That’s why we are kicking in $10,000 towards a custom patio and fire pit for anyone who purchases their new home in Fieldstone during the month of July, 2016. This incredible offer can be used to create a backyard oasis that would be perfect for warm summer evenings and crisp fall nights alike. Read More

Realtors in Washington County have many choices of where to take their clients to find a new home. The area boasts some of the fastest growing zip codes in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area and Canonsburg, PA is no exception to that. In fact, the zip codes around Canonsburg enjoy faster appreciation than most of its counterparts thanks to a wealth of jobs, new developments and its proximity to popular Southpointe, a growing expanse of offices, shopping areas and hotels located there. But finding an affordable, quality-built home with the convenience of a maintenance-free exterior, included snow removal and lawn care with the same great location can be a little more difficult.

Thankfully, finding something that fits that bill just got a little easier thanks to the recent opening of Bradford Run, a unique enclave of luxurious townhomes and carriage homes stated just minutes from the Meadows Casino and Tanger Outlet Center. And to sweeten the deal, Realtors can enjoy a limited time four percent sales commission when they sell any quick-delivery townhome or carriage home in the community. Read More

In a big, big world with lots and lots of home builders, it seems that today’s new home buyers seem to be settling for builders with pre-set floor plans, pre-set options and little to no flexibility when it comes to actually putting your own stamp on your new home.

Oh sure, you’ve heard you can “customize” your new home (which really just means you choose from a handful of hardwood and granite colors for your new kitchen). Or you may have heard you can “review your own set of plans”, which really means you get to review a large master set of plans with a bundle of pre-set options that you are NOT free to change. You will even get to put your own “personal stamp” on your home (which probably just means you get to choose your front door color from a piece of paper).

Sounds pretty bleak considering the whole point of new construction is to get what you want the first time out, right? Now before you run off doing something drastic like ripping apart an older home to try and recreate an episode of Fixer Upper (likely without the happy ending), we suggest you look for a home builder who truly does allow you to custom build.

You are probably sick of hearing it, but record low interest rates continue to abound. According to many sources, they may not last a whole lot longer. For those who are just entering the home market or starting to think about their first purchase, this can be a serious dilemma.  Save up 20 percent for the down payment and risk that interest rates rise dramatically or take a lesser home in order to take advantage of the most affordable financing rates in years?

What if you didn’t have to take either risk?  Wouldn’t you prefer to live in the house you really want, but without having to wait to save up your 20 percent down payment?  Read More
