ABILENE, Texas -
The Big Country Home Builders Association hosted the 'Parade of Homes' on Saturday and Sunday.
This event gave people a chance to look at new buildings and landscaping designs, even if they weren't interested in buying. A total of 16 homes in eight subdivisions in Abilene were available for viewing.
It might be a good time to buy a home because interest rates are currently lower than normal.
"During the building process if you wanted to build a home, we have a design team that you could meet with to design your own custom home," said homebuilder Ryan Clift. "Once we get the design finalized, we can break ground. As soon as we break ground, 90 to 120 days, we'll be done."
The event will continue next weekend from 2 - 5 p.m. daily.
Admission is $5, but children under 3 are free.

During the Home Builders Association (HBA) of Northwest Indianas 31st Annual Parade of Homes this week, you can explore new construction homes at your leisure. Admission is free for the scattered site eventwith 37 homes in Lake and Porter counties open 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. on the weekends and 4 - 7 p.m. during the week through next Sunday, June 29.
Showcasing a variety of the finest new housing opportunities available across our region, the Parade of Homes is a great opportunity to get some new ideas - whether a new home is in your future this year while prices remain competitive and interest rates are low or you simply want a bit of inspiration for a few updates to improve your current home for now and for later when it does come time to sell.
Who knows, when you discover all the very tangible benefits of building new, you may opt to take the plunge sooner rather than laterand its definitely the best time of the year to get started.
Along with being able to see the many design advantages of the latest floor plans first hand, be sure to ask the builders and their representatives to point out the state-of-the-art materials and technologies that contribute to a lower cost of home ownership as you tour different homes during the Parade.
For example, new homes typically include significantly more storage and livable space than existing homes. According to New Home Source, new homes offer three times the closet space and two times the bathroom space when compared to most existing homes. Its not hard to imaging how that could improve the quality of life for an average family!
Then, in their effort to meet and often exceed the latest building codes, local builders are using the most advanced materials available many of which are designed to significantly reduce maintenance and utility costs for homeowners. They also typically provide comprehensive home warranties that give buyers peace of mind to go along with the fact that everything is brand new inside and out.
When you consider the repair and remodeling costs that often go along with moving into an existing home, these are just a few of the key advantages of new construction. Find out how a local builder can create your personal vision of a dream home so you can avoid the time and money associated with reshaping someone elses.
Visit the latest homes by the following builders to learn more, and be sure to enter the Walk In & Win drawing for a Toshiba 50-inch 1080p LED HDTV. Pick up an entry form at the first Parade home you visit and have it stamped. Tour 8 of the 37 homes and request stamps along the way to complete your form, which can then be left in an official drawing box at any home. All entries will be combined, with one winner selected and notified by e-mail following the drawing on June 30.

Home Builders Blitz -

Mr HomeBuilder
LAWRENCE Habitat for Humanity has been responsible for building more than 40 homes in the lower Tower Hill neighborhood of Lawrence, but its latest project on Acton Street is unique. Last Sunday, it was a vacant lot. This Saturday, it will be the site of two brand new homes.
Habitat for Humanitys Home Builders Blitz is a national event that will produce more than 300 homes across the country in just five days. Husband and wife Susan and Steve Howell, both of whom are on the board of directors of Merrimack Valley Habitat for Humanity, led a Blitz in 2012 on Market Street. The pair owns Howell Custom Building Group in Lawrence, and Steve Howell heads the team of lead builders for this project.
The lesson he has learned twice over is simple.
You cant plan enough. You have your primary plans, and then contingency plans, and then you need a back-up for those plans, he said.
When theres a whole building to finish in five days, every step in the construction process is scheduled down to 30 minute increments. Some nights, build crews will work until midnight. About 250 construction professionals have donated their time to the project, along with 125 other volunteers who provide support services like working the food tent and help with smaller construction tasks. Local businesses that have pitched in include Cote & Foster, Steeplechase Builders and McLennan Century 21, all in Methuen, and Marketing Matters LLC in North Andover.
The new building, designed by local architect Andrew Steingiser, contains two townhouses. Each is a three-bedroom home with its own entrance, so that both families can enjoy their own space.
Steve Howell said he and his wife treat the time they spend working on the Habitat house like a vacation week, but rather than taking a trip down to the Cape like some people might, they spend it working to better the community.

WASHTENAW COUNTY The Parade of Homes, an opportunity to tour a diverse range of newly built houses throughout Washtenaw County, will be held from Friday to Sunday.
The event is conducted by the Builders & Remodelers Association of Greater Ann Arbor (BRAG).
Among the locations in the tour are a house in Chelsea, three in Dexter, one in Saline, and one in Ypsilanti, with the majority in Ann Arbor. Several houses are also in Livingston County. A list of the houses, their locations and details about each are available on BRAG's website.
Pete Nowakowski, marketing and communications director for BRAG, said the Parade of Homes is not only for those looking to have their own custom or model house built.
Anyone is welcome to participate, he said, including residents who want to see the different features of the new houses or see the decorations, as well as home improvement experts and architecture aficionados.
Among the featured houses are a 7,500 square-foot luxury house, a modern artistic custom retreat, and the latest house built by the Ann Arbor student builders, he said.
It's a chance to see a range of different styled houses with some of the latest new technology and features, Nowakowski said, such as a motorized porch screen. He said by looking around, residents may also find something they would like to have done in their current home.
"It's just really cool to see some of that stuff," he said.

BAR HARBOR The Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce, Mount Desert Island Hospital and Healthy Acadia are hosting an educational program on human trafficking on Monday, June 23.
The session will present information to business owners and community members who wish to learn about the issue of human trafficking close to home. This event will be offered twice at the Atlantic Oceanside Hotel and Conference Center. The first session will run from 10 a.m.-noon, and the second will run that evening from 5-7 p.m. The program is free to attend and open to the public.
Every day, local businesses and other people encounter human trafficking victims without realizing their situation, organizers note.
Vicki Eaton, an emergency department nurse and sexual forensic examiner from MDI Hospital, has been a passionate force behind this event from the beginning.
Eaton helped initiate the program in the hopes of spreading awareness. My goal for this class is to give the public a greater understanding of what human trafficking is, where it's occurring, the signs to watch for and who it affects, she said.
Our business owners and employees may encounter victims without recognizing the situation, said Jennifer Wright of the Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce.
In recent years, calls to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center Hotline from Maine have increased more than fifty percent.

Custom home builder WoodCraft Building, Inc., was recently honored for Home of the Year by Northwest ENERGY STAR Homes. The awards recognize homebuilders and home energy raters for outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the Northwest ENERGY STAR Homes program, and an overall commitment to improving energy efficiency in new residential construction. The Bend-based builder has been selected for its net zero project at 2163 NW Lemhi Pass in the NorthWest Crossing area
of Bend.
We appreciate builders like WoodCraft who meet and exceed Northwest ENERGY STAR Homes requirements and are true leaders in the building industry, said Neil Grigsby, initiative manager, Northwest ENERGY STAR Homes. Their partnership with ENERGY STAR indicates their commitment to building longer lasting, more comfortable homes that cost less to own. This commitment extends beyond quality construction to educating the community about the widespread benefits of energy efficiency, including lower utility bills and improved indoor air quality.
During the design and construction phase, WoodCraft focused on maximizing energy efficiency, craftsmanship and livability to create a truly integrated, cutting-edge home. The firm worked with the designer, real estate agent and energy specialist to maximize efficiency, functional design and style. Additionally, we applied our own innovations to increase the compatibility between mechanical components and energy-efficient construction techniques to create a whole-energy footprint for the home, said President Michael Scannell. We were able to demonstrate how green construction can go hand-in-hand with a truly beautiful home.
Homes earning the nationally recognized Northwest ENERGY STAR label are at least 15 percent more energy-efficient than homes built to current state codes in the Northwest. Based on blower door tests which check for air leakage, Woodcrafts home had the fifth highest energy-efficiency rating in Central Oregon and ranked 21 of nearly 14,000 certified Earth Advantage Homes. The home also earned WoodCraft the Earth Advantage 2013 Green Home Builder of the Year Award and the 2013 COBA Green Building Award.

Winner of "Best Home Technology Product" at the 2014 NAHB International Builders Show, trutankless is quickly becoming a household name in the homebuilding industry
PHOENIX As popularity grows among homebuilders and homeowners alike, Bollente Companies, Inc. (OTCQB: BOLC), will showcase its smart trutankless electric tankless water heater line at the PCBC Homebuilding Show June 25 through 26, 2014 in San Francisco (booth #N-6634).
Featuring patent-pending Velix heating technology, the powerfully compact trutankless unit delivers endless hot water to an entire home year after year, without the scale and mineral buildup that plagues most tank and tankless heaters. Designed with long-term reliability in mind, trutankless is built to last 20 years or more and operates at nearly 100% energy efficiency. It's also packed with tech innovations, including its own smart-home compatible app (iOS/AOS) that sends notifications to homeowners and service professionals if a warranty or service appointment is needed.
Since its launch this February, trutankless has taken the homebuilding industry by storm, winning the 2014 NAHB International Builders Show's "Best Home Technology Product" and becoming the standard water heater in a number of new communities, including developments from Bela Flor Communities, luxury home builder Cullum Homes, and custom home builder AB Contracting.
"We've been extremely impressed with the quality engineering and innovation in the trutankless product line," said Rod Cullum, founder of Scottsdale-based Cullum Homes. "We've always felt tankless water heaters are where the industry is headed, but we'd been waiting for a truly reliable whole-home electric tankless product to hit the market. When we discovered trutankless, we knew this was the water heater we wanted for our communities. It's easy to install, and unlike gas units, it can go just about anywhere. We now have a unit on display in our showroom, and our homebuyers love the tech-forward features."
"trutankless is the perfect solution for our multifamily projects," said Allen Bell, president of AB Contracting, a regional leader in the development of single and multifamily communities based in West Virginia. "The small footprint of this product saves a significant amount space, and that's a huge selling point in our multifamily communities where storage is always at a premium. Our customers love the idea of having a water heater that never runs out of hot water -- that's a new concept for a lot of families. Another big selling point is the efficiency of trutankless, which saves the homeowner thousands of dollars in energy bills over the years. Our company has always placed a heavy emphasis on green initiatives and energy efficiency, so to me, trutankless is the way to go. We've made it the standard water heater in the newest phase of Eagle View, our 500-unit community, and we plan to make it standard in our future projects, too."
Bollente Companies will exhibit the trutankless residential line to builders, designers and architects at the PCBC Homebuilders Show, a high caliber conference that has been attracting prominent industry professionals since 1959.
"We're excited to bring trutankless to PCBC this year and demonstrate just how powerful and hassle-free the product is-- for the builder, the service professional, and the homeowner," said Michael Stebbins, president of trutankless. "No other water heater on the market has the ability to shut itself down if there's a leak, notify the homeowner and service professional in the event of a service disruption, or proactively schedule a service call."
About trutankless: Packed with patent-pending proprietary technology, trutankless is engineered to outperform and outlast both its tank and tankless predecessors in energy efficiency, output, and durability. Not only does it provide endless hot water on demand for a whole household, it also integrates with home automation systems and has its own app (iOS/AOS), which allows homeowners to control water temperature to within one degree, obtain service notifications, and monitor usage from their mobile devices. Because hot water is such an intimate and essential part of daily life, this is a highly meaningful new "Internet of Things" player in the arena of smart home tech.
About the Company: Founded in 2010, trutankless, a division of Bollente Companies, Inc. (OTCQB: BOLC), was brought to life through the combined insight, ingenuity, and drive of industry professionals, engineers, and entrepreneurs. The objective was to create a line of electric tankless water heaters that far surpasses traditional tank water heaters in energy efficiency, output, dependability and environmental sustainability while overcoming the frustrating drawbacks of other tankless units on the market today.
