Kreiser and BHG Survey
Thanks for visiting our Blog. Please take the time to subscribe to our feed.I was reading an article from Builder Online that described the results of a Better Homes and Gardens survey. Here are some excerpts:
The results of a consumer survey of Better Homes and Gardens (BHG) readers, also announced during the press conference, suggests that home buyers are aligned with builders in their thinking. Features consumers said they most wanted in a new home included efficient HVAC systems (76%), Energy Star appliances (79%), efficient design (66%) and natural light (65%).
Some 67% of consumers said they wanted a kitchen with an everyday eating area, and 62% said they wanted a comfortable family gathering space. “There’s been a circling of the wagons for a lot of people, and they are focusing more on family together time,” said Eliot Nusbaum, the magazine’s executive editor of home design.
In that same survey, 65% of home buyers said they wanted an extra bedroom and bath, a desire which Nusbaum attributed to growing numbers of adult children moving back home or elderly parents living under the same roof.
After reading this article I began to evaluate Kreiser Construction against the results of this survey. What were my findings?
- Patrick Kreiser and his team work hard at building homes that meet the criteria of a) efficient HVAC systems, b) Energy Star Appliances, c) efficient designs and d) natural light.
- Many models of Kreiser Construction homes are designed with a “comfortable family gathering space”.
- Extra bedrooms and bathrooms are commonplace in many of the Kreiser Construction models.
I then began to think through my top pick for a home that has some of the best family gathering space. My recommendation is the Kreiser Construction Washington Model.
The Washington Model
Square Feet: 2406
Features: Vaulted Ceiling in Living Room / Family Room
Bedrooms: 4 Bathrooms: 2.5
My wife and I think this is one of the best models that Kreiser Construction has. This model can be built in several of our developments. In fact, I highly encourage you to contact the sales office at The Gables at Jackson in Myerstown for a tour of this spacious and beautiful model home.
