Touchstone’s New Floor Plans Built to Sell – And Selling!!!

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

With the housing market finally turning a corner, thanks in large part to current tax incentives; builders are seeking inventive ways to attract home buyers.

Touchstone Homes, a builder at Sterling on the Lake since the award-winning community opened in 2004, is one such example.  Touchstone Homes, which has been building beautiful homes in the Atlanta area since 1994, announced it is retiring older floor plans to make room for new plans that better meet the needs of today’s consumer.

“We’re being very deliberate in how we build today,” says Jeff Barnes, Touchstone’s new home specialist at Sterling on the Lake.  “The market has changed significantly, and we’re being innovative and responsive to match our products to what the market can and will buy while, at the same time, reflecting the latest trends in our industry.”

Touchstone’s newest floor plan is the “Washington.”  At 2,800 square feet, this single-family home offers an open layout with a two-story foyer, four to five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a media/bonus room, attached garage and a beautiful porch.  Home prices start in the high $250s. 

Barnes points out that Touchstone can now build a new pre-sale home in just 90 days, from contract to closing.  So your eager wait for a new home just got shorter.  These homes can also be personalized using Touchstone’s award-winning Design Studio. 

To date, Touchstone has built two of the Washington plans, with both homes going under contract before the homes were completed.  “We knew right away that it was a desirable plan,” he adds.

The two new Touchstone home buyers and others are taking advantage of the government tax credit coupled with Sterling on the Lake’s own tax credit offer:  a match of up to $8,000 on a new home purchase, for total savings of up to $16,000 on a new home.  More details are available at www.sterlingonthelake.com/pages/credit.aspx and you can learn more about Touchstone Homes at www.touchstonehomes.com.

Gettin ‘em on Paper!!!

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

We all have potential buyers looking at home, but they are afraid. They are afraid of losing their jobs.  They are afraid of interest rates.  They are afraid to take that big step in purchasing a home.  They are afraid of so many things, but we’ve got to get them on paper! If they have no home to sell, if they have good credit, if they have a down payment, then what’s the problem! We’ve got to get them to sign on the dotted line! Think outside the box and make it happen! 

Share your “out of the box” ideas to get them to make an offer and sign a contract on a new home.
