Clovis Home Construction Booming West of Harlan Ranch Clovis CA 93619  I wanted to see what new construction was going in between DeWolf and Locan north of Hwy 168.  It had been a while since I had been out there and I was interested in seeing the progress.  I was only intending to visit two different builders/communities but as it turns out I visit four different builder/communities with new construction development.  Originally I wanted to see the Wathen and Wilson community progress but before I knew it I was taking photos of the Benchmark or Century homes and as I wound my way home on Locan I was able to preview the Granville Deauville East community as well.  So I snapped a bunch of photos for you to see of the homes in this area so you could get a feel for what they look like.  I ... 09/07/2018

New Construction Wilson Windsor Models at Harlan Creek Clovis CA 93619New construction is the new crave in the Fresno/Clovis region.  Buyers are tired of getting beat out of a bidding war on that perfect resale home that they really wanted.  They've thrown in the white flag so to speak on resale homes.  Or maybe they are tired of the constant fixing and updating that they are having to do on their home that has seen the greater of three decades of wear, tear and neglect.   We've gone through the depressed mortgage crisis era where short sales, REOs and straight up disgusting homes were selling on the market.  The fix and flip investment companies have had several years now of spit shining the diamonds in the rough homes and pumping out eye candy styled homes with the latest and greatest... 03/23/2018

Benchmark Communities Vantage Homes Harlan Ranch Clovis CA 93619 Strolling through new housing communities around town can seem redundant at times.  Sometimes you feel claustrophobic going from cramped house to cramped house on less than ideal sized lots, like you are driving a Yugo instead of a Lincoln.  This wasn't the case when I previewed the Benchmark Community at Harlan Ranch called Vantage.  I was thoroughly impressed by the large and open floor plans in all of their model homes.  At this location, there are five floor plans to choose from ranging from 2,256-3,331 sq. ft.  These homes have four to six bedrooms.  The base price on these models ranges from $313,900 to $384,900.  It is hard to believe that these new homes are priced at or below some resale homes in the area.  If yo... 06/05/2013
