Have you ever experienced your home like a cat?
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010
Okay, it sounds a bit strange, but bear with me. We recently bought a new piece of furniture and I was reminded about how differently animals perceive their surroundings.
Our cat cautiously approached the new piece of furniture, slowly walked around it, then under it before hopping onto it. (more…)

What’s New in Technology for Your Home?
Thursday, June 24th, 2010
A few weeks ago, we got to attend the Viking® Experience at The GSC. It was tremendous to check out all of the innovation in kitchen appliances. They have many distinct kitchens to show the array of design options available with Viking Appliances. I am still trying to pick my favorite kitchen. With over 23 color finishes to choose from, your can really customize your kitchen. Here’s a photo of the Viking® representative showing us the finish options:
They also showed us just how fast an Induction Cooktop can boil water, it is faster than fast. I just may convert to Induction from Gas in my next kitchen.
And, they offer Brunch dates for you to enjoy a product demonstration and a scrumptious brunch prepared by Kathryn, their culinary director. If you’re a SummerHill homebuyer, our design team can arrange a private appointment at the Viking® Experience at The GSC for you to learn about your new appliances available standard at Satake Estates and as options at some of our other communities.
Oh, there are a few more innovations in technology for your home that I couldn’t resist sharing…

Monday, May 24th, 2010
As a marketer with limited time, I want to be able to click of a button push all of our listings out to Trulia, Zillow, Google Base, and more.
New Home Feed launched about a month ago and I’ve been testing it in Beta. It sure is making it easier for me to update listings to all these sites, so that we’re sure that interested homebuyers are getting up to date information. (more…)

A Place to Call Home
Friday, May 21st, 2010
Home is where the heart is….
For some of us home is the place that we grew up, for others it is the home that we share with our significant other, spouse, children or parents as join into help raise children.
The place we call home is an important part of our lives.
At SummerHill, we build a variety of homes from townhome-style condominiums to single-family homes. Each of the homes we build shares a common denominator – flexibility! (more…)

New on the Peninsula? What does it mean?
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010
Turn-key is defined as a spec home ready for immediate move-in, which is much of the “new” on the Peninsula.
SummerHill’s homes are different. We build brand new from the foundation up.
Depending on when you purchase your home, you get to personalize your home to get more early in the construction of the home and a bit less if you purchase later in the construction of the home. (more…)
