2010 Spring Preview

At Custom One Homes, we often meet with couples that would love to build with us or purchase one of our models, but they still have a home to sell and fear making a commitment. That’s why we created our New Home Guarantee Program for qualified buyers.

Here’s how it works:

1.  Custom One Homes helps you select a home or home site in one of our approved neighborhoods.
2.  We help you conduct a preliminary evaluation of your current home.
3.  We talk about your needs, wants and wishes for your new home and prepare a preliminary investment worksheet.
4.  We present financial scenarios for your new home and the guarantee sale of your current home.
5.  You obtain a property inspection before your home is listed.
6.  You complete your home plan and specifications form.
7.  We finalize your home plans, specifications and pricing.
8.  You authorize the Construction Purchase Agreement and we deliver a guaranteed sale agreement on your current home.
9.  Your current home will be listed while your new home is being built. If you can sell your home for more money during construction — great! If not, you know your exact bottom line with our underlying guaranteed price.
10.  You close on construction financing to start your new home.

Rambler or Two-Story

It’s really the perfect solution. Custom One Homes lets you start building now. You continue to pursue the sale of your current home while your new home is under construction. If it sells before your new home is completed — and four out of four of our recent clients’ homes were — wonderful! If not, Custom One Homes manages the sale your current home, guaranteed. That’s peace of mind.

At Home in Everwood

Leigh had read about Custom One Homes’ Women-Centric designs in the Star Tribune and was intrigued. She and her husband, Paul, had been contemplating a move, so they toured a model in Woodbury during the Parade of Homes. Although they found the home very impressive, it was a two-story and they needed a rambler.

Leigh has a sister with special needs who will move in with the couple some day and the two wanted to build a home they would love that would be handicap accessible for Paula. Rob Fritz, Custom One Homes’ New Home Specialist suggested Leigh and Paul take a look at one of their rambler models in Everwood in Cottage Grove>> and they not only loved the model, they found a wooded homesite there that was perfect. So they began to make plans.

The Foyer

“Rob immediately started asking questions so he could understand how we envisioned our future and how we wanted our life to be,” says Leigh. “We began with Custom One’s Summit design>> and began modifying the plans to better suit our needs.”

Paul and Leigh felt a little intimidated at the thought of building their first home, but their anxieties didn’t last long. “Custom One Homes’ process is so good and so well-organized that we never felt overwhelmed,” says Leigh. “The decisions we had to make didn’t happen all at once, and it all came together quite nicely.”

“Working with Custom One Homes president, Mike Rygh, was a truly great experience,” says Paul. “He stays very involved, is detail oriented and always has the big picture in mind.”

Paul and Leigh appreciated Mike’s practical side and he seemed to always have their best interests in mind. “Whenever Mike encountered a problem, he immediately set out to resolve it,” says Paul. “He also called it to our attention rather than have us discover it ourselves. We really admired him for that.”

Building a handicap-accessible home means anticipating every possible obstacle. “Mike noticed a threshold in the shower that would have been a barrier,” says Paul. “He took it out.” He also made suggestions that the couple hadn’t considered. “We have a finished lower level,” says Leigh. “Mike recommended we add a large closet on the lower level that matched the same square footage on the main floor. He said an elevator could be easily added to that space in the future if my sister is confined to a wheelchair.” Whenever they had a plan review he would bring things up and make suggestions.

The Kitchen

Paul and Leigh’s confidence in Custom One Homes was confirmed by the subcontractors who worked on their home. “Everyone we met talked about how much they enjoyed working for Mike,” says Paul. “That certainly says a lot about his integrity.”

Even the closing of their new home worked in Paul and Leigh’s favor. “We were given a move-in date and they stepped it up so that we could get in even earlier,” says Paul. “They even arranged to have the closing at their office for our convenience. We couldn’t be happier.”

Considering Custom One Homes’ New Home Guarantee, Federal Home Buyer Tax Credits and Affordable Interest Rates,

What Are You Waiting For?

If you’ve been thinking about building a new home, there’s really never been a better a time to make your move. Let’s count the reasons …

1. New Home Guarantee: Even if you still have a home to sell, Custom One Homes lets you start building now*. You continue to pursue the sale of your current home while your new home is under construction. If your home is sold before your new home is completed — and four out of four of our recent clients’ homes were — life couldn’t get any better! If not, Custom One Homes manages the sale your current home, guaranteed. That’s peace of mind. *Subject to terms and conditions.
2. Move-Up Home Buyers Tax Credit: No doubt you’ve heard about the first-time homebuyers tax credit. Well that law has been extended and expanded to homeowners who have lived in the same principal residence for five consecutive years during the eight-year period that ends when the new home is purchased. If those qualifications are met, move-up homebuyers will receive a $6,500 tax credit*. Link to this Wall Street Journal article for more information>> The Federal government plans to end its purchase program in March of 2010.*Ask your tax advisor for details.
3. Low Interest Rates: Interest rates are low right now, but that won’t last forever. While average rates on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages are around 5 percent, that will most certainly change next year when the Federal Reserve stops buying mortgage-backed securities.

There you have it! Three outstanding reasons to talk with a Custom One Homes sales representative right now. Check out our neighborhoods here>>
