Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

ANTIOCH -- Electrical wires that were rerouted to accommodate a marijuana grow inside an Antioch home caused a small fire Tuesday afternoon, according to the Contra Costa Fire Protection District.

The fire, reported at a single-family home in the 3000 block of G Street at 4:40 p.m., damaged the garage, but caused no injuries, said Fire Captain George Lang. The residents were not home at the time of the fire, but their dog was rescued once firefighters responded to put out the blaze.

Illegal modifications to the home, including wiring that residents had extended from the utility meter outside into the garage, likely caused the fire, Lang said.

Antioch police said several rooms inside the home were used to grow marijuana plants, although an official count was not immediately available. No arrests have been made, but an investigation is ongoing.

Harrisburg, PA (PRWEB) September 24, 2014

In conjunction with Residential Warranty Company, LLCs (RWC) upcoming online validation system, all the home warranty books used for closings, as well as samples, have been updated. Pre-orders are now available by calling 800-247-1812, Ext 2105 or emailing info(at)rwcwarranty(dot)com. The anticipated launch date for the online validation system is October 20th, 2014 and RWC wants all its members to be prepared.

RWC and its Texas Affiliate, HOME of Texas, encourage all members to provide each and every home buyer with a sample warranty book. Sample books are available to members at no charge and may be requested online through Warranty Express, by phone or by email. If members already have a supply of sample books in their offices, both home warranty companies will supply a sticker to affix to the front cover with the appropriate language for the homebuyer(s). All sample warranty books are free to members and can be reordered whenever needed.

In additional to RWCs dynamic full-color warranty books, members are also able to order many other point-of-sale marketing materials for free by virtue of their membership in the RWC (or HOME of Texas) program. Other free materials include: consumer brochures, brochure holders, important document folders, logos for print and web use, lot signs and display easels for model homes or sales offices. RWCs intent in making so many items available to its members at no charge is to help builders sell more homes by providing eye-catching, informative marketing pieces to educate potential buyers on the value of their builder warranty.

Questions regarding the sample books or online validation process may be directed to: 800-247-1812 or info(at)rwcwarranty(dot)com.

The home-buying process involves a lot of decisions, and one of the biggest choices to make early in the procedure is whether to buy a new vs. old property.

The costs can be dramatically different, and each home type has its benefits. There are so many pros for buying new and so many pros for buying old that they balance each other out one isnt better than the other, says Michael Corbett, Trulia's real estate expert. Aside from a homes age, a buyer also has to consider neighborhood, affordability, proximity to work, size and amenities.

Knowing how much home you can afford to buy will dictate your choices. In some markets, you may have more choice of new versus older homes since location drives these choices, says Cara Ameer, broker associate and realtor at Coldwell Banker Vanguard Realty based in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. A newer home will be less expensive in the long run while an older home may be more expensive and in a much more established location.

As you consider your options while you search for a new home, experts suggest asking the following questions:

Whats the Sales Price?

The limited supply of new homes makes them more expensive. Builders are being very cautious about how much theyre building, says Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac. Housing starts are currently at about 800,000 to 900,000 a year as compared to 1.5 million a year during the 1990s, according to the US Census. Weve been under a million houses a year since the financial crisis and thats even continued as the housing market has recovered, he adds.

Even so, premium-priced new homes often sell fast. According to the Census Bureau, the average price for new home prices nationwide in June were about $331.000, on average, while the average price of an existing home was $278,000 nationwide. Theres a $50,000 difference and existing homes are selling for 16% lower, says Blomquist.

When a buyer adds upgrades to a new home, the price can quickly increase. People are often wooed into buying new construction when they go into the model and see how beautiful it is, says Corbett, and they get sticker shock when theyre presented with the final bill.

Will You Have to Renovate? Can You Move in Right Away?

New homebuyers will pay for that newness factor. The homes will likely not need any major repairs for at least 10 years, and if they do, the repair may be covered under a warranty. Youll only have to pay the regular costs of keeping the home running and livable, like utilities, says Blomquist.
