We want everyone who participates in the Parade of Homes to be safe. While taking part in the Spring Parade of Homes, safety measures to protect the public will not be taken lightly. As an attendee of the event, the Home Builders Association of Lincoln asks that you follow these guidelines.

Create A Porch Space That Leaves Everyone Smiling

Have you ever taken a stroll through the neighborhood and stopped and looked at a particular porch or front door? It is usually because there is something eye-catching going on, whether it is the color of the front door or maybe the decor. But what all of this has in common is the fact that it is probably clean and colorful.

To get this look make sure your lawn is well maintained and manicured. This goes for all of the landscape around the house too. Next, give the porch a good old spray down and scrub, getting rid of all the dust, leaves, and cobwebs from the fall and winter season.

Why You Shouldn’t Trust Price Per Sq Foot

Why You Shouldn’t Trust Price Per Sq Foot

Price per sqft is one of the most misleading ways to shop for a home builder. In the industry, we joke that buying a house by the sqft price is like buying a car per pound. It is misleading and irrelevant. Calculating the price per sqft can be difficult and confusing. The industry standard for calculating it is the total cost of the home divided by the livable square footage of the home. This “livable square footage” does not include porches, decks, garages, driveways, and unfinished spaces in the home. But all of these are included in the total cost of the home!
Take a 1,200 sqft. home with three bedrooms and two baths vs. a 1,800 sqft. home with the same number of bedrooms and bathrooms. The 1,200 sqft home will have a higher cost per sqft simply because they both have three toilets, bedroom windows, front door, and so on. The 1,800 home has the same number of those items spread out across more sqft. If you take the price per sqft of the 1,200 sqft home and multiply it out to 1,800, you would be severely over-budgeted. And the opposite is true if you go in the opposite direction. 
You also must consider what finishes are included in the total price of the home? The higher ended finishes are going to increase the price. When it comes to shopping for your builder, it is best to tour their products and talk to them about what you can get with your budget. Cost per square foot is only useful when you know everything included in the builder’s cost. Be sure to consider all the costs associated with how you want your house finished, not just built.
