Temps are rising and days are getting longer- that means it’s nearly summertime!  There’s no better place than your front porch to spend summer mornings sipping iced coffee or warm evenings watching the sun go down. Now’s the time to spruce up the front porch in your new home.  

We just keep growing and growing!  Our newest community is The Pinehills in West End, NC (a stone’s throw from Pinehurst, NC).  What makes this new home community so great?  This central NC area is full of local color and culture, and a great place to explore.   

We’re building in Little River Farms in Fayetteville, NC and we couldn’t be more excited.  Fayetteville has been named an All-American city three years running and is one of the fastest growing areas in North Carolina.  It’s an exciting place to be, friends! 

Looking for a new home can be completely overwhelming.  Design, layout, curb appeal, not to mention size- it can get a little crazy.  How do you know which new home is right for you?  The best way to narrow-down choices is to focus on which floorplan will work best for you and your needs – now and down the road. 

We’re pleased to announce that we’re building in a brand new home community convenient to Garner, NC and Clayton, NC called Cleveland Bluffs!  This location is everything.  There are great restaurants, schools, shops, entertainment, and parks- everything you could possibly think of all in close proximity to our amazing homes.  

So you’re ready to buy a new home.  Congrats!  The home buying process can seem a bit overwhelming, but don’t worry.  We’ve got your back!  Here are five things you should consider when you’re looking for a new available home.

Home should be your oasis, your sanctuary, and your escape!  That’s why it’s so important to keep it clean from top to bottom.  It’s hard to relax and enjoy your home when your floors are in need of some TLC. Paying attention to each different floor surface and treating them with proper care will pay off big-time, regardless of how long you plan to stay in your new home. 

It’s 2016, and you know what that means- new home trends in design and décor.   Some of the trends we’ve noticed were expected, but some are a bit of a surprise!  Are you looking to revamp a room in your home, or do you just want to spruce up your space?  Look no further than our list of interesting and totally applicable trends.  

Want to add a little zing to a room in your new home without having a major remodel situation (or breaking the bank)?  Consider painting an accent wall!  It may sound intimidating, but we promise it can be easy. 

Think home maintenance stops during wintertime?  Think again!  There are a ton of little things you do during winter to protect your home and help it run more efficiently (and save some green as an added bonus).  

Ask yourself this question: Do you have coffee lovers on your Christmas list?  Who doesn’t?  You’re in luck, because we’ve got an awesome list of fabulous gift ideas for all the coffee lovers in your life.

Think you can’t have Thanksgiving dinner on a budget, without sacrificing all the ingredients for your favorite dishes?  Think again.  We’ve scoured the Internet to find simple, yet delicious recipes and helpful tips to help you deliver a dreamy dinner, under budget.  

Halloween is only a few days away.  You’ve been crazy busy-way too busy to go shopping or even think about a costume for the party that’s coming up.  Never fear!  We have some awesome Halloween costume ideas and tutorials to help you get party-ready in a flash!  

Some people don’t enjoy being frightened and spend Halloween evening munching on candy and watching Hocus Pocus (fabulous movie by the way!).  Others will voluntarily enter a haunted house or trail knowing they are about to be terrified and seriously freaked out.  If you’re not a scaredy-cat and you like things jumping out at you and making your blood run cold, then this list of haunted houses and trails is for you.

Don’t let outrageous rent prices and cramped spaces get in the way of memory making.  Here’s the why, when, and where about renting v. buying:
