Bigger Plans, Bigger Lots, Bigger Bonus


Contrary to the last few years, we at Coleman Homes have noticed a growing trend with our buyers in that they are purchasing larger homes on larger lots and requesting increased room.

Currently, our most popular line of bigger homes offered is the Woodland collection. The most favored plans range anywhere from 1,900 square feet up to almost 4,000 square feet and can offer up to 7 bed rooms and 4 bathrooms.

Coleman Homes buyers over the last few years not only prefer more bedrooms and baths but also require bonus rooms on their wish lists. We have found that offering the bonus room option is becoming a must for sales. In the past, we offered smaller plans that did not feature a bonus room option. Once this option was added, the plans started selling much faster.

This year, our buyers are increasingly building on bigger lots. Coleman Homes recently unveiled two new communities that can offer up to a ½ acre of lot space. We were surprised to see the sweeping popularity of these bigger lots and the sales have been fast and furious!

One of our bigger plans, The Mathison, will be unveiled this year with our upcoming Countryside collection. This home is amazing with up to 30 possible options for more space, storage, bathrooms, and of course a bonus room!
