It Appears the Time to Buy a New Home is Now!
According to a recent St Petersburg Times article, Tampa Bay area home prices are predicted to rise in 2012. A California based housing valuation and analytics firm sees a 7.4% home price increase this year and according to them, that would make Tampa Bay sixth in the nation in terms of home prices improving.
According one Realtor in the article, and according to many builders in the area, the Tampa Bay area led the way into the crashing of the housing market and Tampa Bay will help lead the way out. It appears the worst may be over and most areas have bottomed out indicating that we should start to see steady gains in the value of homes this coming year.
So, if you have been sitting on the sidelines, it may be time to jump in and consider buying that new home you have been putting off for the last couple of years. Things appear on the upswing and with costs going up and the value of homes finally starting to appreciate again, now is a great time to buy that new home.
American Housing Builders, Inc. has weathered the storm and have many new energy saving features incorporated into all of our new homes, including R-30 ceiling insulation, “Energy Star” low-e double insulated windows, “Energy Star” dishwasher and “Energy Star’ 14 SEER air handler and heat pump to help reduce the costs of maintaining your home.

Finally, Some Good News For Home Buyers
According to the Department of Commerce, home sales jumped 32% and new home sales rose 11.1% in March of 2011. Although this does not mean we are out of the woods yet, it is a very good indication that things may be starting to improve.
To add more good news on top of that, Fortune magazine just named the Tampa Bay area the fifth best area to buy a home in the country. Fortune magazine stated that even with the glut of foreclosures, it is cheaper to own a home in the Tampa Bay area than it is to rent the same house. Fortune magazine went on to say that retiring baby boomers flocking to Florida will help resurrect the housing market in the Sunshine State, putting it in the unique position of helping to lead the country out of the depressed market it has been in for the past few years.
So, with all of this good news, those seeking to buy a new home in the Tampa Bay area have a unique opportunity to buy now at prices that were unattainable just a few short years ago. If you have been considering buying a new home or have been patiently waiting on the sidelines to see what the market will do, now is the time to act.

How important is owning your home?
It is said that your home is where your heart is! The fact is, owning your own home has always been a good thing for families. Our home is not just where we eat and sleep, it also serves as a sanctuary, where our family can come together under one roof to share precious times together. A home becomes the center of our family life, where we share our joys of the day and console each other on problems of the day. It is believed that children who live in a stable environment have a better chance of succeeding in their endeavors. Our home serves as an anchor, helping hold our family together, and in this day and time a stable family is so important. No matter where we travel or where we go in our own separate lives, it has been said that one can always come home.

Lee is one of the owners of American Housing and will gladly help in providing you the information needed to purchase your new home.
Avoid The Money Pit!
There are many advantages to purchasing a newly built home rather than buying an existing 20 to 50 year old home.
It is easy for a buyer to think he, or she, is getting a deal when purchasing a existing home, but there can be many hidden defects one might not see, such as repairs that could start costing money as soon as you move in. It can become a money pit, draining you and your family of precious dollars. On the other hand a new home is like a new car; you get a home with a new home warranty including you’re a/c and other mechanicals. Not only do we cover most everything for the first year living in the home, you also get a 10 year structural home warranty for peace of mind. After all, you have more to do with your life then to be a slave to your home. American Housing Builders makes it easy for you to own a new home allowing you to go do the things that you and your family enjoy. Now is the time to buy a new home because prices are low and with prices this low, the only way prices can go from here is up. Call us now for great prices and great rates and own a new home now. Call American Housing at 727-546-6611 for more information on how to own a new home today.
Homeownership is still the American Dream!
The American Dream!
American Housing is very involved in community projects and recently partnered up with the City of St. Petersburg, Florida and Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County in order to build a new home and fulfill the dream of homeownership for a local family.
At a small home dedication ceremony celebrating this achievement, Clarence Scott, St. Petersburg City Council Member, welcomed many from the community, including Lee Kretzer and Carla Slicker from American Housing, to the “Presenting of the Keys” to the new owner, Mr. Jones. Ron Spoor of Habitat Pinellas opened with a prayer. “We gather to celebrate the commitment and determination of Mr. Jones and to thank all of the people who worked together to turn Mr. Jones’s dream of homeownership into reality. May this home we dedicate today become a beacon of hope for him and others. Together we pray. Amen.”
The New Home Dedication by Clarence Scott, III
American Housing Builders, Inc., through the City of St. Petersburg Neighborhood Stabilization Program, recently built this beautiful new home for Mr. Jones and his family. This achievement was celebrated at the home site on Tuesday, March 8, 2011 with members of the City of St. Petersburg City Council, members of the City’s NSP Program and members of Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County.
At the ceremony, there were gifts for Mr. Jones and his family. A Habitat volunteer provided Mr. Jones with a “symbolic” Habitat for Humanity hammer to take care of those small jobs around the house. City of St. Petersburg Council Members Wingay Newton and Bill Dudley gave the proud new owners an American flag and Kevin Klucas gave a “Welcome” mat. David Fornek offered Mr. Jones a new Bible for him and his family.
Clarence Scott, City of St. Petersburg Council Member, then gave Mr. Jones the keys to his new home. A proud Mr. Jones then proceeded to thank the City and American Housing for helping him and his family achieve their dream of owning their own home.
Finally, the Reverend Daryl Sey from the St. John Missionary Baptist Church blessed this new home for Mr. Jones and his family.

It isn’t just foreclosed, distressed or drastically devalued existing homes that are fantastic bargains in the Tampa Bay area; new construction homes are no exception to the general scheme.
Buying a new home is a daunting task under any circumstances, but buying a home in this economy can be downright frightening. The process can be quite intimidating, especially if you don’t know if you want an older home or a new home. New homes are a great investment, even during an economic downturn. Many builders are selling homes for pennies on the dollar, just to break even. Add this to the fact that many builders are offering free upgrades, and it’s a win-win situation for both the buyer and the seller. The builder avoids foreclosure on the property, and the buyer can customize to his heart’s content.

What is the real cost and what are the real returns when you buy new construction as opposed to an older house? The answers to these questions are necessarily speculative, but certain principles apply universally; and local Florida subtropical conditions, like insects, heat and humidity and occasionally dramatic weather add another dimension to the calculation.
Calculating your true home buying budget.
Did you know that purchasing a high-quality custom home can actually save you money? It’s true. And it’s also true that the
great deal you think you are getting on an existing home in a buyer’s market may not be such a great deal after all.
Why is that? Because so many home buyers don’t add repair and remodeling costs to the price of their new home. But this is
a figure that really must be considered, especially when a home buyer is purchasing a Florida home that is more than twenty
years-old. Homes of this age and older often have repair costs that are not easily seen or predicted, even during a professional home inspection.Of course, the older a home is the more potential problems it may have, but even homes built twenty years ago are at risk for wood rot and termite infestation. Plus, older homes are often smaller as far as actual square footage. Rooms are
smaller, closet space is limited, and kitchen and bathroom remodeling is a common need. There are many more potentially
expensive problems that come with an older home, but even the few things mentioned above can cost the home buyer thousands of dollars.

Buying new construction in a relatively slow market like Central Florida‘s can mean enormous savings for the prepared buyer.
Every home must have an inspection before the sale is completed, but new homes have the added advantage of inspections not
unearthing nasty, expensive problems. Builders will often pay for a home inspection as an added incentive to buy, another great help to your schedule and your budget. Although the tax credit for buying a home expired in September, new homes will easily qualify you for the energy efficiency credit. Older homes would need new appliances, windows, air conditioning units, etc. to qualify. There may be other tax credits available to you, so check with your tax specialist for details.
