Burton Homes

People ask all the time: “Why should I buy or build a new home today when there are so many resale homes on the market?” The answer is simple and obvious to anyone who has looked at new homes over the past several years.  New homes built today are better than ever, and there may never have been a better or more economical time in the past 10 years or so to build a new home.

This year is already beginning to look up for many builders in the area, including Christopher Burton Homes. More people are looking, more people are buying and the climate of the market seems brighter than it has in quite a few  years. With so many economic indicators pointing in a more positive direction, and lenders beginning to be more open to lending for new construction, builders and buyers alike are looking at the future with optimism and anticipation.

Two indicators that suggest a rise in homebuilding, and real estate sales in general, are an upswing in auto sales and furniture purchases. Growth in these industries has always been a precursor to home sales, and both of these industries are on the rise. Land costs are at or near multi-year lows, building materials and labor costs also are leaning in favor of buyers, and new building technologies and innovative features are making new homes better than ever.

Recent advances in ways to save on energy costs through improvements in products and construction methods are making new homes more economical to maintain, as well as more comfortable to live in. A single visit to one of the new Christopher Burton model homes will show you just how this builder designs and builds homes that look, feel and live larger than their actual size. These new plans capture the way today’s homeowners live and are flexible enough to accommodate any changes in lifestyle that might come along.

BUILDING AN EXTENSION OF YOU

Christopher Burton Homes has taken the approach that your new home is not just an extension of your lifestyle, but your personality. As each new home is designed, Christopher Burton Homes aims to include all those little nuances that allow your home to be individually “all yours.” Through the finishes and furnishings available from the new Inspirations Home Design Center and its lead designer, Clay Stephens, buyers can live in a home that is truly

built to live, last and look better. In today’s economy, value is really the measure of true luxury and these homes embody both. Stop by the Christopher Burton Homes’ Custom St Croix Model in Wyndham at Duran and their newest model home, the Hyder Park in Charolais Estates at Viera.

Health First TV Commercial

The former Christopher Burton Model Home in Colfax Landing was chosen as the set for a recent Health First TV spot. The 30 second spot featured local professional talent and a film crew that came in from Kentucky and Ohio. The crew and cast took over the Burton Model Home for the day long shoot which was created to highlight how Health First helps people make health choices everyday. The Producers of the TV commercial had looked at numerous locations in the area before deciding upon the Burton Model as the site for the set. The Health First Healthplex was featured and the actor began her day with healthy choices at home before going to the gym as part of her healthy lifestyle. The commercial has aired in local markets and we were pleased to see our home featured in local living rooms. If you haven’t already seen the piece, watch for it on your local network.
