The Orchards Group Completes First Eco-Comfort Home

August 27th, 2011

The Orchards Group is pleased to announce that it has completed its first Eco-Comfort Home at its popular Cumming community The Orchards of Brannon Oak Farm.

Because active adult buyers do not want to worry about rising energy costs, the energy-efficient Eco-Comfort Home provides them with an option that will produce savings year after year.

The first Eco-Comfort Home features the very popular, ranch style “The Winston” plan, and the Eco-Comfort Home package includes:

  • A natural gas “tankless” hot water system that delivers endless amounts of hot water that is heated using super-efficient technology.
  • A continuous hot water re-circulating pump with adjustable timer that provides instant hot water at all hot water taps in the house.  Less wasted water provides  lower utility bills, not to mention the convenience of having “instant” hot water.
  • A “variable speed” gas furnace that operates at a significantly greater efficiency than normal, providing lower operating costs whether it be summer or winter.
  • A 16 SEER air conditioning system that delivers cool air at a far lower cost of operation.
  • A healthy climate HVAC filter system that improves air quality in the home.
  • A radiant barrier sheathing between the roof shingles and the attic which keeps the attic 20% cooler in the summer and 20% warmer in the winter.  This more temperate attic condition helps to keep the entire HVAC system working more efficiently.
  • Thicker wall and attic insulation provides greater heat and cool protection.
  • Water saving dual flush commodes that can cut water consumption by as much as 50%.

The buyer who purchases this concept home at The Orchard of Brannon Oak Farm will pay a discounted price of $7,900.  Eco-Comfort features, their availability and pricing may vary in other floor plans. In addition, the up

Current Trends: How Long Does It Take to Sell a Home?

June 29th, 2011

Learn the factors that affect the average time to sell a home, and steps you can take to improve your chances of a quick sale. These factors include your geographic location, economic factors in your area, the way your home is staged and the pricing strategy you use.

The Time Necessary to Sell a Home Varies Tremendously

Putting a number on the length of time a home will sit on the market is difficult because so many factors play a role in this. Geographic location, the condition of the home, the asking price and even the local job market all impact the length of time it sits on the market. In a high demand market with a home that is priced well, the time between listing the home and receiving an acceptable offer takes between 10 and 21 days, but this number is a “best case” scenario.
