One of the big elements of change we see for buyers looking for a new home today is credit scores. Different than past scenarios - you need a good credit score to take advantage of the great rates available today. We have worked with a number of buyers over the past two years to get their credit scores in line so they can take advantage of great rates and the opportunity for a new home. Take a look at this useful video to get tips on how credit scores impact your mortgage application. Have a great new year.

This article was published right before the holiday, but it is a great reminder of how affordable a new home is today.

This week, Dewey Homes is completing three of our new LEED certified Model Homes in Various locations in the Philadelphia Area. We designed our green program around the gold standard for sustainability  - The US Green Building Council's LEED-H program. At our Raven's Claw Golf Course community , we are moving out of our cuurent model home and moving into a brand new LEED-H Silver model home. This home will look like many of the homes we build already, but if you peek behind the walls - you will see some very big changes. One of the biggest changes we included in this home is a Waterfurnace Geothermal System. The video below is a great explanation of the benefits of using a geothermal system.
