We need this rain but oh is it sad looking outside! Not to mention 3 consecutive days of fighting delays on our construction sites.
September 30, 2016I hope you had a terrific week! Check out what's been happening around here... Langley Model Update Our next model home/NDI spec home is being built in Falls Church.
September 16, 2016We're looking for our next spec lot, and it has been a challenge. The market for good build-able lots in Northern Virginia is tight, and we're finding we have to act fast because there are often multiple offers on the same property.
September 15, 2016Only a few weeks left of summer and man, I wish it would slow down! Have you been watching the Olympics?
August 11, 2016It's August! It's August! Summer - we love you but please slow your roll! We took the boys to Sea Isle City, NJ (my happy place) over the weekend to stay with some dear friends who have been vacationing there since forever!
August 5, 2016Paul and I have lived in Falls Church City (FCC) since 2007. We love it and can't imagine living anywhere else.
July 12, 2016Thanks for stopping by my weekly round up! This Week's Settlement We settled this beautiful Vienna model on Wednesday morning.
June 10, 2016Another busy week here at NDI! Can we all agree we are over the rain? My goodness - not sure how people in the upper northwest do it!
May 18, 2016When I tell people I run a family business, I get asked a lot of questions. I think people are intrigued by the idea of working for a family business. I read an article once in which the author said some of the best companies are family run and some of the worst companies are family run.
April 28, 2016New home designs make me giddy. Especially when I have a personal attachment to the design which is the case with this latest release.
April 22, 2016Last year I wrote a blog post about what you get for our standard base price. Builders tend to load up their model homes with optional features to show potential buyers what their new home could look like.
March 17, 2016If you are financing your new construction project, your lender will need to order an appraisal of the property.
March 11, 2016NDI had a birthday this week and it's made me a bit nostalgic about the last 28 years. I was 14 when Dad started the company and while I helped answer the phones while on college breaks, I didn't start working at NDI "for real" until 2001.
March 3, 2016Happy New Year! I love the turn of the year. New goals. New possibilities. New At-A-Glance desk calendar.
January 12, 2016There is nothing more exciting than talking about sewer lines. Just kidding. I've struggled getting this post written.
October 30, 2015We just put the finishing touches on our new model. We built the Chesterbrook Craftsman for the first time and I'm really proud of it!
October 23, 2015The process of building a custom home can be long when you compare it to other purchases. In fact, it's hard to find a buying process that takes longer.
October 16, 2015This is the fifth installment of our Investor Series. Today I've asked one of our Investor Builders to talk about some of the things he's learned as an investor.
October 2, 2015When Dad started the company back in 1988, the only building program he offered was our Shell Program.
August 27, 2015If you’ve been listening to the economic news, most analysts agree that mortgage rates will continue to rise this year and into next. What does this mean if you’re thinking about building a custom home? For some it could mean a difference of hundreds of dollars in their mortgage payment per month. For others it could mean not being able to qualify for the loan amount they want/need. If you’re thinking about starting the process of building your new home this year, you may want to consider doing it sooner rather than later.
