WASHINGTON – Building or buying a house is nothing if not an emotional roller coaster. But the trick to bringing your ride to successful conclusion is to try to even out the peaks and valleys.
The way builder- educator Tom Stephanie describes it in his seminars for builders and buyers, the journey typically starts out on a high note as you through the preliminaries of finding the area where you want to live, picking a particular subdivision or neighborhood and choosing a model or design. Then the bottom tends to drop out as you pick your options and figure out how much it will cost. You plummet quickly from feeling of excitement to shock or anger. Some people give up. But those who decide to keep going often find that the trip starts to level off as they sign the contract and are approved for financing.
Red, White, and Boom is Cape Coral’s way of coming together as a community to celebrate the 4th of July. July 4th is the day we celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence and America’s freedom from Great Britain. On July 4, 1776 America was born, making this year America’s 240th birthday! Woohoo! Okay, that’s your history lesson for the day 🙂

As a general rule you should always consider ceiling and door heights as well as quality general finishes. Higher ceiling and door heights will always get higher values. Finishes should be neutral and work within a variable taste spectrum to ensure top home resale. Beyond that, here are a few more specific considerations.

One of the main things that you will have to consider is the area in which you want to build. Will it be a good location now and for years to come?
