If you hired experts to perform a Feasibility Study it could cost several thousands of dollars.
Next, we’ll layout a new home design on the survey or site plan.
You can choose from our portfolio of hundreds of new homes we’ve already designed and built or our in-house architectural staff will create a custom home plan just for you.
If you hired an architect to create a custom home concept plan it could cost up to $10,000 or more if you could find the same quality of architect we have on our staff.
And prior to putting any money at risk on the lot, we’ll calculate the base new home price to build.

More Breaking News!
Watch this video and in the next few minutes you’re going
to see how easy it is to tour a model home under construction
whenever you want.
Take a Look at our Glenbrook model. This is the Model home
we’ll be building on this Bethesda site. This home won Home of
the year in 2007. We’ve updated the home plan, moved some walls around,
added a bay, added some windows and added stone to the front of the house.
And notice the covered porch, so when your guests and
family arrive for that holiday party, they won’t get soaked in the rain.
If you’re like me, you’ll love having a large open foyer so you and your
guests won’t feel cramped and awkward when you welcome them into
your new home. And notice the easy flowing circulation
path around the foyer, family room ,kitchen and dining room. Can
you see why I’m so excited about showing off this
new model home? Check out the floor plans here.
Notice the home office over the garage. It’s plenty spacious and away
from the action, so you’ll be able to concentrate and focus while you’re
working from home. And the secondary bathrooms are layed out so your
kids 2 bedrooms can share the jack and jill bath. And when your house
guest stays over, they can have their own suite.
As you study these floor plans you’ll realize how nice it is to build your
home customized to your exact needs.
Now the lower level has tons of space. This space can be sectioned off so
you can watch movies in the movie room or just send your kids down so
you can enjoy peace and quiet upstairs while
you’re entertaining your friends. Remember when you were in high school
and your parents made you entertain your friends downs stairs? Well I do.
And that’s why we designed this plan
so the kids can’t sneak out and pool hop like I did when I went to Winston
Churchill High School and pool hopped at Tally -Ho pool in Potomac. But
if you really want a separate entrance, or an Au Pairs suite, we can effortlessly
design it in. And that’s an example of why I’m calling our new home plans
Semi-Custom Homes You Can Customize.
Because with Kevin, our on staff genius architect, making changes to plans so
you get exactly what you want will be easy as playing with etch-a-sketch.
Now take a look at the actual award winning home.
Can you Imagine yourself opening the door at your next holiday party and
greeting your guests in this bright, spacious, dynamic foyer. Wouldn’t that be nice?
Just think how pleasant it will be having all those guests over watching the
Redskins at your next Superbowl party. You’ll love being able to socialize with
friends and family while your cooking in this spacious open floor plan with 9 foot ceilings.
And here’s a fact for you, homes with open floor plans, homes with rooms
flowing easily from one to another, are just more pleasant to live in. Are
you beginning to see how much more enjoyable a new home will make your life?
I think you’ll really like this new updated award winning plan. We’ll be giving tours
of the model home during construction, if you don’t mind the construction mess,
and if you want to imagine what building your home will be like, you’ll definitely
want to walk this model home while we’re building. And in 6 months, when the
model home is complete, you’ll be able to tour the finished product. We’ll also be
starting a few other model homes around town. We’ll let you know as they go up.
And by the way, stay tuned for our semi custom homes coming out in the spring.
And you’ll be surprised to discover how affordable we’re going to make these to you
before we open these fresh, dynamic new home plans up to the general public. We’re
calling this new line of homes, semi-custom homes you can customize.
Obviously, you can clearly see the advantage of living in an award winning home design
that you can customize to meet your exact needs.
You are ready for your dream home, right?
If you have more questions or you want to
get an early peak at our full new line of homes,

When is the Best Time to Buy a Home in Bethesda, Maryland?
With owning a home affordability getting tougher and home mortgage rates relatively high compared to the 2020, but, still near historically low, when you look at long term mortgage rate graphs, you timing could be perfect for buying a new home in Bethesda.
And in very strong home buying Bethesda market and surrounding areas (at least inside the Washington DC beltway -Arlington, Chevy Chase, Falls Church, McLean, Vienna and Northwest Washington DC – specifically), there are many options to consider.
But before you start contemplating about the home style and number of bedrooms, here’s a real quick overview of some segments of the Maryland, Virginia Washington DC housing market.
1. “Resale” homes probably represent the biggest percentage of the market. Built years, or even decades ago, these homes were designed and built to reflect the requirements and the tastes of previous owners. They may be outfitted with outdated fixtures and technologies, and have poor construction. Buyers of these homes often fall in love with them for their character, their location or their “good-enough” fit with their needs, and accept the necessity of investing additional time and resources in remodeling and rebuilding.
2. “Spec” homes are built based on the speculation that a buyer can be found during or shortly after construction. These new homes may be designed with up-to-date floor plans and features to fit current preferences. When acquired before completion, a buyer may be able to select some finishing touches. But this type of home construction may also be designed to minimize cost and get the largest proceeds for the home builder, potentially leaving homeowners with less than the best materials and designs that are not as contemporary.
3.“Custom” homes are built according to the buyer’s specifications, usually on land they already own. While this type of new home construction embodies only ten percent of the market, it gives the homeowner the most control. Working with an “on your lot” custom home builder, the buyer determines all facets of home construction—from site selection to the home’s style, size and floor plan, types of windows and doors, flooring and siding, and all the details—cabinets, lighting fixtures, drawer pulls, paint colors, etc.
While “on your lot” home builders are sometimes thought of as large home builders, they can also accommodate today’s trend towards “right-sizing”. These days a custom home builder may work on smaller homes starting around 2500 square feet. Benefits include keeping material and labor costs lower and customizable floor plans.
The Best Time to Buy a Home in Bethesda, Maryland
Buying a home is one of the most significant decisions you’ll make in your life. It’s not just about finding a place to live; it’s about investing in your future. The timing of this decision can greatly impact the value you get from your investment. This is especially true in Bethesda, Maryland, a city known for its highly desirable real estate market.
Understanding the Bethesda Real Estate Market
Downtown Bethesda
The real estate market in Bethesda is unique due to its inelastic supply of homes and land. With high demand driven by top-rated public schools, an abundance of high-paying jobs, and close proximity to Washington DC’s museums, attractions, and restaurants, Bethesda offers an exceptional living environment. This constant demand paired with limited supply means that the best time to buy is always now. Waiting for the “perfect” moment can result in higher prices due to the ongoing demand.
Interest Rates: Historically Low and Temporary
Even though today’s interest rates of around 6.7% are higher than the exceptionally low rates of 2020, they remain relatively low from a historical perspective. Over the past 30 years, interest rates (see Freddie Mac interest rate graph below) have been much higher. In the 1990s, rates often exceeded 8%, and in the early 2000s, they hovered around 6-7%. The ability to refinance also means that current rates are temporary; you can always secure a better rate in the future. On the other hand, home prices in Bethesda are unlikely to decrease over the long term due to the inelastic supply and steady demand.
30 Year Interest Rates – Current Interest Rates Are Still Historically Low
The Impact of High Demand and Limited Supply
Bethesda’s real estate market is characterized by its inelastic supply. There is only so much land and a limited number of homes available, while demand continues to grow. This imbalance drives up home prices over time. The city’s appeal—excellent schools, job opportunities, and vibrant lifestyle—ensures a steady influx of potential buyers. This means waiting could only increase the cost of your desired home.
The Impossibility of Timing the Market
It’s important to understand that timing the market is virtually impossible. This is true for any market, and the Bethesda real estate market is no exception. Real estate is a long-term investment, not akin to day trading stocks. Over the years, real estate consistently appreciates. Historical data shows that despite short-term fluctuations, the value of homes in desirable locations like Bethesda tends to rise over the long run. Trying to wait for the “perfect” time to buy can result in missed opportunities and higher costs.
Personal Circumstances
While market conditions are crucial, the best time to buy a home also heavily depends on your personal circumstances. Here are a few factors to consider:
Financial Readiness: Ensure you have a clear understanding of your budget and what you can afford, including the purchase price, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance.
Job Stability: A stable job and predictable future income make it easier to commit to a mortgage.
Current Housing Situation: If your lease is ending or you need more space due to family changes, it might be the right time to buy.
Long-Term Plans: If you plan to stay in Bethesda for several years, buying now can lock in current prices before they rise further.
Conclusion
In Bethesda, Maryland, the best time to buy a home is today. The combination of high demand, limited supply, and the area’s many attractions means prices are likely to continue rising. By understanding the unique dynamics of the Bethesda real estate market and considering your personal circumstances, you can make a well-informed decision.
For all these reasons, today is the best time to buy, and the second best time to buy is tomorrow. Remember, buying a home is a significant investment. Take your time, do your research, and make sure you’re financially prepared. With patience and careful planning, you’ll find the perfect home at the perfect time—today or tomorrow, but ideally, before prices climb even higher.

We’re really proud of the fact that three of our design and build
projects have been nominated for the prestigious
Montgomery County Builders Association Home of the Year Awards.
These nominations are based on design quality and building
craftsmanship and execution of architectural details.
The first project that is nominated is a one story addition to a home on Arrowood
Road in Bethesda. The home backs to the Burning Tree Country Club Golf Course.
You can see a photo below of the kitchen. To see really nice cabinet photos click here
Country Casual Bethesda Home Addition Nominated For MCBA Award
Another project nominated is a large addition and whole house renovation of a
log home originally constructed in the 1920s.
Kinda strange, but this home is also on a golf course – Manor Country Club
Golf Course. The views are outstanding and after our addition and renovation
project the owners are now able to enjoy views from about every room in the
home – Imagine views of the beautiful pond at the 11th hole, gently rolling
hills and nothing but green as your cooking dinner and entertaining your
guests gazing through a 20 foot tall wall-o-glass in the kitchen-family
room. It’s really quite a view! Take a look at the second photo below. Click here for more pictures of this amazing addition.
Many of you came to visit us at this home in October when we had
an open house event and gave tours. We had over 200 people at the
open house and we’re planning another event sometime in the spring
since we promised we’d show the home again to about 20 people
that missed the tour of this really unique and interesting project.
Rockville Home Addition With Killer Golf Course Views
And the last project nominated (not on a golf course)
is a new custom designed Arts and Crafts home in
North Arlington. Here are more photos of this home
This is another project that lots of you stopped by to visit
when we had a two day open house event a few months ago.
Are you beginning to see that not only do the homeowners
enjoy their homes, but I think I get as much fun out of showing them
off as the owners do?
So much fun in fact that (as you may have heard) we’re
building a few model homes around town and should be
breaking ground in the coming weeks on a few (more on that later).
Stay tuned for more breathtaking photos of these award nominated
projects.
