ILLINOIS & WISCONSIN– February 25, 2021 –– Shodeen Homes, a family owned-and-operated builder for 60 years, is offering new home buyers the opportunity to take advantage of low interest rates and save $5,000 on structural options on to-be-built ranch or two-story homes in communities throughout the western suburbs and in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
“The demand for new construction has seen a tremendous increase in the past 10 months,” said Craig Shodeen, President of Shodeen Homes. “Historically low interest rates coupled with the pandemic, which had home owners spending more time working, learning and enjoying leisure time at home, led to a surge in new homes sales. Buyers reevaluated their lifestyle needs and wants, gravitating to open concept floor plans, current design trends and energy-efficient features available in new construction.”
According to Zillow, interest in new homes was up 82% in the third quarter of 2020. Zillow found that more than a quarter of new home buyers who bought new construction did so to customize home features, while 37% chose to be the first owner of a home because everything was new and never used.
“During our ‘Think Spring’ sales event, buyers can save $5,000 customizing their new home with structural options,” Shodeen said. “Our homes also feature industry-leading energy-efficient features that, on average, are 40% more efficient than homes built just 10 years ago. Each home also comes with a 1-5- and-10-year warranty giving buyers peace-of-mind when making their new home investment.”
