Summer vacations!

A record winter has been followed by a record summer here in the Philadelphia region. It seems like everyone is doing their best to beat the heat. The pools at our communities have been packed and many our doing fabulous group trips.

As for me by the time this summer is over I will have travelled to the following destinations: Maine; the Chesapeake Bay; Ocean City, NJ; New Hampshire; and, Cape Cod!

I am doing an informal survey about popular vacation destinations from our communities so stay tuned!

My Absence

Hello Everyone! I am back. I am sorry for my absence BUT I have a GREAT excuse.

Paper Shredding

McKee Builders Award-Winning Active Adult Community in Delaware County, Foxfield, is having a Paper Shredding event on April 10th from 11AM to 3PM. This is a great way to do a necessary errand, and tour our models. Visitors are welcome to bring guests who will be treated to refreshments and some infamous Philly Soft Pretzels.

There are only 7 Ranch Homesites left to build your dream home, and the decorated models are now for sale. The event will be held in the secluded rear portion of the property where the Villas sales office is located. Be sure you check out those models too, they are quite deceiving in size and some models only have one Home remaining. Plus they are the only multi-family homes in the area to offer a private one-car garage. I also recommend you tour the clubhouse during your visit. It is a fabulous Mediterranean inspired facility that is bound to make you fall in love with Foxfield.

Best,
Frank Jr.

Remember: Buy now, for tomorrow's too late!

Winter

Greetings Homebuyers,

I hope you have survived this record breaking winter. We’ve seen a lot of people who are ready to move in to a fabulous McKee community where all the shoveling and snow plowing are done for you! This winter also reinforced my belief in a well-insulated energy efficient home which I’m sure many of you with high energy bills can attest to.

This is a perfect opportunity to talk about our Energy-Star Certified Green Homes in the tax-friendly state of Delaware. All McKee homes in Delaware go through a third party verification to ensure the building envelope is nice and tight. A great example of this is The Courtyards at Brandywine in Northern Wilmington where our insulation blows the competition away with R-38 in the ceilings and R-19 for all exterior walls. On top of that we use energy star rated appliances to keep utility costs down. Our quality carriage homes also feature 2” x 6” framing on exterior walls, allowing for even more of that high rated insulation.

Best Regards,
Frank McKee, Jr.

Seasons Greetings to All

Allow me to introduce myself as the new editor of the McKee Builders blog. My name is Frank McKee, Jr. and I am thrilled to be taking over for my sister Jenni. As you may have noticed it has been a while since this blog was updated. I’m pleased to report the reason is because Jenni McKee is a proud new Mom to a beautiful baby girl!

Some other exciting information I want to share with you is in regards to the new Move-up Buyer Tax Credit. This allows homeowners who have lived in their current residence for at least 5 of the past 8 years the opportunity to receive up to $6,500 in tax credits.

Single taxpayers earning up to $145,000, and married couples who earn up to $245,000 are eligible for a partial to full credit. This credit applies to sales contracts entered into by April 30, 2010 and closed by June 30 2010, so the time to act is now! There will not be an extension of this program so head out to one of our Award-Winning McKee communities and ask your Sales Counselor for more details on how you can benefit from this program.

Happy Holidays to all.

Goings-on at McKee

I was at the Courtyards at Brandywine this morning with our fabulous photographer, John Martinelli. Seeing the models through his camera lens is amazing and made me focus in on details that I haven't quite seen through the big picture before. John likes to focus on entrances and first impressions. These models in particular each have a stunning entrance, but all in very different ways. Of course, I especially love the Shannon because the open family room - kitchen design was my plan! Will post pictures just as soon as I have them.

I have been very busy with a program at Neshaminy Falls to bring in some new homes there for the first time in many years. We have about 7 new homes available currently and about 5 different floor plans. I truly think we are delighting folks with the opportunity to buy new construction for as low as $89,000. We also have the Turnbridge model from Nittany Glen (click here to see a floorplan) with a beautiful cherry kitchen.
