Selling 544 Homes in 2011-Marketplace Homes Brings Innovation to the 2012 International Builder Show

Feb. 8, 2012 - PRLog -- The 68th Annual 2012 NAHB International Builder’s Show, the largest residential building tradeshow in the world, will be held February 8th-11th, a one of a kind opportunity for builders to market and sell to every part of the industry-from builders, architects, developers and distributors.

2011 saw residential sales fall by 6.2% on a national level- but one company managed to see home sales increase by 165%.

Marketplace Homes of Plymouth, MI was responsible for 544 new construction home sales across the country in 2011 and accounted for nearly 16% market share in Detroit, one of the nation’s worst housing markets.

In today’s market, it’s a great time to buy a new construction home, but a tough time to sell your current home. Marketplace Homes’ program provides homeowners with the opportunity to move out of their current home and into a new construction home, without having to worry about selling their home at a loss, or the hassles of becoming a landlord. Marketplace Homes offers current homeowners the opportunity to take advantage of today’s prices and interest rates through their fresh approach to traditional realty.  
"Many families are growing and find themselves stuck in a starter home that just isn’t big enough anymore. They want to move, but can't sell their house for a fair price in today's market, “says Mike Kalis, Marketplace Home’s Managing Partner. “Upgrades are great, but one of the biggest obstacles to buying a new home is selling the old home. We offer something no one else can, a solution.”

With a projected attendance of 50,000 building industry professionals, Marketplace Homes hopes to stand out in the crowd as an innovative solution for not only those with negative-equity mortgages, but builder’s with dwindling new construction home sales.

Partnering as a preferred builder with Marketplace Homes opens the door of opportunity for potential customers who want to buy, but can’t sell.
