Boone Homes Designs Homes for Top Buyers – Women

Sept. 1, 2010 - PRLog -- Richmond, Va. – When Boone Homes designs and builds Richmond and Roanoke new homes, the award-winning builder targets the top home-buying demographic: women. Women influence 91 percent of home buying decisions, so Boone Homes makes them feel at home with easy-to-clean mudrooms, elaborate laundry rooms and the newest kitchen designs and technologies, along with other highly demanded features.

Boone Homes recognizes what real estate advisory firm RCLCO confirmed in a recent report: women now dominate both the pool of college graduates and the workforce, comprising 60 percent of each group. Boone Homes offers home plans that help them organize their family lives more efficiently so they have more time and energy to focus on the many demands pulling them from outside the home.

In the interest of helping buyers stay organized and efficient, Boone Homes builds extra large laundry rooms with enough space to add a large sink, countertops, desk space and organizational cubbies. Mudrooms provide similar opportunities for keeping coats, backpacks and sports equipment in their proper places, with tile floors, cubbies, hooks and shoe storage. Examples of fully finished mudrooms can be found in the Westcott and Grey Oaks communities in Richmond, Va.

But there’s another group of women out there who may not be as involved in laundry and children’s sports. They are WINKS, Gen Y women with incomes greater than $50,000 a year and no kids. The RCLCO report predicts they will dominate urban areas by the year 2015. RCLCO says WINKS want urban or urbanlite areas and walkable neighborhoods. Building in Richmond and Roanoke, Boone Homes meets their preferences, too, with many pedestrian friendly communities. As a bonus, Boone Homes also builds in many low-maintenance communities, where WINKS can choose to avoid the hassles of yard work and even snow shoveling.

Another feature Boone Homes targets to women buyers – with or without children – is advanced kitchen technology. Boone Homes frequently builds oven towers into kitchens. Not only are the towers easier on the back than floor level ovens, but Boone Homes will often install ovens with speed cooking technology that cuts the time it takes to get dinner on the table. Advanced technology in dishwashers can eliminate the need to prewash dishes and make loading easier, saving women time and the hassle of an often dreaded chore.
