McLean, Virginia – The Craftmark Group, one of the largest privately held homebuilders in the Washington area, includes both Craftmark Homes and Craftstar Homes. In April, 2009, they led housing recovery in the nation’s capital area with total sales of 37 townhomes and single family homes.
In the words of Ken Malm, President of the Craftmark Group, “April has been our best month since June, 2005, demonstrating that there is significant recovery occurring in the Washington area housing market. Our community sales managers and sales consultants have been having great success explaining to people why this is the best time to buy a new home. With prices as low as they can go and the best interest rates in 39 years now available, we can offer incredibly affordable payments that make it easy for people to move up to a premium home by Craftmark or Craftstar.”
“Our homebuyers understand this is their final opportunity to buy low,” he said. “They can’t resist taking advantage of an immediate equity boost from prices that will rise in the near future. And our first time purchasers realize this is their last chance for the $8,000 housing stimulus tax credit, and that they must act now to meet the federal settlement deadline of November 30, 2009.”
“Our customers have also been very responsive to our Green/Energy Star programs,” Ken added. “These have redefined quality for our times, and make us the tangible leaders in energy conservation, indoor air quality, water efficiency and resource management wherever we build.”
The Craftmark Group has been ranked among in the top 100 builders nationally by Professional Builder Magazine and recognized by the Washington Business Journal as one of the top 50 privately held businesses in the nation’s capital region. They have consistently delivered 350-550 homes a year since the mid 1990’s.
The Craftmark Group has been honored with the Greater Washington Entrepreneur of the Year Award, and is the 5 time winner of the Large Volume Builder of the Year Award, as well as 50 other major design and quality awards.
