We are so honored to have been chosen by the Coulter family to build their dream home.  Stop by one of our Model Homes this week to find out how you can get started on yours!  Our model homes are in Carrington Lakes in Norman, The Ranches in SW OKC/Moore Schools, The Reserve at Valencia in Edmond and Belleau Wood in Edmond.

There is very little to gain by waiting.  A 5% increase in the cost of your new home and a half-point increase in your mortgage rate will increase your monthly mortgage payment 11.5%.  This will sadly force some to buy less than their family had wanted.

Why wait for a lower rate?  Interest rates are at historic lows.  As a borrower it is important to remember that rates are unpredictable and influended by the global economy.  One major event can cause rates to increase overnight.

There is a lot more to lose than there is to gain!  Mortgage fees are increasing.  Construction costs are escalating every month.  There is that uncertainty and risk with interest rates that no one can predict with certainty.

The longer you wait to purchase a new home, the greater the chance you won't be able to finance what your family expected.

So the question is, "Why are you waiting to buy a new home?"

The best advice we can give when choosing your exterior home surfaces and colors is to step out of the “plain” box and into the “pizzazz” box!  Landmark encourages using various textures on the exterior of your home.  Our favorite products are brick, stone, cedar, siding, iron, copper and stucco.

The following homeowner’s did an excellent job of choosing their homes exterior colors and textures in the Norman and Edmond area.  Who wouldn’t want to live in one of these Landmark Fine Homes!

Our second piece of advice is to drive around and take pictures of what you like.  Look at magazines and websites.  You don’t have to create a masterpiece from scratch when homebuilding.  Pull together the ideas other’s have used and make it your own.  

Most of all, keep it fun when choosing your exterior products!  Don’t stress out.  Building your dream home should be one of the most exciting times in your life!  Landmark Fine Homes has an excellent design team and we love helping make your home have pizzazz!
