Homes By Dickerson On Parade!

September 23, 2014 Homes By Dickerson Comments 0 Comment

It seems fitting to talk about The Parade of Homes today on this the first day of fall! Even the weather is following suit with cooler temperatures and a scattering of leaves on the ground. We at Homes By Dickerson are excited about the change of seasons but more importantly we are looking forward to the upcoming Parade as we put finishing touches on each of our eight Parade Homes across the Triangle.

Most of you are familiar with the Parade of Homes and all that it entails. Three weekends of Open House opportunities across Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and surrounding areas where one can “ooh and aah” over incredible structural options, outstanding trim work, great landscaping features and gorgeous interior designs. It is no wonder that this 49th annual event is one of the most popular new home showcases of the year and Homes By Dickerson takes advantage of every moment. As a custom builder we see this as an excellent chance to highlight our strengths of building a home with our five key concepts in mind: Quality, Service, Design, Commitment and Craftsmanship. We are not just putting eight specific homes on Parade but we are putting our company and reputation on Parade as well!

Some builders may consider The Parade as an afterthought, something that is fit into their fall schedule; however, at Homes By Dickerson, we take a different approach where we carefully pick our location, home sites, plans and options for each of our Parade entries early in the year and give ourselves months of planning and design time. We know how important it is for our homes to stand out and “Wow” passersby so we pull out all of the stops from unique design to intricate detail work and complementary furnishings and interior decorating. Months of preparation and care go into each home with no detail overlooked so that each home boasts its own personality and character. We hope that each person that walks through the door feels at home and knows that the quality and attention to detail they see goes into every home we build, whether it is a Parade Home or your future home.

We know you have a lot of options when it comes to viewing Homes on Parade but we encourage you to visit a Dickerson Parade Home during the first three weeks of October:
October 4-5th
October 10-12th
October 17th-19th

Who knows, you may find The Home of Your Life!

Homes by Dickerson makes the BUILDER Magazine Next 100 List

May 14, 2013 Jenn Nowalk Comments 0 Comment

BUILDER Magazine just announced it’s list of Top 100 Builder’s based upon 2012 closings and volume. Along with this list they have

also listed the Top Next 100 Builder’s and Homes by Dickerson has made the Next 100 list coming in at #191!

To read the full article, check out the online edition of Builder Magazine Online by clicking here.

Below is the full press release:

For Immediate Release

BUILDER Unveils Annual Builder 100 Rankings

Listing shows increase in closings for top U.S. builders

WASHINGTON, D.C. (May 13, 2013) — BUILDER, the leading media brand in residential construction, this week unveiled the BUILDER 100, its annual ranking of the 100 largest home building companies. D.R. Horton topped the list for the 11th consecutive year.

Horton closed 19,954 homes in 2012, up 16 percent from 2011 and nearly 3,500 more than second-ranked PulteGroup, which had 16,505 closings, and 6,152 more than third-ranked Lennar Corp., which posted 13,802 closings. Rounding out the top 10 builders based on closings are NVR (9,843), KB Home (6,282), Hovnanian Enterprises (5,356), The Ryland Group (4,809), Beazer Homes USA (4,428), Meritage Homes Corp. (4,238), and Habitat for Humanity International (3,766). The top 10 builders all are publicly traded companies, except for Habitat, which is a nonprofit organization.

The BUILDER 100 continued to outperform the overall market last year. Closings for the BUILDER 100 companies totaled 167,658 in 2012, up from 141,618 in 2011, the lowest total on record. The top 10 builders retained their dominance, closing one-quarter of all new homes for sale in 2012. Overall, BUILDER 100 companies closed 44.2 percent of all new homes for sale, a slight increase from 2011.

“2012 was a shot in the arm for the nation’s largest builders,” said Jean Dimeo, editor-in-chief of BUILDER. “Clearly, builders benefited from improved economic conditions, low mortgage interest rates, and lower land costs. These factors not only allowed companies to organically grow sales, but also expand into new markets that had pent-up demand for new homes.”

The BUILDER 100 is compiled from data collected by BUILDER magazine via direct survey of the nation’s top builders. The BUILDER 100 and the Next 100 lists are made up of private and public builders and identify the top home builders in the U.S. by annual closings and gross revenue, as well as information about where and what they build.

BUILDER magazine has conducted the survey and compiled the BUILDER 100 list since 1984. The BUILDER 100 and the Next 100 lists of builders are featured in the May 2013 issue of BUILDER magazine and on builderonline.com. This year’s honorees also will be recognized at an awards dinner at the 2013 Housing Leadership Summit in Scottsdale on May 14.

HGTV :: Kitchen Island Inspires Design

December 20, 2012 Jenn Nowalk Comments 0 Comment

It was exciting to see Kerri Kanter, one of our homeowners’ kitchens highlighted on HGTV. She speaks about wanting to have an oversized island perfect for enteraining and keeping the functionality of the kitchen with unexpected details. Everything about the home that the Kanters dreamed about and wanted to incoporate into the home was so purposeful. They identified the Acadia plan by Homes by Dickerson and then incorporated and made changes based on their personal taste and how they will be living in the home. They did a great job of incorporating lots of natural light coming into the home and maximizing the views.

Take a look at the article here:

Cheers to 100! Let’s keep on going!

November 1, 2012 Jenn Nowalk Comments 0 Comment

We all stopped on Thursday morning to celebrate hitting 100 sales year to date in 2012. What better way to celebrate than with cake! This was a first milestone in our companies history and one that has been achieved by a lot of hard work from everyone on our team and one that should not be taken lightly. We cherish each and every family worked with and home sold. We look forward to two more months in the year to see if we can double our sales from 2011.

Thank you to all of our buyers, homeowners and REALTORs that we work with to make this possible. We value the partnership in the creation of the homes that we build. We never seem to build the same home twice and you can see from our online galleries and virtual tours that our homes take on the personal touches of our buyers. All of our homes are built with high performance green features and the finishes selected are between the buyers and our design coordinators. Our new design center that opened in March of this year has certainly attributed to our success as well and has been a great tool. Having more space to be able to work within and the ability to demonstrate so much of what we can put into the homes creates a much smoothier process and visualization for our buyers.

So Cheers! We look forward to building and selling many more great homes this year and for years to come!
