Kara Homes Communities Fetch High Resale Prices
Kara Homes is one of Americas largest new home builders. A high profile builder, their homes are not only selling well, but selling at higher prices than comparably sized homes in similar neighborhoods. The Kara Homes portfolio includes townhomes, single family homes and active adult lifestyle communities.
(PRWEB) January 6, 2005 -- Kara Homes, one of Americas largest new home builders according to Professional Builders Magazine, is causing a stir with the impressive prices their homes are fetching in the resale market. The firm, which was launched in late 1999, has been advised by Realtors throughout New Jersey that their homes are not only selling well but selling at higher prices than comparably sized homes in similar neighborhoods.
Its no secret that the real estate market has boomed in recent years," comments Kara Homes vice president of marketing Bill Buhrman. However to see that our homes are selling well above average prices on the resale market is good news for everyone."
He explains that Kara Homes started delivering new homes in 2000 which makes their first homes about four years old. Considering the mobility of todays families, some of the firms original homebuyers are now starting to move.
As some of our early homebuyers start to sell their homes and move three very positive things happen," Buhrman says. First, they realize a better return on their investment than some buyers who either bought resale homes or homes from other builders. Second, they are more likely to buy another Kara home. We have had some repeat buyers and thats remarkable for a company as young as ours. Third, they tell their friends about the great experience they had with Kara Homes and that strengthens our brand."
Among the Realtors enjoying the benefits of reselling Kara homes is Mike Little of Crossroads Realty, Inc. of Toms River (NJ). According to Little, "We love it when we have the opportunity to market a Kara home. Our resale buyers recognize the company name because Kara Homes is a high profile builder. Kara Homes supports a higher resale value due to the many standard amenities offered such as full brick fronts, wood flooring, Andersen windows, dimensional roof shingles and all developed in prestigious communities. These are things that impress todays home buyer."
Lily DiMaggio of Weber Realty Company, Matawan (NJ) agrees that Kara Homes typically offers a more generous list of standard features than other builders in the Central Jersey area.
She adds, It always helps when the buyer is familiar with Kara Homes, and even if theyre not, the firms policy of including more upscale standard features in their homes means that buyers will see more hot-button" items than they will in other homes they visit."
According to Buhrman, the firms dedication to design has resulted in the popularity of Kara homes on the resale market. Older homes simply cant stack up to the architectural styling and smartly appointed floorplans that Kara Homes offers," he says. Homes more than ten or fifteen years old dont often feature the volume space, spectacular kitchens, impressive master bedroom and bath suites and generous living spaces that one finds in a Kara home. Furthermore, the excellent building materials used by Kara Homes such as engineered floor systems, energy efficient two and three zone H.V.A.C. systems, elegant stone and brickwork and 30 year dimensional roof shingles clearly demonstrate value to savvy homebuyers."
The Kara Homes portfolio includes townhomes, single family homes and active adult lifestyle communities, we are poised to satisfy the housing needs of buyers through every stage of life. Buhrman believes the success of Kara Homes in the new home market and the long term value of the companys homes in the resale market is proving that the quality and commitment to excellence is benefiting homebuyers long after closing.
