Looking for your next home? Learn how new homes are meeting the needs of  families and offer connectivity features each household member can enjoy? In this recent The Sacramento Bee article, Tony Bizjak describes how new home builders are accommodating the ever changing needs of  families while providing the latest in smart home technology. Lennar’s Next Gen® – The Home Within a Home offers innovative floorplans to accommodate families, and with Everything’s Included®, the most desirable technology brand devices, all of which are included with your new home.


Shopping for a new home? It’s not all about square footage, counter tops and closet size.

Homes are changing. You’ve got homework to do. Decisions to make. Some will affect your pocketbook for years. Others will improve your quality of life the day you move in.

And one … well, it’ll just make your pooch less smelly.

Here’s a quick tour of cutting-edge amenities now offered at some Central Valley new-home communities:

California Room

For years, builders would slap an awning on the back of the house and call it a patio. Now, homes frequently come with a modern and stylish upgrade called the California Room.

It’s an indoor-outdoor space with a ceiling and just one or two walls. It can be used as a second dining room, outdoor kitchen or even a living room with couches and flat screen TV. It may have a ceiling fan, fireplace and tile or polished concrete floor.

Valley and foothills home builders say they are responding to young buyers arriving from the Bay Area who are looking for an outdoorsy lifestyle at home.

Depending on the level of extravagance, a California Room may add $7,000 to $20,000 to the home price.

Elevators

Baby boomers, some now in their early 70s, want homes they can stay in as physical limitations set in. Home builders call it “aging in place.”

The three-story brownstones in Sacramento’s Crocker Village include elevators as an option. So do new developments in Davis and East Sacramento.

Builder Mike Paris of BlackPine Communities estimates the elevator adds $25,000 to $35,000 to the price of the house, depending on how many “stops” it has. But you don’t have to buy the elevator yet. The spaces on each floor also serve as closets, pantries and storage rooms.

“This gives the buyer the peace of mind that they can age-in-place without incurring the cost when they may not need the elevator at that time,” Paris said.

Doggy showers

Fewer young homeowners have kids. More have dogs, though. And many of us consider our dogs full-fledged family members.

Introducing the indoor doggy shower, with tiled walls and hot and cold faucets, often located in the laundry room. Anthem United Homes is about to put some in its Lathrop subdivision. “It’s about three feet wide, two feet above the ground. A special faucet to wash at your waist. It’s like a half tub,” said Matt Gustus of Anthem United.

Other builders are adding doggy drawers in the kitchen of new homes: Slide open the bottom cabinet drawer, and it holds your pet’s eating dish and water bowl. Slide it back in and it’s out of sight. No tripping or accidentally kicking the water bowl.

NextGen homes

Lennar Homes officials say more buyers are multi-generational families who want to live under one roof, but want some distance from each other. So the company’s begun building in-law apartments that are embedded in the main home, with a front door of their own, but with another door to the main house.

They call them Next Gen® homes. The apartments have kitchenettes, a living room, bathroom, bedroom, washer and dryer and sometimes their own patio. Grandparents can live there. Or boomerang 20-somethings back from college. Or special needs adult children who can benefit from some independence.

Or a homeowner can rent the space out to a tenant for extra income, but that may be a little close for comfort. The main house and embedded unit share the same utilities. Plus, you can sometimes hear noise on the other side of the wall.

Your home is your future, a foundation for new memories to build upon: Why not build a home and make it yours from the start? A new Lennar home gives you the opportunity to build and design your dream home from the ground up. Learn more about the benefits of an new home in this The Kansas City Star article.


There are several advantages to buying or building a brand-new home, including enhanced safety features, more energy efficient materials and a range of customization options. If you are debating whether to purchase a pre-existing home or to build a new one, consider these factors:

New home buyers enjoy the ability to choose the finishes, fixtures, flooring, paint colors and more that suit their preferences, without the hassle or cost of changing the previous owner’s tastes.

New homes are safer, with electrical wiring systems that can accommodate “smart” appliances and components such as high-definition TVs, security systems, fire alarms, and complex lighting and audio setups.

Data from the Census Bureau’s Residential Energy Consumption Survey shows that even with increases in the number and the average size of homes plus increased use of electronics, improvements in efficiency for space heating, air conditioning and major appliances have all led to decreased energy consumption per household. Newer homes also feature better insulation and other characteristics, such as double-pane windows, that improve the building envelope.

The Census Bureau’s American Housing Survey shows that maintenance costs on average were 56 percent lower in new homes; $547 a year for all single-family homes versus $241 for homes built after 2008.

A brand-new community is one of the built-in benefits of many new homes. When families move in to a subdivision at the same time, they often form lasting bonds of friendship and neighborliness right away.

Popular amenities like pools, walking trails, and tennis and basketball courts are generally available in newer communities.

How much does it cost to build a new home?

There are a lot of variables that go into building a new home — from the square footage to the appliances and fixtures you choose. Depending on your budget, you can build a home costing anywhere from $250,000 to more than $1 million. The best thing to do is talk to your builder about what is available within your budget.

How do I find the right builder?

Though builders might generally use similar tools and materials when building homes, not all are alike when it comes to technique, training and customer service. Here are some things to consider when searching for a home builder:

Work Experience – Find a builder with extensive experience building homes similar to the one you want. Ask to see examples of floor plans and designs they have completed to ensure his or her company can deliver what you need.

References – Any high-quality builder should be ready to provide you with several names and phone numbers of satisfied customers. If they cannot, consider that a red flag and walk away. When reaching out to those former clients, ask about how well the builder followed through on the initial plans and if the builder met their expectations regarding budget and timing. Do not forget the most telling question of them all: If they could do it all over, would they hire that builder again?

Football season is here and that means it’s time to start planning the ultimate viewing party for your friends and family! While the possibilities, team choices and game selections vary, make sure you focus on these five points:

  1. FOOD.

    Obviously one of everybody’s favorite parts of the party. Keep it simple with appetizers – bean or chip dips, your latest Pinterest vegetable appetizer find and easy-to-build options like tacos. You may even go for “walking tacos” for which all you have to do is gather all the fillings into separate bowls and swap out tortillas for a bag of corn chips! Guests will be able to make their own and eat it mess free out of bowls or cups.

  2. DRINKS.

    Options are key. You can go big with a themed punch using Kool-Aid to match the color to your favorite team – or two bowls for both teams. It’s easy, inexpensive and festive. Plus, it’s a great option for large groups.

  3. INVITES.

    It’s never been easier to create a cute, customizable invite! Whether you use an evite, create an event on Facebook or just shoot out a mass text, make sure you give people enough time to mark their calendars for the event and know about how many to people to expect and prepare for.

  4. DECORATIONS.

    Team jerseys are a must along with easy accessories to help you decorate your home with ease. Be thrifty by printing out the team logos and putting them up in your home. Find cheap balloons, streamers, colored napkins and other throw away decorations at the dollar store. Anything you do will help get everyone in the party spirit!

  5. THE GAME!

    Of course, you’ll need a great way to watch the game. You can use a big TV in the main area or if you have access to a projector, set up a screen using either a white wall or white sheet. And don’t forget to provide enough chairs or places for everyone to sit! Once it’s all set up, let the game begin!
