As more signs of economic recovery appear on the horizon, those who want to build a custom home or remodel an existing home should consider taking advantage of some of the most favorable construction conditions ever.
In the past year, I have been inundated with sales calls from trade contractors and suppliers looking for business. Goodwin Classic Homes has remained financially strong during the recession, and word has spread that we honor all commitments to our vendors and pay reliably and promptly. There has never been a lien filed against Goodwin Classic Homes, and I am committed to keep it that way. As a result, many of the trade contractors calling are the very best craftsmen and artisans in Charlotte and surrounding areas. Previously in short supply during the building boom, these artisans are eagerly looking for new opportunities in the luxury home market. And they are available readily to facilitate construction on a streamlined basis.
In the past couple years, with the willingness of area vendors to negotiate pricing, I estimate that the cost of building a new home has dropped somewhere between 10 and 20% . With my cost-plus construction process, all such savings are passed to the homeowner. Buyers are emerging and finding significant discounts on existing homes, but significant savings can also be obtained in custom homebuilding or remodeling projects.
I've read that over half of the companies in the Dow Jones index were started during a recession. In this difficult period, many new opportunities are being created, and timing is everything. With signs of recovery in front of us, I am convinced that now is the best time to build or remodel your dream home. I would be happy to discuss with you the advantages in building today - better, quicker, and at significantly less cost!
