elcome to the Home Builders Association (HBA) of Fort Wayne’s second annual Builders’ Showcase. The HBA is excited to provide the community with an opportunity to tour the latest styles and trends in new residential construction. The free, open-to-the-public, self-guided tour includes twelve homes and five villas located throughout the area. Each home features at least three staged rooms that offer a great way to envision yourself living in the space. Fort Wayne is one of the best places to live; regardless of your stage in life, there is a place for you to call home. Where you call home is paramount today, which is why the HBA is proud to bring new residential construction to the forefront of the region’s conversation on housing opportunities. We hope visiting the homes during this tour makes it easy to see why building a custom home is the ideal way to create a home that perfectly fits with your family’s needs and lifestyle. While touring the properties, engage with the builders and vendors who will all be onsite and can answer all your questions about customizing and building the home of your dreams. Seeing these newly built homes and villas gives you access to multiple home styles and neighborhoods on your schedule. The HBA would like to thank all our members who have worked hard to make sure this Builders’ Showcase represents what is possible when deciding to build a custom home.

BUILDERS’ SHOWCASE 2020
NAHB Identifies Top Features and Design Trends for 2020 Walk-in master bedroom closets, low-emissivity (low-e) windows and laundry rooms are the most likely features in typical new homes in 2020, based on a survey of single-family home builders. Energy-efficient features such as efficient lighting, programmable thermostats and ENERGY STAR appliances will also be likely, as will open design concepts such as great rooms and 9’+ ceilings on the first floor. Energy-efficient or eco-friendly features not likely to be included in new homes, however, are cork flooring in main-level living areas, geothermal heat pumps and solar water heating and cooling. Consumers continue to desire smaller homes, not only in overall square footage, but also the number of features, such as bedrooms and bathrooms. This four-year downward trend has led to the smallest average home size since 2011 at 2,520 square feet — only 20 square feet above the average in 2007, the pre-recession peak. The percentage of homes incorporating 4+ bedrooms, 3+ full bathrooms, and 3+ car garages have also dropped to levels not seen since 2012. “This points to an industry trying to meet the demands of the entry-level home buyer,” said Rose Quint, NAHB assistant vice president of survey research. “Builders are struggling to meet these demands, however, because of factors such as restrictive zoning regulations and lot prices, with the price of a new lot in 2019 averaging $57,000.” NAHB also examined preferences among first-time buyers and repeat buyers to help builders determine what features are most likely to resonate in the market in 2020. When asked which they prefer, the majority of both first-time buyers and repeat buyers would rather have a smaller home with high-quality products and services than a
bigger home with fewer amenities. The top features desired by both groups include: • Laundry rooms • ENERGY STAR windows • Hardwood flooring • Walk-in pantries • Patios • Ceiling fans • Kitchen double sink These trends are reflected in this year’s Best in American Living Award (BALA) winners as well. For example, designers are including flex spaces that add increased functionality to laundry rooms, hardwood flooring and wood finishes to add warmth and character both inside and outside the home, and creating outdoor spaces that seamlessly integrate with indoor living. “Every year, winners of the Best in American Living Awards (BALA) showcase the best of what the home building industry has to offer,” said Donald J. Ruthroff of the Dahlin Group. “As the chair of the BALA Subcommittee and BALA Judging, I am privileged to see projects from across the nation and those projects help me identify the design trends that drive discussions in our offices, with our clients, and at the Builders’ Show.” Designers are also working to address attainability concerns by developing multi-family and higher-density projects that feel more like single-family homes to meet consumer interest at more affordable price points. More consumer data is available in NAHB’s What Home Buyers Really Want report.

Five Things to do After You Purchase a New Home If you’re a first-time home buyer who has just finished the closing process, you might be wondering what you should do as soon as you move in. Maybe it’s unpacking or gathering new design ideas to make the home your own. Before settling in, there are a few tasks you should consider completing to help keep your home comfortable and safe. To help you transition to the status of new home owner, consider adding the following items to your to-do list. Develop a Home Maintenance Checklist
You should regularly check, clean and/or test a wide variety of interior and exterior systems and structures. A robust home maintenance list can help keep your home functioning at an optimal level and save you time and money in the long run. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has a Home Maintenance Checklist to help you get started with the basic guidelines for keeping different areas of your home in the best shape. hud.gov. Keep Documents Related to Your Home Organized
As a new home owner, you’ve likely gathered a mountain of paperwork, printed or electronic. Make sure to keep track of all the documents related to your home purchase, appliance warranties and insurance information. You might need to have those documents handy for future tax preparation or to keep track of items in your home that may need to be replaced or repaired in the future.
Prepare an Emergency Kit
You don’t have to wait for seasonal storms or wintry weather to prepare your home and family for an emergency. In the event of a natural disaster, basic services such as electricity, gas or water, may be cut off for days, or even weeks, so you should be prepared. The Department of Homeland Security recommends stockpiling at least three days’ worth of food and water for your family. Visit ready.gov for a list of suggested items to include in a basic emergency preparedness kit. Change the Locks
If you bought an existing home, you should rekey the locks right away. You never know who the previous owners gave keys to. The National Crime Prevention Council recommends purchasing high quality locks that have a long enough bolt so the door cannot be pried open. If you don’t have a deadbolt on your doors, now is a good time to install one or hire a locksmith. Improve Your Home’s Energy Efficiency
Even if you’ve purchased a brand-new home with the latest energy-efficient building materials and techniques, there are still some improvements you can make to save even more money on utility bills. For example, you can install a programmable thermostat that can be set to automatically adjust the heat or air when the home is most or least used. Visit energystar.gov to learn about more opportunities to improve your home’s efficiency.
