m o c l e W WELCOME

from the President

On behalf of the Tallahassee Builders Association, we welcome you to this year’s Parade of Homes.™ There has never been a better time to buy a new home.

They’re also designed for the way you live today, with open floor plans that create ideal spots to entertain or to relax with family and friends.

One of the many benefits of buying a new home is its increased energy efficiency. Builders are using the latest technologies to reduce household energy consumption, from improved insulation to energy-efficient appliances.

Recent analysis by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) shows that, on a per- square-foot basis, the newer a single-family home is, the less energy it uses. And, even though newer homes are larger, their increased efficiency means that homes built since 1999 tend to use the same or slightly less energy than homes built before 1950. Yet, the energy-efficiency story doesn’t end with the builder – it simply starts there. To realize the greatest efficiency savings, homeowners also must do their part to use energy wisely. In fact, even though new homes are built to be more efficient, true energy savings will depend on household behavior. That’s because the size of your household and the number of energy-guzzling appliances and electronic gadgets that you use actually have the greatest impact on your electric bill.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR HOME’S ELECTRICITY USAGE

To make smart choices about your home’s electricity usage, it’s important to understand how homes typically use energy. The amount of energy used to heat and cool a home is known as heating, ventilation and air conditioning – or HVAC. Builders generally have a greater influence on the efficiency of a home’s HVAC system as a home is designed and built. In fact, more efficient HVAC equipment installed by builders – and better insulation and sealing – is a key reason for the greater efficiency of new homes.

However, non-HVAC electricity – energy used for things like watching television, charging electronic devices, and using a computer – accounts for more than 70% of a home’s total energy use. That means that most of the energy that a home uses will be based upon the behavior of the household and not the design or construction of the home.

10 | Parade

NAHB also analyzed the impact of products usually purchased by a household on overall energy consumption, including an extra freezer, a third television, a home theater connected to a TV and a dehumidifier. The electricity needed to power these products accounted for about twice the

of Homes

By Mark Berntsen, 2018 Chair, Green Building Council

amount of electricity required by items usually installed by a builder (e.g., ceiling fans, refrigerator and water heater).

MAKING WISE ENERGY CHOICES

The choices you make everyday about your electricity usage have the most significant impact on your new home’s overall energy consumption. And whether you live in a new or previously-owned home, you have the power to make it even more energy efficient.

Here are a few simple no- or low-cost tips to improve your home’s efficiency: LIGHTING: One of the easiest ways to save

electricity is to install compact fluorescent or LED light bulbs both inside and outside your house. This is especially important if you have an outdoor light that remains on overnight. And, start turning off lights in rooms that you are not using.

ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS: With homes using an ever-increasing number of electronic products, it’s important to turn them off when they’re not in use. This includes TVs and computers! To help save the standby power often wasted with these devices, use a power strip to turn off equipment not being used. And don’t forget to unplug small appliances and chargers when they’re not in use or if the electronic device is fully charged. These unused appliances and chargers remain in standby mode and use electricity.

APPLIANCES: Use your dishwasher and washing machine only with full loads. And, use large appliances in the early morning and late evening, when demand for energy is not as high.

PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTAT: Consider installing a programmable thermostat, which can automatically adjust the temperature of your home when you’re away at work or asleep at night. Even small temperature adjustments can add up to big energy savings. For more energy-efficiency tips for your home, visit nahb.org/forconsumers.

Our hope is that you use this magazine as your pre-event tour guide to plan your weekend(s) of enjoying and learning about these gorgeous homes and the latest trends in home design.

This year’s Tallahassee Builders Association (TBA) Parade of Homes is proud to present 26 homes located in Jefferson, Leon and Wakulla counties priced from the low $200,000 to over $900,000. Each parade model has its own page in the book marked by its Entry Number (i.e. Entry 01). We also want to promote the many local vendors that share these pages as advertisers. These professionals can also assist and supply you with many of your home’s needs.

The Pull-out Map Guide is a quick reference to locate each home along with its assigned Entry Number that is used by that builder on street signage, and for the Consumers’ Choice Awards. The Consumers’ Choice Awards is a bonus for our entrants and is completely directed by you – the consumer. Voting via your mobile device allows you to participate to promote your favorite home. Please locate the framed visual sign within the home to obtain the UNIQUE CODE assigned

to that home and text the CODE to 81035. We encourage you to vote on as many homes as you feel are deserving of the award and note only one vote per home per mobile will be counted. Our Consumers’ Choice Award winners will be announced after the Parade completion and will be highlighted as a winner in a Saturday Tallahassee Democrat article. The TBA could not produce our Parade of Homes without the support of our sponsors. Much thanks to our Platinum Sponsors: BB&T Bank; City of Tallahassee Natural Gas Utility and Bobby Dollar Appliance Consultants. This year our magazine’s distribution is being sponsored by Capital City Bank. The Parade Committee worked very hard to secure our sponsors and we encourage our community to support these local businesses. A full list of our sponsors is located on page 4.

Thank you for supporting the work of the builders and their teams by touring the homes and Happy Touring! Tallahassee Builders Association

2018 is here and

the buying season is upon us. And you’ve decided: this is the year you’re going to purchase a new home. Whether you’re a firsttime buyer or a move-up buyer, the sooner you start preparing, the better. By following these simple tips, you’ll feel confident and ready to get out there and find the perfect home for you.

Prioritize Your Must-Haves

If you’re a first-time home buyer, it’s crucial to sit down and think through what your needs and wants really are, particularly regarding size, location, and amenities. Even seasoned home owners will find that setting aside the time to write down what you need in a new home will save you a ton of time in the long run.

Instead of sorting through listing after listing, you can narrow it down significantly by knowing what your musthaves are. It’s equally important to be smart about prioritizing your list and keeping an open mind, especially when it comes to the smaller stuff. Most home-buyers will have to compromise on at least a couple items to find a house that fits into a realistic budget.

Check Your Credit Score

Credit requirements have become more and more strict in recent years, making it challenging for some buyers to find home loans. Having a favorable credit score can make a huge difference in getting approved for a loan. Even if you think nothing has changed on your credit report, it’s smart to check anyway. Make sure you’re not being un fairly penalized for old debts, which can sometimes linger on credit reports.

For more information about the home buying process, contact the Tallahassee Builders Association at 850.385.1414 or visit www.tallyba.com.

Borrowers with scores in the low 600s and even high 500s can still find lenders who will qualify them, but ideally you should strive for scores in the mid-to upper-700s to land the best rate. Also, refrain from opening any new credit cards in the months leading up to your purchase. This can be particularly tempting around the holidays, but it could hurt your chances of getting a mortgage considerably.

Set a Realistic Budget

Don’t let your maximum loan approval amount dictate what your home-buying budget should be. You are the best and only judge of what you can safely, realistically afford. Many experts advise that your total monthly home expenses should not exceed more than one-third of your gross monthly income. Don’t forget to determine how much you’ll need in order to cover any loan fees and closing costs and include that in your final budget.

Sell Your Current Home

If buying a new home is contingent on selling your current one, it’s a good idea to start by reaching out and consulting with your realtor. You probably want to sell your home quickly, but keep in mind that if you want to get the best price possible, it’s critical to wait and put it on the market at just the right time.

In the meantime, you can work on any maintenance issues your home may have and make a plan for when, how, and if each one will be addressed. You might be surprised by how much even minor fixes can change how a potential buyer sees your home. Ask your realtor if investing in any upgrades to your current home would result in a favorable return when it comes time to sell, and get to work.

gas can fit into your remodeling project and improve the value and livability of your home:

EXPAND YOUR LIVING SPACE:

Outdoor kitchens, decks and patios increase your home’s value and homeowners can recoup as much as 72% of their costs for this investment. Natural gas grills offer lower fuel costs and the convenience of never running out of gas – which makes for a better outdoor cooking

experience overall. Convenience outlets outside the home make it easy to add, move or

switch natural gas appliances like grills, patio heaters, lighting, fireplaces and fire pits. For

families that choose a “staycation” instead of a vacation, these improvements make your summer “staycation” perfection!

Take a

Closer Look

Continued from page xx

The Heat is on Enhance home comfort and performance with gas heating. Natural

gas heat is warmer and more efficient than

its electric counterparts and gives your family the comfort you can afford. Natural

gas furnaces heat rooms quickly, providing steady heat from room

registers, regardless of the outside temperature

(unlike an electric heat pump, which provides

less heat as outdoor temperatures drop). Warm air from a gas furnace is 20 to 30

degrees warmer than air from an electric

heat pump. Electric heat pumps deliver air at about 95 degrees, which is slightly cool-

er than your body temperature. Meanwhile, gas furnaces distribute air at around 120 degrees.

According to the American

Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy,

gas furnaces are among the most energy efficient sources of heating available.

Getting in Hot Water Certain things are

essential for home comfort – and high at the

top of that list is hot water. Whether for showers, washing dishes or doing laundry,

hot water is often taken for granted – until it’s not available. If your electric water heater is

more than 10 years old, it is advisable to start looking into a new one - better to replace it before it fails and leaves you in the cold! Water heating can be up to 25% of your util-

ity bill, so switching to a natural gas water heater can quickly add up to big savings.

Going tankless? Tankless water heaters

are among the newer alternatives that provide an investment you can enjoy immedi-

ately and which will improve your home’s

value. Tankless units offer a slightly higher purchase cost than a standard tank-style,

but have twice the longevity, offering more than 20 years of hot water. Other benefits

include space savings, higher efficiency and lower water heating bills.

Spice Up The Kitchen Switching to natural gas appliances can save you money right away and for the life of the appliances,

and studies show that the majority of homebuyers prefer cooking with natural gas. Heat control and uniform heat are just a few of the advantages modern cooks enjoy with natural gas cooking.

Home is Where the Hearth Is Homes

with fireplaces tend to have stronger appeal for buyers than those without, often invoking feelings of warmth and coziness for prospective buyers. Natural gas fireplaces offer the warmth and beauty of a wood fire, without the mess, smoke, and slow start time. The National Association of Real Estate Appraisers has estimated that the selling price of a home can be increased anywhere from 6 to 12 percent simply by adding a fireplace.

Safety and Security During Storms

Natural gas standby power generators are designed to automatically provide electricity to your home during a power outage – without any harmful back-feeding – safety returning to standby mode when utility power resumes. Generators are dependable, permanently installed and no fuel delivery or storage is needed. Natural gas is the perfect fuel for generators. Because natural gas is transported underground, it is a virtually uninterruptible source of energy for generators.

Natural Gas Is a Great Bargain! In addition to the money you save by switching to natural gas, the City of Tallahassee Natural Gas Utility has great rebates on new gas appliances. We also offer incentives for our existing customers who are replacing old gas appliances. Call your City of Tallahassee Natural Gas Utility today to find out more about gas availability, rebates and low interest loans.

Editorial_061-Benefits.qxp_Template 4/24/18 3:36 PM Page 1

hile much attention has been placed on the record number of young adults who are delaying homeownership, recent research shows that 70% of Americans still believe that owning a home is an essential part of the American Dream.

The nationwide survey of more than 11,300 registered voters was commissioned by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), and was conducted Feb. 14-18, by the polling firm Morning Consult. Homeownership endures as the foundation of the American dream, and that’s why the home building industry is celebrating National Homeownership Month in June.

The benefits of owning your own home are numerous — for you and for your community. You build financial strength and emotional well-being for you and your family, and at the same time, as a home owner, you promote increased stability for the surrounding community.

Financial Benefits: Building equity and accruing wealth when the value of your home appreciates are among the longer-term financial benefits of homeownership. The home equity you build increases your net worth. Then, once a year at tax time, you get a reminder of another advantage of owning a home.

American home owners saw their tax bills trimmed by a total of more than $100 billion in 2014, according to estimates by the Joint Committee on Taxation and NAHB analysis. This includes both the mortgage interest deduction and the real estate tax deduction.

Those who itemize their federal income tax deductions can deduct 100 percent of their mortgage interest payments on a first or second home, up to a maximum mortgage amount of $1 million. On average, 70 percent of homeowners with a mortgage claim this deduction and 90 percent of all mortgage interest paid gets deducted, according to NAHB.

Quality-of-life Enhancements: Homeownership increases stability for you and for the community where you live. Homeowners are less likely than renters to move every year or two. Once you settle in, you make friends, get to know the neighbors and develop a sense of community — and that’s a motivation to help maintain a safe and thriving environment for you, your family and your neighbors.

Commitment to a community fosters civic participation. Through volunteering, school and church activities, and property maintenance, homeowners contribute to making a strong and healthy neighborhoods. To learn more about the benefits of homeownership or find homeownership opportunities in the Big Bend area, please contact: Tallahassee Builders Association

Growing List of Green Products Practices

NOW COMMON IN NEW HOMES

Recent research shows that single-family builders use an average of 10 different green products or practices with each new home they build. That’s good news for the wave of consumers taking advantage of the spring and summer home buying season to find a home that’s perfect for their lifestyle. And that makes it even more important to understand the many advantages of owning a newly constructed home.

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) asked builders this past January about the green products and practices they use with homes they built during the past year. Among the most popular green products: low-e windows, high efficiency HVAC systems, programmable thermostats, ENERGY STAR appliances and energy-efficient duct systems. The most common green practices include improving the home’s thermal envelope, using moisture-control measures to enhance durability and using efficient construction techniques to minimize material usage.

The survey also revealed that 22 percent of single-family builders always or almost always have their homes certified to a green standard. Home buyers rank energy efficiency features among the most desirable things they want in a new home. But they also want the ability to select their favorite appliances, flooring, paint colors and other design elements to give their home a personal touch from the day they move in.

Indeed, those characteristics are just some of the countless advantages of buying a new home. There are many other benefits of owning a new home that might be less obvious, but are often found to be just as valuable. 74 | Parade

Strong Sense of Community

One of the built-in benefits of many new homes is the new neighborhood. When families move into a new community at the same time, lasting bonds of friendship and neighborliness often form right away. Many home builders will host community block parties in these developments to help neighbors of all ages meet and connect.

Ability to Entertain

Older homes are often smaller and therefore more challenging in which to host gatherings with friends and family. Today’s home builders are creating more open spaces with higher ceilings, larger windows and expansive great rooms for added convenience and modern living.

A Clean Slate

When moving into a new home, you won’t have to spend hours stripping dated wallpaper or painting over an ugly wall color. There are no oil stains to remove in the garage, no windows to replace, no walls to be torn down. Everything is already just the way you want it.

Peace of Mind

Building standards have changed a great deal over the decades, almost as fast as technology has evolved. New homes can accommodate today’s advanced technology and be customized to meet the individual home owner’s needs. And knowing that the home was built to the latest safety codes gives the owner added assurance.
