December 12, 2023I’ve recently started a feature in our weekly newsletter called, “A Word From Jen…”, which is a short touch point we will post each week to keep you informed about what’s happening around NDI, the market, and even in my own house.

October 17, 2023I recently started a new blog series answering common home building questions. My goal is to provide you with a quick answer (300 words or less!) to a common question and when I can, give you resources to find more information on the topic. Today I’m answering the question – How Often Should I Water My New Sod?
August 15, 2023Modern home design has taken over in the last few years! It is so interesting to reflect back on the last 20 plus years of home design trends.
July 13, 2023Things are moving along next door at my neighbor's house. It's exciting to watch the progress - the boys are loving it too!
June 28, 2023All eyes and ears have been focused on the recent failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB). This is the first bank to fail since 2008 and everyone wants to know if this is an isolated case and what it means for the economy—including mortgage rates.

April 22, 2022Several years ago, I wrote about Site Development in our Spec Home Series.
