CBH Homes enters spring like a lion

It may not quite yet be spring but we have selling fever. February was an record selling month for CBH Homes with 105 sales, up from February 2009. One of our newest communities, Mooncreek in Star, was our highest selling community. With only 20 available lots in the community when we launched, we currently only have 9 left. This is one community you don't want to miss out on.

Recently, the local news ran a story about CBH Homes and our record numbers in February. We are anticipating competitive numbers for March and have been selling vigorously.

That's not it. Only days ago we extended our "Build" deadline to April 15th, giving you even more time to build your dream home and still receive the tax credit.

And if you need even more reasons to buy a CBH Home, we are currently offering an amazing promotion - $8,000 in upgrades for all homes over 1,500 square feet and $5,000 in upgrades for all homes 1,499 square feet and lower. This promotion is only available through March 31.

We have two new superstars

noreply@blogger.com (CBH Sales & Marketing) — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:13:00 +0000

Every month we award one of our team members as our Superstar of the month.

January Superstar - Teschia Fishburn

Meridian Coordinator Laura Nichols was quoted as saying our January superstar, Teschia, "has been over the top with selling, knowing our products, over communicating, being a fabulous team play, and just doing so well at all she does."

Teschia works long and hard hours to make sure her clients become happy CBH homeowners.

February's Superstar - Renee Baird

Sales Director, Michelle Jacobi, presented this month's superstar with the Gold medal for always selling, going above and beyond the norm to get deals to close, great with brokerage, meetings and Realtor relations. She is a top producer industry leader. Her positive attitude and motivation helps her lead the Canyon County Square One Sales Center team as the Sales Manager.

Meeting With the Superintendent

noreply@blogger.com (CBH Sales & Marketing) — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 21:57:00 +0000

At CBH Homes we always strive to put our most important asset first - our customers. Recently, Dusty and Sandra Grant decided to build a Sawtooth floor plan in our Arbor Ridge community. We walked them through the build job process and they were excited to choose all of their own structural features as well as their own colors and styles on the interior and exterior of the home. In the past we have typically had our home owners meet with their superintendent overseeing the construction of their home at the New Home Orientation which is after we have already built their home.

Our customers have always loved the opportunity to get to know their superintendents at their final walk through. Knowing this, we thought that it would be a great idea for them to get to know the superintendent PRIOR to building their home so they could ask any questions that they might have directly to the person that would be building it for them! What a wonderful concept! Dusty and Sandra were able to meet with their superintendent, Braxton Hansen, the day before we broke ground. They not only got to know the person building their home but they were able to ask any questions they had concerning the building process and their home site.

"I really like the idea of meeting with the homeowners before we break ground. I love building homes but it makes the process so much more meaningful when you can meet and get to know the homeowners that you are working for!" - Braxton Hansen,
CBH Homes Superintendent

I really appreciate the enthusiasm from our Superintendents when it comes to our customers. It's great to have such strong support from all sides of our team!

Sincerely,
Chase Craig
Kuna Square One Manager

CBH Homes breaks ground in Fruitland

noreply@blogger.com (CBH Sales & Marketing) — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000

(February 18, 2010) Fruitland, ID – CBH Homes, the largest homebuilder in Idaho, is in the initial phases of constructing 30 new single-family homes in Fruitland, Idaho.

“We saw a need for affordable new homes in the area,” said Ronda Conger, CBH Homes Vice President. According to a 2009 Claritas Data survey, 25% of Payette County citizens are renters. The new CBH homes, which range from the low $100,000s to the upper $200,000s, will provide affordable, customizable, quality housing and the opportunity for many families to become first-time homeowners.

Another reason to purchase a home now is the federal tax credit that has been extended through June, 2010. First time homebuyers can receive up to an $8,000 tax credit if they purchase their own home; existing home owners who purchase a new home after living in their current residence for at least five years can receive up to a $6,500 tax credit.

CBH Homes is now pre-selling its Fruitland homes. According to Conger, this new development is attracting Realtors and homebuyers who have been looking at foreclosed homes and short sales. “They are realizing they don’t have to settle or go through a long process,” said Conger. “We can customize and build a new home in less than 40 days for our CBH Homes customers.”

Founded in 1992 by Boise native, Corey Barton, CBH Homes has built over 10,000 homes in the Treasure Valley. Barton has developed what was once a one-man business operating out of a pick-up truck in to Idaho’s largest, and most respected, home builder.
