Flower Boxes Aid Builders to Sell Homes

By: Matthew Buquoi

The housing market of 2008 has come to a sharp decline and it's no surprise that many builders are scrambling to sell homes in a crowded buyers market. Because of this, each builder is looking for an advantage that their competitors don't have. Many builders are dressing up the outside of the homes and focusing on curb appeal and have used window boxes to achieve this. By using curb appeal to create a great first impression, builders are not only luring more potential home buyers in, they are also setting a better tone that puts their clients in the right mind set to see many of the positive upgrades and features the inside of the home has to offer.

The builders bloom of 2006 has come to a halt and now there are many builders in 2008 sitting on houses. For the last couple years many of these builders have been trying to build a better house cheaper and sometimes this has meant cutting corners or keeping the exterior simple to lower costs. These builder are now struggling to get home buyers in the front door. In this heavily favored buyers market, builders are resorting to add-ons and upgrades to make their homes more attractive and appealling to home buyers. It's no surprise that window boxes haven't missed a beat and are flying off the shelves faster than ever. Home owners, as well, are struggling to sell homes without enhancing and upgrading the insides and the curb appeal.

PVC material is beginning to be seen for window box applications to help make them maintenance free. This is a great selling point for builders and homeowners struggling to sell homes. Since PVC material is rot-free and requires no maintenance, builders have chosen it as a selling feature to help them sell their homes. PVC and other composite materials now on the market are helping to bring architectural accents and details back by giving them more lasting power and less maintenance. Architectural details which usually rot are now being made from PVC and other low maintenance material to last forever.

Architecture during the 20th century has shifted from the craftsman style filled with details to the track home style of simple, easy to repeat homes. The housing recession will certainly work to reverse some of that by not only correcting the housing market, but also by correcting the architecture. Don't be surprised to see craftsman style homes and french-country architecture make a comeback.
