Challenger Homes, New Home Star Take Top Market Share in Colorado Springs

August 8, 2011 By Leave a Comment


Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB) July 28, 2011

Through the midway point of 2011, Colorado Springs-based, Challenger Homes has a good reason to be confident. For the first time in the homebuilder?s 11-year history, the company has moved into first place in Colorado Springs market share. The year-to-date permit report, published this month, marks a milestone for Challenger and sales management partner, New Home Star.

Although many builders continue to struggle, Challenger has thrived in recent years. The company has also remained steadfast in its practice of remaining closed on Sundays, despite most builders opening for business. In a market where every new customer counts, this practice has forced Challenger Homes and New Home Star to be very customer-focused the other six days of the week. Given the builder?s recent success, the approach appears to be working.

?We feel very blessed to be in this position during a very difficult market. It is a testimony to all of the great people working for and with Challenger Homes that share our vision and values,” said Challenger Homes president, Todd Anderson. ?By focusing on some timeless basic principles, we have been able to not only survive this housing recession, but thrive to become one of the top builders in our market.?

Challenger has experienced year-over year sales growth in the high double-digits, since partnering with New Home Star in 2009. The national sales management and outsourcing company partners with builders across North America to drive bottom line results. In Colorado Springs, that partnership has assisted Challenger Homes for consecutive record years in one of the most difficult housing markets in history.

?Watching what has happened with Challenger Homes over the past two years has been amazing. It?s a special experience to go from 15th to 1st in market share; one that you don?t get to experience often. I?m proud of the extraordinary team effort and thankful for the results. There is no doubt we are blessed,? explained New Home Star president, David Rice.

Linwood Custom Homes is Named the Best of the Best

August 8, 2011 By Leave a Comment


Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) August 08, 2011

International home package provider Linwood Custom Homes has been recognized for having one of the ?Best Homes of the Year.? Linwood?s ?Windwood? custom home was honored as a top pick in the 2011 Special Edition of most inspiring custom homes, published by Chantilly, VA-based Timber Home Living magazine.

Says Tim Schreiner, Editor of Timber Home Living magazine, ?Separately and as a whole, these homes represent all of the exemplary traits of timber homes, from energy efficient to versatile to gorgeous.?

The Windwood, the same 4,660 sq. ft. Linwood-designed home package that recently received award recognition from regional and national home builder associations, was selected as one of ?The Best of the Best? for the placement of its focal-point kitchen, creation of incredible gathering spaces, as well as other smart design choices.

Linwood custom homes are different than prefabricated homes or modular homes. The components of a Linwood home package are shipped in premeasured quantities and constructed on site, anywhere in the world, by a quality builder. Linwood home packages use post and beam construction, meaning wall posts support the roof and floor beams allowing for impressive roof vaults across virtually any span of space. The posts and beams are joined on site during the building process. Though a wide variety of energy-efficient building materials are used, Linwood is noted for home packages featuring the best western red cedar in the world.

Says Bill Mascott, President of Linwood Custom Homes, ?Homeowners and builders alike tell us that our custom home packages are a better, smarter, faster and safer way to build. Outstanding design expertise and exceptional building materials are a key part of the Linwood difference on a global scale.?

The Windwood?s homeowners worked closely with the award-winning home package provider to create their dream home, stating they were most impressed by the degree of design flexibility Linwood provided. They added that Linwood ?ultimately designed an entirely custom home? specifically for their building lot, taking advantage of passive solar gain and capturing the very best vistas. Although custom home packages can be ordered as seen online, thousands of Linwood home packages designed and delivered since 1968 started as custom designs in order to meet specific homeowner requirements.
