The Yin Yang of the Des Moines Homebuilder Show

by Kevin Howe on June 18, 2009

I had an opportunity to tour the annual Des Moines Area Homebuilders show last weekend. As usual there was an impressive selection of homes priced yinyangfrom the $500,000 to $1,000,000+. It’s always a great way to see new building products and trends.

I believe that all but one of the homes was sold.The Yin Yang is that it’s a reflection of the market that  most builders would not commit to building homes in this price-range without having a committed buyer. However it’s very encouraging that their are still plenty of buyers purchasing at the homeshow price-points.

Congratulations to Scott and Stephanie Denton of DentonHomes for building another original and innovative home and receiving the Best of Show award.
