central oklahoma home builders association: A Builder, Walking a mile in a client's shoes : Gearing up for the 2008 Parade Of Homes poses its challenges
- 05/25/08 11:02 AM
The past 2 weeks have been an intense on-again, off-again struggle through dozens of conceptual sketches, job site walk-throughs, thinking, and re-thinking lighting design, flooring selections, you name it. Everything that each one of my clients goes through in one form or another, and it's been good to experience it first-hand again myself as I finalize all of the numerous details for this year's Jeff Click Homes entry into the 2008 Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association Parade Of Homes, which kicks off September 13th and runs through the 21st. This year's parade entry will unveil the first rendition of what is … (4 comments)
central oklahoma home builders association: It's Time For Some Remedy : The Oklahoma City housing market has a fever, but there is a cure.
- 04/18/08 01:51 AM
I think the Oklahoma City housing market has a fever. Unfortunately, the cure ain't "more cowbell." However, a good ol' fashioned spoonful of truth would do the trick. I'm one of those builders who likes to spend quite a bit of time in his furnished model home. So much, in fact, I office there on weekdays, and then give my sales staff one weekend off a month so I can cover the model for the weekend. I like keeping track of the vital signs of our market, and the best way to do that is to talk face to face with … (0 comments)
central oklahoma home builders association: COHBA Launches DefyTheTrends.com : Don't let the national media scare you out of the smartest move you can make.
- 04/17/08 04:01 AM
With all the negative hype in the media about housing values falling around the country, it's no wonder many are skeptical about whether or not now is a good time to buy a new home. The fact is, in Oklahoma, the timing to buy a new home really has never been better. The Oklahoma City Metro is among the few markets in the country still enjoying consistent gains in home values, and mortgage rates are at near all time lows. Combine those factors with our strong job growth, a strong local economy, and low cost of living, and it's obvious that … (0 comments)
central oklahoma home builders association: When That Parade Comes Marching In : Jeff Click Homes gears up for the 2008 Parade Of Homes
- 04/02/08 08:49 AM
I haven't been able to make time to post recently, as there's a lot going on here in the JCH studio. We've recently unleashed three brand new plans, all with larger square footages by popular demand. The Timothy, The Romans, and The Numbers plan all have unique layouts and even more opportunities for that cool-factor our homes are known for. My concept sketch for the front view of our Parade Home. I'm particularly excited about The Timothy plan, on which we're basing our entry for this year's COHBA Parade Of Homes, which will be September 13-21. We're getting the home … (0 comments)

This weekend, the Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association will open the doors to its annual Home & Garden Expo at the Cox Business Center in downtown Oklahoma City.

Fall is gently easing us into cooler temperatures, making for perfect home shopping weather, and it seems that Oklahomans agree. Now that we're into day two of Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association's 2007 Parade Of Homes, and college games are out of the way for the weekend, lookers are out and about! We've had a broad spectrum of spectators, from single professionals and empty nesters, to apartment renters in the city and home owners as far away as Lawton, many of whom have come out specifically to view our Jeff Click Homes Parade entry in Silverhawk. I'd estimate Saturday we had … (4 comments)
central oklahoma home builders association: Raining On Our Parade: COHBA Votes To Reschedule The 2007 Parade of Homes
- 06/29/07 02:15 AM
Even if you have been living under a rock for the last 12 weeks, odds are you've been soaked and are fully aware of just how long the Oklahoma City Metro has been treading water due to record amounts of rainfall. As builder's, we're keenly aware of how weather can affect construction processes, and at this point, it's beyond just delaying a home's completion a few days to plug the leaks in the schedule. This past Wednesday, the Board of Directors of the Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association unanimously voted to reschedule the 2007 Parade Of Homes to October 20-28, rather … (2 comments)
