TheStreet.com: A Great Time To Buy A Home Monday, April 28, 2008
It's hard to turn on the news today and not hear negative comments about our national economy. But, while things can seem universally unfortunate, if you're in the market for a new home, this is actually a fantastic time to buy! But please, don't just take my word for it...
Last week one of the leading online financial companies, TheStreet.com, posted seven positive financial opportunities this market currently provides to consumers. The first two opportunities they listed were:
1. AFFORDABLE HOMES. Down economies are short-lived and housing markets should recover long before most people are planning to sell their home.
2. LOW MORTGAGE RATES. The Fed has made interest rates incredibly low, resulting in more affordable loans for those wanting to purchase a home.
The complete article is great and discusses other opportunities as well such as inexpensive stocks and financial streamlining. Something everyone should read when they get a chance. To view their full piece, please click here.

Yes! The day has arrived!! Monday, April 7, 2008
It is with much excitement that we officially launch the newly refined CBHhomes.com! We hope that our buyers, realtors, homeowners and builder partners all enjoy our new look!
The new website carries over much of the helpful content from the previous site, but we've added a few things that should make your CBH Homes online experience much more enjoyable.
First, we've significantly changed the way you can search our homes and communities. By combining the technology of Google mapping and the information in MLS we've created new "mashup" technology that we haven't seen before in our industry. With Google and MLS together, buyers and realtors can quickly search for a home under specific criteria and see exactly where that home sits in town while viewing all the details about the product! You can bookmark homes and come back later, email it to a friend or family member or print it out and find the nearest Square1 location to inquire about it in person.
Second, 2008 is the year of the buyer so our promotions are extremely important. To make sure buyers and realtors are aware of the latest CBH promotions we've significantly increased the size of our home page viewing screen and will rotate all our promotions and events here. Also, if you're not currently receiving our newsletter, please be sure to sign up (in the upper right corner) so we can keep you up to date on all recent CBH news!!
There's lots of fun stuff always going on at CBH so we've created a new section of the website called The Neighborhood. Here you'll find Flickr photos of our events, personal employee profiles, some iMix music that inspires us, our Living Large blog posts and even a re-occurring podcast series called Inside CBH where Corey Barton describes the behind the scene ways that CBH continues to produce top-quality homes at prices you love.
So go ahead, play around! And after you've played, come back! We can promise to always add fresh content and new ideas so your CBHhomes.com experience is always fun and time well spent!
