Happy Earth Day

We want to commend Boon Elementary School for having an awesome Earth Day celebration. They picked up trash around the school, had various presentations for the students, and even had the students bring trash-free lunches on Earth Day. Congratulations to the school for being so proactive in promoting a green lifestyle.

We at Newport Homebuilders were happy to participate in the events on Earth Day. The LiveGreen guy went to the school and did eight 30 minute presentations to groups of 50 kids each. It was tons of fun. We think the kids learned some good stuff about recycling and conserving energy and water. Here is a picture of the event with the LiveGreen guy talking to a group of kids.


Thanks again Boon Elementary for letting us come and talk to the kids. We had a blast.

How To Get Your Dream Home

If you are reading this blog, I don't need to remind you that now is the perfect time to buy a new home. You already know that. You are a savvy buyer who is in the market for a home at the perfect time. So, this week I will share with you something that we are doing at Newport Homebuilders to insure that every one of our customers is getting their dream home.

If you are going to spend at least half a year and hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a home, it may as well be exactly what you want, right? Well, we believe that. Which is why we started having all of our buyers meet directly with the architect at least twice during the pre-construction phase to draw out exactly what they want their home to be. Don't want a formal dining room? No problem. Let's take it out. Want a bigger master bedroom/media room/kitchen/family room? No problem. Let's expand it. Want an elevation with a little more curb appeal? We can adjust that too. We have had enormous success with this program and it is very gratifying, as the builder, to see these people get their dream home. Not just a beautiful, well-built home in a great community. Their dream home. Exactly what they have always wanted.

If you would like to know more, please let us know by visiting our website listed below. We would love to hear from you.

One More Reason To Buy Your New Home Right Now

There is some definite fear out there in the housing market. People are wanting or needing to buy a new home, but are afraid of the economy. Is real estate a good investment right now? Will my home investment lose money over the next couple of years? What if I am forced to move in a couple years and I lose money on my home because of depreciation?

These are all good questions and questions that smart buyers are asking themselves. Luckily, you are in the DFW market. I came across an article saying that the PMI Group, a mortgage insurance firm based in California, predicts that there is less than a 3% chance that DFW home prices will be lower in 2 years than they are right now. The job market is still relatively strong and homes seem to be holding their value. This is good news for those of us who need to buy a home here in DFW. There is a 97% chance that your home will be worth AT LEAST what you bought it for, if not more. One more reason it is great to live in DFW.

Combine that with the fact that interest rates have never been lower and will probably not be this low for quite a while and you have the perfect storm for a buyer's market. What we are seeing right now in the Dallas market is something that is rarely seen. There really is no downside to buying a home right now. Cheap prices. Low interest rates. Home appreciation. Existing home sales going up. Strong job market. Strong economy overall. We are truly lucky. There is not much risk in this market at all.
