Listen to the interview.

I hope you’ll stop by and see me today  between 1-3 at the 37th annual Home and Remodeling Showcase at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center.

The current economy has us wanting  “right-sized” homes that cost less to build and maintain. In a recent Better Homes & Gardens survey of potential new-home buyers, 32% said they expected their new home to be smaller than the one they already occupy. For many, quality, functionality and energy-efficiency have become more important than size. Drees Homes  is right on target with what consumers want with their  new Simplistyle designs. These new designs offer open floor plan, with flexible living spaces that will appeal to people who want to live more affordable and simpler lifestyles. The new designs are Energy Star-rated  and range in size from 1,200 to 1,800 sq. ft. and modestly priced from $130,000.  Simplistyle home designs are available at select Drees’ communities in Cincinnati, OH and northern Kentucky.
