Toledo builders separate from pack with innovative show homes

Article Abstract:

Two local builders are enjoying an average of 15 to 20 home starts a year since being commissioned to build show homes of big companies. Local home builder Tom Peternel was the one who built the PBS television station five years ago. From this contract, Peternel not only received money but also got free TV and radio advertising. Since then his name has become a by-word in home building in the area. Another local home builder, Bill Decker, built his own show house called the Ideal Energy Home. This show home served to promote Spring Brook, his new housing development.

Vegas marketplace shifts to first-time buyers

Article Abstract:

The construction of new hotels and three major parks/resorts in Las Vegas, NV, will generate about 30,000 new jobs in 1995 and open up new market opportunities for residential builders. Shannon Communities Inc expects first-time buyers to dominate the new migrants and has prepared itself to cater to that market. Their first entry-level attempt was the Solana Del Norte project which generated successful sales because of its affordability. Meanwhile, North Las Vegas' positive attitude towards the housing market also contributed to the surge in first-time sales.
