New Priorities Emerge as Buyers Focus on Quality of Life
With most of us spending more time at home than ever before, a recent study from Realtor.com showed that consumers now put the quality of life factors at the top of their home shopping priority list. A quiet neighborhood or property was buyers’ number one priority, followed by outdoor space, including a patio or yard. A nicer kitchen and appliances for cooking more at home followed closely after, along with home offices.
The home has become even more of a hub as American homes become our workplaces, gyms, classrooms, and more. And now that a fully remote life is possible, many are leaving cities en masse to focus on the things that matter most to them, like being close to the outdoors, finding a new pace of life, and spending quality time with loved ones.
Buyers are finding a perfect match for these priorities at Tehaleh, Washington’s best-selling new home community. The community offers more than 50 floor plans with features like chef’s kitchens with stainless steel appliances, covered patios with fireplaces, yards, and dedicated office spaces to maximize work-from-home comfort and productivity.
“In Tehaleh, buyers get much more home for their value compared to Seattle, and have access to 1,800 acres dedicated to parks, trails and open space,” says Scott Jones, Senior Vice President, Operations for Newland. “This includes more than 28 miles of trails where buyers can quickly find fresh air and a new pace of life: hectic afternoon commutes turn into adventures with the family on the trails, runners exchange the treadmill for sunshine, fresh air and scenery, and some trails conveniently lead right to coffee and snacks at the on-site café, Caffé D’arte.”
Tehaleh also offers a lively collection of 12 parks designed for every speed and pastime. Pups play off-leash at the Hounds Hollow dog park, teens ride the ramps at The Edge skate park, and those looking for a little peace and quiet enjoy the gardens and scenic landscapes at Reflection Park, full of birds and wildlife.
Buyers interested in finding a home that complements a close proximity to the outdoors will love features like covered front porches that keep the family dry on rainy days, or provide a perch to sip coffee, read a book outside, and wave to neighbors passing by on walks around the neighborhood.
Prices at Tehaleh start in the low $300Ks and extend to the mid $900Ks for homes that range from 1,342 to 3,912 square feet, all from a lineup of award-winning builders including Azure Northwest Homes, Brookstone Homes, HC Homes, Lennar, MainVue Homes, Noffke Homes, Richmond American Homes, and the 55-plus active-adult community, Trilogy® at Tehaleh®.
With a range of floor plans available to choose from, as well as rich amenities bringing the outdoors closer to home, Tehaleh makes it easy to settle into remote living and a new pace of life. Make an appointment today to discover the magic of Tehaleh.
