patio homes: Time Is Running Out For Cincinnati New 55+ Community Homes - 10/03/18 03:06 PM

The clock is ticking and Cincinnati's ONLY 55+ community Heritage At Miami Bluffs is going to be out of new construction patio homes in the near future.  The number of unsold sites is now in the teens and after that, there won't be any more.
Keeping in mind that most patio home buyers buy with the intent of that patio home being their LAST home, resale offering can be scarce.
I've LITERALLY been targeting certain types of homes in this community for specific buyers for year.  Want the largest style attached ranch condo?  Be ready to wait.  Want a specific floor plan or … (4 comments)

This weekend I drove by Franklin Township's Renaissance community to check the status on our buyer's new construction patio home.  Fischer Homes almost has it done, with closing scheduled for next month!
And while I was there I noticed the street had been extended!  What started as just a small section of patio homes in Renaissance is growing, with an additional 17 patio home sites being added to the community!
Right now Fischer Homes is doing the Santa Claus thing, they're making a list of interested buyers!  Actual orders and contracts are expected to start in November.

patio homes: Cincinnati Luxury Patio Homes The Enclave At Long Cove - 09/22/18 02:46 PM

Cincinnati's Long Cove community is one of the most prestigious in the area, but the one thing it didn't offer was patio homes, until now!  Copper Creek Homes is offering a VERY limited 5 home community called The Enclave at Long Cove.  As of September 2018, Copper Creek has completed one home and it's fantastic!  Click the link for The Enclave at Long Cove for details on that home (assuming no one has bought it yet!).  They have paper plans for another four patio homes, but it's early enough to hire Copper Creek Homes to make your home completely custom.

patio homes: It's Starting To Look Like A Home! - 07/21/18 05:41 PM

It's always nice as an agent to watch our buyers' homes being built.
The home above is in Fischer Home's Renaissance community and should be ready for our buyers in September. 
Our buyers started their search with us considering patio homes, switched to regular homes (including new construction) and ultimately returned to a new construction patio home. 
This new patio home when finished will include a full basement, nice finishes, great curb appeal and some greenspace in the back.  Add it that Renaissance is a pool community and conveniently located close to the I75/SR122 interchange.

patio homes: Cincinnati New Construction Patio Homes: Prestwick Place Update - 07/19/18 04:57 PM

New construction patio homes are scattered throughout the Greater Cincinnati area! When I get a chance to combine another trip (showing a home in the area) with a visit to check the latest status on a new patio home community, you can bet I'm going to try to put eyes on the site and get the latest status!
Such was the case last Saturday.  I was on the east side of Cincinnati and Pierce Township's Prestwick Place community was nearby.  My last visit the community was more concept than reality, but this time things are shaping up!
 
 
Prestwick Place doesn't have the amenities … (1 comments)

patio homes: Can I Garden If I Buy A Patio Home? - 05/27/18 08:38 PM

One of the biggest advantages of owning a Cincinnati patio home is the fact that lawn care comes with the home as part of the HOA fee.  No more mowing the grass or shoveling snow!  And in most cases the home comes with some nice landscaping, some shrubs, trees and flowers that are typically tended to, also as part of your HOA fee.
But what if you don't want to totally give up tinkering in the garden?  While there are rules about what you can't and can't do, most owners will find that they can do MOST of what they'd like to … (2 comments)

patio homes: Luxury New Construction Patio Homes In Montgomery Ohio - 05/14/18 07:43 PM

Premium homes in premium locations like Montgomery Ohio come with premium prices, and that's especially true when it comes to patio homes in Greater Cincinnati!  Patio homes are usually a bit more per square foot than "regular" homes, but that makes sense.  Ranch homes typically cost more than 2 story homes, and rare is the patio home that isn't a ranch home.  Then add in the emphasis for extra flair like gourmet kitchens and fancy baths and it becomes clear why patio homes can cost a bit more.
So how much does a luxury patio home cost in Montgomery?  In … (2 comments)

patio homes: Maintenance Free Living In Greater Cincinnati - 03/26/18 06:00 PM

Seeking maintenance free homes in Greater Cincinnati?  You've got choices!
While there's technically no such thing as completely maintenace free housing (unless you're willing to hire a handyman to take care of the routine items like replacing burnt out lightbults and air filters), you CAN get pretty close depending on your choice!
Many of our buyers choose a patio home for its low maintenance.
While you still own the entire home and the lot, the landscaping is contracted as part of the HOA fees and in general patio homes are made from low maintenance materials (brick, stone, cement board, vinyl siding, etc.).  Buy a … (0 comments)
