Are you waiting for a sign that the market is improving before buying your next new home?

Your wait is over!

From our perspective as home builders in Connecticut, the market is showing great signs of improvement — which translates to endless opportunities for homebuyers. Prices and interest rates are still low, but the value of homes and locations is steadily increasing.

In the past couple of weeks, we have helped three families find their dream custom homes in Connecticut. The three-bedroom, two-bath #24 Albion sold last week, as did the #212 Quassapaug. The Quassapaug plan, however, is still available to be built on your own site or one of ours. Take a tour through the gallery and floor plans for detailed information.

And one of our previously featured homes, the #36 Nearbrook, is now under contract. The charming columned front porch is instantly inviting as you enter this three bedroom, two and a half bath home with a two-car garage, complete with energy-efficient features, hardwood floors, a gas fireplace with custom design wood mantle, rear deck and more.

As respected home builders in Connecticut, we were honored to receive these awards.

The Corbo Group Receives 2010 HOBI Award

The Corbo Group, home builders in Connecticut, was recently highlighted in a special section in The Real Estate Book, as well as in a feature called “The Pulse.” The feature focused on Unique Communities — like The Corbo Group’s Owl Ridge community of new homes in Woodbury, Conn., — which give residents a lifestyle choice, as compared to a single family home. Custom homes in these communities are often maintenance-free custom executive residences that provide lifestyle benefits and a community culture.

“The Pulse” asked The Corbo Group several general questions about the unique qualities of community living. “Community living is all about ‘commonality,’” said President Ralph Corbo. “Whether it’s going to the clubhouse/gym at a traditional condo community or strolling along a nature trail in an active adult setting, human beings like living their lives with others who share their same interests.” The Owl Ridge community is a “true mix of both a ‘community’ and neighborhood,” said the home builders in Connecticut. “Each homesite is individually owned, while the ‘community’ aspect revolves around the ‘executive’ nature of the homes with price points beginning at $1 mil. Each home is built around the exact requirements of the owner, yet shares many of the same architectural elements of other homes,” he explained about the new homes in Woodbury.

The Corbo Group, home builders in CT, are currently in the process of submitting plans for “ Covered Bridge– a Private Community of Single Family Homes”. This “common interest” community of new homes will be situated on 12 acres of land near the Naugatuck-Waterbury line in Connecticut. There will be a private road and quaint covered bridge over a stream leading into the community. The Inland Wetlands Commission approved the plans for the new community on July 8, 2010 and we are now submitting the proposal to the City Plan Commission to finalize the process. No disruption of the wetlands will occur during the development of the community.

The City of Waterbury, CT hasn’t seen a new single-family home development in over a year. The location and design of the new homes for sale in  Covered Bridge will suit people in their late 20s and 30s. Every home is surrounded by beautiful wooded views and is very accessible to both Interstate 84 and Route 8 for easy travel and commutes.

The single-family homes include two or three bedrooms and a one-car garage, as well as generously sized kitchens, family rooms and either an exterior deck or patio. Homebuyers can expect their new home will be built with the utmost attention to detail. The package includes custom designed and engineered whole house wiring to provide families with the best technology for internet access, multi-room audio and high definition TV allowing you to entertain your guests and enjoy your home to the fullest.
