Ok, I'm a nerd for the details!

As a builder and developer, it's all about being a student of the market and each market is different.

I want to know the details of what buyers are looking for and why.
What attracts people to the area?
What features and finishes are they looking for in their new home?
What type of designs and floorpans do they want?

Here we look at the best new construction homes in Andersonville and we'll also see how you could save hundreds of thousands of dollars by looking in the Bowmanville / Lincoln Square neighborhood just a couple blocks West.

Every neighborhood and every type of property is different.

If you understand the market, you'll be able to make the most of your investment.

Can I ask your opinion on this?

Here's a great feature I saw in a $1.5M new construction home recently!

I thought it was a great idea, but I use the sauna at my gym almost every day , so I'm sure I would use it a lot.

I've had steam showers at home and found I didn't use the steam very often.
(of course a steam shower doesn't require additional space and would also cost a bit less)

What do you think?

Imagine for a minute that you were getting a new home, is this a feature that you would like?

Would you prefer it to a steam shower?

Would you want it in your primary bath instead of a big tub?
Or would you prefer a soaking tub?

(BTW, it's not apparent from the pic, but the shower has a porcelain tile that looks like wood and the sauna interior is wood.)

I know I've been talking about this for years now, but it's a real thing!

Research from the First Street Foundation estimates that 3.2 million people have become “climate migrants” who are creating “climate abandonment areas” due to extreme weather conditions.

But like so many market phenomena, people will ignore it and pretend it's not real until all of a sudden, they are all in a panic to respond.

Take a look at the MAP in the article, The midwest is a haven for climate migration.

While Chicago did not make the list for whatever reason, we can expect a surge in population growth and with it, demand for new housing and increases in prices.

The Sun Belt has been enjoying this surge in population growth and I'm sure that trend will continue for a while,

But Sun Belt states are among the most disaster-prone spots in the country, and it's reflected in their high insurance premiums.

Now is the time to establish a future for yourself in Chicago, as many of the biggest developers are doing!

Extreme weather is now a fact of life. These cities are some of the safest options if you're concerned about climate change.
