NIH Homes and Money Magazine Choose Plymouth, MN

without comments

Top 12 in America

When Money Magazine named Plymouth, MN among the top 12 places to live in America http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bplive/2010/top100/ for 2010, we at NIH Homes weren’t at all surprised. In fact, the criteria the magazine used for bestowing this prestigious honor are many of the same reasons we’ve selected two remarkable Plymouth neighborhoods to build NIH homes beginning this year.

Plymouth is famous for its…

  • Excellent parks and trail systems
  • Beautiful landscapes and wide-open spaces
  • Highly regarded Wayzata public and esteemed private schools
  • Outstanding shopping and entertainment areas
  • Premier golf courses and recreational programs for all ages
  • Many thriving local businesses
  • Easy access to downtown Minneapolis, less than 20 minutes away

NIH Homes is proud to be building in the neighborhoods of Spring Meadows>> and Taylor Creek — both spectacular new Plymouth communities that offer amenities galore.

We also continue to build nearby in popular Prominence Creek>> in Maple Grove.

Stunning Views and Custom One Homes Brought Them to Highland Hills in Cottage Grove

without comments

a dream come true

Meeting Custom One for the First Time.

When Heather and Jason walked into a Custom One model home in Stonemill Farms in Woodbury, they insisted they were “just looking” and had no intention of building. Their older St. Paul home had been on the market for some time with no buyer prospects in sight, so buying a new home appeared to be a long way off.

After talking with Custom One’s New Home Specialist, Jeremiah Rygh that day, suddenly their dreams seemed within reach. “We loved the model immediately,” says Heather, “and Jeremiah completely sold us on the idea of working with a premium home builder.” So the couple proceeded cautiously.

finding a homesite

Shopping for Land.

One of the concerns Heather and Jason had about building was finding the perfect home site. Under no obligation, Jeremiah took them around to several neighborhoods and showed them different land options. “The Lots they had available were amazing,” says Jason. “But we knew immediately this home site was right for us. Jeremiah made it possible for us to see what we wanted before we even knew about it.” The land they chose gives them an amazing panoramic view of a private, protected landscape.

Making the Final Decision.

Jason and Heather checked out other models and other builders and they began to move forward, but kept coming back to Custom One Homes and the Providence model. “We went back so many times,” says Heather. “And we went to so many models, but they just weren’t the right fit for us.”

In the end, Jeremiah became the final convincing factor. “We wanted a high quality home at an affordable price,” says Heather. “Jeremiah helped us justify our decision and assured us that we were making the best move possible. But the product really sells itself.”





The Custom One Team.

Heather and Jason were impressed with the entire Custom One team. Mike Rygh was great to work with and helped them put in a bonus room over the garage that was not the original plan. He even tracked down and installed a small window that Heather wanted to bring in some natural light.

Cheryl Mann, Custom One’s customer rep worked closely with the couple on schedules and product selections throughout the building process. “Cheryl and I talked on a daily basis,” says Heather. “She was on my speed-dial for seven months and beside us every step of the way.”

Interior Design Assistance

Heather also loved working with Amy Leferink, Custom One’s on-staff interior designer. “Amy was fantastic to work with,” adds Heather. “She has great ideas and understood the look I was going for. It’s so nice to have someone who understands the big picture. She was always there to guide us and lead us to make good choices. Amy is absolutely essential in the Custom One experience.” Jason agrees, “Working with Custom One Homes is like a well-orchestrated event.”

New Home Guarantee Program.

Custom One Homes’ Guarantee Program, which assured the sale of their existing home, allowed Jason and Heather to move ahead with their plans to build, making it stress free. “If we didn’t have the guarantee, we wouldn’t be where we are today,” says Jason. “We were very hesitant until Mike Rygh assured us that he would buy our St. Paul home.” To have someone have your back during a difficult time means so much,” adds Heather. “We didn’t have the ‘what if’ in the back of our minds.” Ultimately, their home sold before the new home was completed, which was the perfect scenario of all.

Their Favorite Things.

It’s difficult for Heather and Jason to pinpoint what they like best about their new home. When asked, they each name several favorites. “We love the lot, the play room, the kitchen and family room, the large closets, pantry, second floor laundry, the drop area off of the garage and of course our bonus room, which will be a work-out room or an office some day,” says Heather. And the list went on and on. “The flow of this house is so perfect,” adds Jason. “It’s perfect for everyday life. Entertaining is so much easier. Everything here has a purpose. 92% of the space is actually used because Custom One knows how people live every day.”

We didn’t even have to ask if Heather and Jason would recommend Custom One Homes to their friends. “We could talk forever about how great this experience was,” concludes Heather. “Even my mother recommends them to family and friends — and she built her home with another builder before we built ours.”

Save Money When You Build an NIH Model Home

without comments

Welcome Families!

Attention Future NIH Homeowners…

…Are you interested in saving thousands of dollars on your new home?

…Would you like to “upgrade” some of the features in your home for very little money?

…Do you like the idea of showing off your brand new home to the public?

…Is your moving date flexible?

If you answered “yes” to the above questions, NIH Homes has an offer for you!

Every year we participate in the spring and fall Parade of Homes™ when we show our homes to people who are interested in building or remodeling. In an ideal world, we would show a model home in all of our different locations. However, that’s just not possible.

To help solve this problem, we are happy to offer prospective homeowners NIH’s Pre-sold Model Home Program.

Here’s how it works:

  • NIH partners with one of our homeowners to use their home for a short period of time as a model home. This varies from about a month to only one week.
  • Some of our suppliers have manufacturers’ incentives to show their products in a model home. In general, the nicer the product, the bigger the incentive. It would allow you to upgrade some of the features in your home at significant savings. Any and all incentives are passed directly to you.
  • We have a generous incentive package, too!
  • NIH pays for everything up front while we show your home during the event (insurance, utilities, taxes, mortgage, etc.). In essence, we’ll lease your home from you during this time period so you have zero out-of-pocket expenses.
  • When the event is over, we’ll touch up your home again and join you in a walk-thru to ensure your home is as like new as possible.

Sound interesting?

If you’d like to know additional details and find out if your home might qualify for this program, please contact us>> or give one of us a call.

We can usually tell you if your home will fit the program in a few minutes over the phone. If it does, we’ll schedule a time to meet and you can verify if the program makes sense for you.

Money Magazine Ranks Woodbury, MN in the Top 15 of America’s Best Small Cities

without comments

Bielenberg Sports Center

When Money magazine recently announced their list of 100 best small cities in America based on financial stability, housing, education and quality of life, we weren’t surprised that Woodbury landed 13th. After all, those are some the very same reasons Custom One Homes chooses to build in this fine city.

According to the city’s website (http://www.ci.woodbury.mn.us/) Woodbury continues to be one of the Minnesota’s fastest-growing cities for a whole lot of good reasons:

  • 120 miles of multi-use trails surrounded by 3,000 acres of dedicated parkland
  • Close proximity to the St. Croix River Valley
  • Thriving business community
  • Exceptional public and private schools
  • Major retail shopping areas
  • Outstanding medical, including a full-service acute care hospital
  • Indoor and outdoor parks and recreation centers
  • Premier golf courses

Golf Courses

At Custom One Homes, we’d like to add a couple more highlights to the list — two marvelous neighborhood communities in which we love to build — Dancing Waters and Stonemill Farms>>

Dancing Waters

Dancing Waters features open trails, wetlands and a private central park with a swimming pool, sundeck, gazebo, perennial garden and more. It’s a great family neighborhood located off of Valley Creek Road in the City of Woodbury.

Stonemill Farms offers a convenient rural escape on the east side of Woodbury. The onsite Community Center is a great spot for energetic workouts, laps in the pool and family celebrations and it’s all connected to trails, parks and open space for residents of all ages.
