BUY GREEN IN DELAWARE AND HIT A GRAND SLAM

Baseball season has begun and we’re all waiting for our teams to hit their first grand slam. If you’re an active adult looking to buy a new home in Delaware – step up to the plate, add up these elements and hit your own grand slam.

First, consider a J.S. Hovnanian & Sons home. You know this family-owned company has built its entire reputation on building a quality product at a reasonable price.

Next, look at J.S.Hovnanian’s newest active-adult community in Delaware called Roesville. You will receive a great deal on one of over 400 ranch-style, single family homes – each with innovative three-bedroom, two-bath designs, with prices starting in the low $200,000’s.

Finally, take into consideration the fact that Roesville is the first active-adult community in Delaware that has been certified as “green” by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) according to its new, strict green building guidelines.

Have you stopped to think about the reasons why buying green is important? Besides the fact that you are doing your part to preserve our precious environment, buying a home that meets the NAHB’s strict guidelines will help you expend less energy to achieve the same level of comfort you have become accustomed to.

J.S. Hovnanian & Sons’ green homes utilize a wide variety of sustainable home building practices in both their design and in their building process. Incorporating renewable materials helps conserve energy and preserve the earth’s valuable environmental resources.

The company’s engineers have conducted extensive research and have estimated the following energy savings for Roesville homeowners:

The accumulative energy savings once all 444 homes are completed will be more or less equivalent to removing 175 cars from the road, reducing independence on oil by 2,219 barrels per year or saving seven acres of forest from deforestation.
Similarly, the individual cost-savings in owning one of these homes is roughly equivalent to the planting of 55 trees each year, recycling 1,480 lbs of trash or having 67 families switching from plastic to reusable grocery bags.

You have to agree these are impressive savings. In addition, these figures are solely based on Energy Star® gas and electric usage savings and would be even higher if the engineers took into account the savings one can also accrue through the water saving measures that have been built into each home.

So step up to the plate and buy a green home at Roesville, in Delaware. You’ll get great satisfaction out of hitting one out-of-the-park.

Energy savings are estimates, based on comparisons of building the same floor plan to minimum energy and building code requirements, and will vary based on usage.
