Step Inside the Madison Floorplan

The Parade of Homes, hosted by the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan, is a premier event that celebrates the best of homebuilding in the region. The event shows off the best model homes in southeast Michigan as determined by a panel of architects and industry experts who judge homes based on a combination of factors, including innovation, aesthetic appeal, and value for price.

As we step into 2024, the world of home design continues to evolve, offering fresh inspiration for homeowners looking to elevate their curb appeal. For those of us in Michigan, where the landscape is diverse and the seasons are distinct, staying on top of exterior home style trends is essential to create a residence that reflects both modern aesthetics and local charm. 

As the winter chill melts away and nature awakens, it's time to embrace the rejuvenating spirit of spring. For homeowners in Michigan, this season brings a unique opportunity to revitalize your living space and embrace the beauty of the outdoors. 

First and foremost, we would like to say that we hope you and your loved ones are all safe and well. These certainly are unprecedented times we are experiencing. With most of the country ordered to “stay home” in order to stay safe, we are all spending more time than ever inside our homes. We don’t know about you, but we sure are learning a lot about what works, and what doesn’t work, for our family about our home!

With rising healthcare costs, longer lifespans, and more multi-generational households, it’s no wonder the number of people choosing to remain in their home longer is increasing. Fortunately, new technology and greater services for aging citizens make it much easier and more comfortable to maintain independence at home.

Multigenerational households have seen a sharp increase in the U.S. over the past 10 years. Initially spurred by the Great Recession of 2007-2009, the number of multigenerational households continues to grow today. In 2016, a record 64 million people, or 20% of the U.S. population, lived with multiple generations under one roof, according to the Pew Research Center.

If you’re thinking about building a new home, you know one of the most exciting parts of the process is designing it! So you'll probably want to know what’s trending in new home design for 2018. Today we will focus on a number of new design trends for bathrooms from colors, to finishes, to countertop materials. 

While some may argue that home building doesn’t change much from year to year (yep, our houses are still built with wood, hammer and nails!), we at Evergreen Homes would argue otherwise! Thanks to a raft of popular TV shows about homes, picture-gathering websites such as Instagram, Pinterest and Houzz, and websites dedicated to house plans, new home buyers have a much better idea of what they want and much higher expectations as well. And we at Evergreen Homes have been listening to our home buyers!
