When the autumn rains hit, folks in the Pacific Northwest rejoice. It’s part of our culture. The rain signals our habitual return to galoshes, steaming coffee, and the well-worn fleece jacket kept hanging on the kitchen hook, even on the hot days. When you live in the Pacific Northwest, you learn to live with the rain, not around it.

There are lots of really fun decisions to be made when designing your kitchen, whether you’re an enthusiastic home cook or just love some tasty takeout. Some of the best conversations in any home take place over a good meal, so it’s ok to splurge a little and design a kitchen that you simply love to be in. With dozens of custom home floor plans to choose from, you have lots of options. And here’s the best part: if you see a feature in one kitchen that you’d like to add to a different floor plan, we totally do that.  

You’re finally ready to take the leap. Your first home. You’re ready to say goodbye to apartment life and hello to your own home, your own kitchen, your own backyard where you can host your own summer barbecues. No rent hikes. No noisy neighbors on the other side of the wall. No more boring white walls. Sure, the thought of owning your own home is a bit scary (everyone feels that way). But it’s time. You’re ready.

Home values are up. Rates are still at historic lows. That means that now could be a great time to sell your existing home and finally design and build your dream home. Maybe that means a larger home to accommodate your growing family, a better neighborhood with a more desirable school district, or downsizing to a smaller home with a mountain or waterfront view.

It’s almost officially summer, and here at Adair Homes summer is one of our favorite seasons. Why? Because summer is the perfect time to visit one of our custom home Open House events! We’re kicking off this summer with June Open House events throughout Washington and Oregon.

When we started our first Building 101 workshops as a way for people to learn how to build a custom home we knew they would be popular. But we had no idea that almost every workshop would be so popular that they would be filled up within hours and we would have to turn people away. But that’s exactly what’s happening at many of the Building 101 workshops that we’ve been hosting at Sales Centers around the Pacific Northwest.

Adair Homes offers a range of free custom home building workshops through Idaho, Washington and Oregon. These workshops are the perfect opportunity for you to learn just how easy and affordable it can be to build a custom home in just about any size, shape and layout you want.
