What does the current housing market look like?

“What we’ve seen over the last couple of years is obviously during a pandemic, we saw prices rise because everyone came here [Coeur d’Alene]. But now we’ve seen prices get back to normal. Not dive sharply down, but stabilize. They are at a much more normal appreciation rate.” Keith Wells of our team recently told KREM2 news.

According to the KREM2 report, prices stabilizing is the consensus across the board for the Spokane/Coeur d’Alene region. For home buyers, that breaks down to:

  • A median home price of $415,000 in Spokane and $515,000 in Coeur d’Alene
    • With a conventional home loan at 7% interest and a 5% downpayment, that means you would need to make
      • $74,400 – $91,200/year to afford a home
  • Home prices are not expected to jump up drastically, and most homes are going for around asking price instead of above like last year
  • Buyers have time to consider their options and find the home they truly want

But the numbers above assume a 7% interest rate on your loan. What if you could get a better rate?

For a limited time only, Architerra, through loanDepot, is offering a special 5.5% interest (5.625% APR)*, 30-year fixed interest rate loan OR $10,000 toward closing costs on our charming Cottages. We are also offering $15,000 towards closing OR a similar 5.5% fixed interest rate promotion on select move-in ready homes in both:

  • Our Parkllyn Estates neighborhood, which come with 1/4 acre lots and additional garages so you have plenty of room for all your toys and hobbies
  • Certain new builds in our Foxtail community which features a central park and close proximity to Treaty Rock elementary school

If you select one of the eligible homes and close by July 31st, you can lock in a great interest rate and get a beautiful, brand new home.

For additional details and specific homes this offer applies to, contact our new home consultants: [email protected] or 208-699-7101.

Architerra & Selkirk Construction Strategically Combining in 2023

January 10th, 2023 – Coeur d’Alene, ID – Architerra and Selkirk Construction have announced they will be strategically combining in 2023 to strengthen both organizations and provide more options to home buyers. By combining Selkirk’s expertise in the custom on-your-lot home building and Architerra’s regional reach as a leading developer of thoughtfully planned neighborhoods, home buyers will have expanded options to build the home of their dreams in our communities or on their own land.

Building and buying a home is a deeply personal journey and a one-size-fits-all approach leaves buyers to desire more. This partnership expands what’s possible for home buyers by adding flexibility for buyers to get a home that fits their unique preferences and meets the needs of their family and lifestyle. Home buyers will now have the flexibility to select from a wide array of professionally designed plans and customize their floor plans with popular structural options. From there, homebuyers can further personalize their home by selecting from premium products and stylish finishes that match their unique lifestyle and budget.

“Selkirk’s focus on providing the best home-buying experience and exceptional homes deeply aligns with Architerra’s belief that homes are the center of our lives and are Where Life Happens.” – says Lisa Briner, CFO of Architerra. “We are excited to combine the two companies’ expertise to continue bringing elevated home and neighborhood options to the Inland Northwest.”

“We are very excited about the opportunity to recognize and satisfy this much-needed sector of the market. We see this as a tremendous opportunity for home buyers moving forward. Traditionally, there are two options when building a home: A full custom experience, or a limited production experience with few choices. Although both experiences have their place, we know home buyers desire more.  Together, we can now offer home buyers an experience and a level of personalization that makes their home building journey engaging and enjoyable whether building on their own land or in one of our highly sought-after communities.” says Tyler Haug, Founder & CEO of Selkirk Construction.

If you are in the market for a new home and are ready to build a home that fits your lifestyle; now is the time! For more information on home building and buying opportunities, please reach out: 208-216-1701 or [email protected]

What Does This Mean for Selkirk Construction & Architerra?

Selkirk and Architerra have already been collaborating on several other projects, including the Parkllyn Estates. This and all existing projects and agreements under both companies will continue as previously planned with expanded resource pools as the two companies combine. Selkirk is moving from their current office location to the new combined office located at 1859 N Lakewood Dr Suite 200, Coeur d’Alene. The two companies will now offer home buyers a diverse array of home building and buying options that will fill a much-needed gap in our regional market.

Our Top 3 for 2023

Happy 2023! We hope you had a wonderful holiday season.

If you’re like us, you probably can’t believe it’s 2023 already. While the housing market took some wild turns in 2022 and everyone is busy speculating on what might happen in 2023, we are excited for what the future has in store. Why is that? We have several big projects and initiatives this year that we are passionate about. So, without further ado, here are our top three things Architerra is looking forward to in 2023!

One: The Enclave

We have a beautiful new community coming this year in the Enclave. This gated community will be next door to the Trails, and if you live in the area you will see that the first several homes have already started going up. The Enclave will offer pickleball courts, a community garden, biking paths that link into the areas extensive trail network, and upscale homes with features we can’t wait to unveil (hint: wolf appliances among other things)! We just got back these beautiful renderings of what you can expect the community to look like and couldn’t be more excited to see it come to fruition in 2023. You can learn more about this community here.

Two: Your Home, Your Way

It might be counterintuitive, but we actually think the market being slower is a great thing. Our buyers get more options and we get to have more fun personalizing homes! Both our Foxtail and Trails communities are offering the “Your Home, Your Way”  pre-sales program this year which allows buyers to select floor plans, interior decor options, upgrades and more. We know that buying a home is a deeply personal journey, and our in-house design team is ready to help you make your home perfect.

Carri Berglund leads the design team at Architerra and is ready to help you get your home, your way!

Three: The Parkllyn

Our Parkllyn development will really come into its own in 2023. This project actually consists of three projects in one: Echelon Village, our single family homes for lease, the Parkllyn Estates – homes perfect for those who need a little extra garage space, and the Parkllyn, which encompasses homes, two parks, and a system of walking paths!  With our Dig Park completed in 2022 and the Windmill marker installed in December, this community is really coming together in 2023!

 

Maintaining Communities: Brandon Collins Presenting at IDCAI

Architerra’s HOA Manager, Brandon Collins, will be a featured speaker at the Idaho Chapter of Community Associations Institute on October 26th, 2022. Brandon runs HOAM – the Home Owners Association for all of Architerra’s communities. He is an experienced expert with 8+ years running high-end HOA’s for managed communities.

Part of the Architerra Advantage is our deliberate focus on community aesthetics and amenities – both in initial design and as lasting assets that enhance where our home-owners live. High-quality fencing, manicured common areas, trails and playgrounds – all must be properly cultivated as neighborhoods mature.

Brandon will present strategies on how to maintain and update these amenities. If you manage a HOA, his specific strategies, experience, and advice in this arena are invaluable and we are excited to see him get the opportunity to share on the topic!

You can learn more about attending the event here.

 

The Architerra Advantage: Iconic Collection

Architerra’s homes include standard features considered upgrades by most builders. We take pride in a high level of finish that comes standard in every Architerra Home. Our Iconic Collection of homes features 9′ Ceilings, 8′ Doors, and oversized windows that invite the natural sunlight of Northern Idaho.

We are deliberate in our approach; we design and maintain communities for one primary reason – so you love where you live. Our homes are where life happens!

We want you to have a great first impression, so our thoughtfully designed details are found throughout each home. Modern craftsman touches like oversized kitchen islands, custom cabinets, and designer owner’s suites are perfect for relaxation and entertaining year around.

The spirit of the Pacific Northwest runs deep, and our homes are designed to maximize this lifestyle. Already fenced backyards provide a safe, private space for kids, pets, and activities. Covered back porches, oversized windows, and transitional doors to enable indoor/outdoor living are included in every home.

Below is a list of our Iconic Standard Features and some examples of our beautiful homes in Parkllyn Estates.

A man and a woman stand in front of a house holding a sign saying Markham Homes

JANUARY 2022 – Spokane, WA – Lakeside Companies has announced the acquisition of Markham Homes in late 2021. This acquisition will add to portfolio company Architerra’s reach as a home builder and community developer into Washington and Idaho.

Tour Our Model Homes

Buying a home is a big decision and can feel pretty high-stakes. It’s easy to get lost in the rabbit hole of online pictures, spec comparisons, and floor plan previews. It also hard to discern things like quality, durability, and how a space really feels. Pretty photos and good marketing can easily hide things like awkward spaces and sub-par craftsmanship. Plus, sometimes you just don’t know how you will feel about a space until you’re standing in it!

That’s why we offer model home tours. These actual, furnished homes not only showcase two of our most popular floor plans, but also give you a literal hands-on experience with the quality, design and feel of an Architerra home. You can see virtual tours and photos below of our model homes, but we love to see you in person too!  Schedule a tour here.

Echelon Village: Architerra’s First Leasing Community

Last year, Architerra Homes broke ground on ‘The Parkllyn,’ a community focused on beautiful, craftsman-style homes, green space, and outdoor living. Within the Parkllyn comes Architerra Home’s first rental community – Echelon Village.

Echelon Village is a new construction, single-family rental community. It will feature 58 homes in the first phase offering multiple layouts with different room and bathroom options. The first phase includes three unique designs.

The Cobalt is a single-story ranch-style home featuring 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It comes with a two-car attached garage and plenty of living space to enjoy your favorite activities – cooking great meals, hanging out with friends, or watching the game.

The Indigo is our 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom single-story home. Similar to The Cobalt, The Indigo offers a two-car garage. The kitchen and living space come with beautiful stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, and painted beach wood cabinets, all the makings of a beautiful living space.

Finally, there is the Admiral, our two-story offering. The Admiral is a 3 bed, 2.5 bath home that offers plenty of space for working from home to starting a family. Like our other offerings, 9-foot ceilings grace this home throughout the interior and are complimented by laminate wood flooring. There is a two-car garage and a front and rear entrance.

We built Echelon Village with tremendous attention to detail. Tile backsplashes adorn each kitchen, with beautiful countertops and stainless steel, Frigidaire appliances. We’re very excited to continue construction on Echelon Village and can’t wait to reveal what is coming in the future.

The Trails Development Brings Quality Family Homes to Coeur d’Alene, ID

Architerra has announced a new neighborhood, The Trails in Coeur d’Alene, ID. This new development aims to attract buyers with its high-quality new construction, spacious floor plans and base-price property amenities. Architerra, knew neighborhoods would be in high demand in this area. They are developing signature neighborhoods like The Trails to establish itself as the premier life-style architecture company and home builder for the Coeur d’Alene region.

“Architerra made a conscious decision to be a high quality homebuilder in Coeur d’Alene and make it affordable for most people,” said Keith Wells, Realtor for Century 21 Beutler & Associates and the listing agent for The Trails.

Turning off Atlas Road and driving west on Hanley Avenue past the Hawk’s Nest neighborhood, visitors of The Trails will first encounter welcoming signage, new trees and expansive green space. Building is well underway on several homes, and a few completed homes provide visual confirmation of the quality construction.

Three model homes are available for viewing, with varied details and amenities that highlight pricing options for the buyer. One model has no upgrades so visitors can see the exact amenities that come with base pricing, while the other two showcase levels of upgrades and available customization options.

Base pricing gets you quite a bit in The Trails. Standard options include minimum 8-foot door frames and 9-foot ceilings with many vaulted ceiling designs, front and rear landscaping, rear fencing, sprinkler system, air conditioning, fireplace, crawl space construction, Hardie siding and upgraded lines for fixtures and appliances.

“We want the house and the neighborhood to feel very communal right out of the box,” Wells said. “A home is a big investment, it’s a big decision, we want them to feel comfortable.”

Prices range from $300,000 to $400,000 depending on floor plan and square footage. There are numerous home plans, including rancher style homes ranging from 1,500 square feet to 2,500 square feet, multi-story plans with main floor master bedrooms, and multi-story homes with all bedrooms upstairs and floor plans upward of 3,200 square feet.

A major appeal of new construction of The Trails in Coeur d’Alene, ID is the opportunity to make some modifications to the plans.

“At the end of the day the house belongs to the client,” Wells said. “We can rearrange a bathroom or push a closet or find ways to make the space more functional. This is your house. We want you to feel comfortable. Where they say, ‘I don’t have to learn to love this place, I love it right now.’”

The Prairie Trail cuts through the middle of the property, and bicyclists will love the trail’s easy link to the Centennial Trail. Wells said Architerra has made it a priority to invest in the neighborhood’s outdoor appeal, with a focus on spacious green space, lush plant and tree life, and numerous walking and biking paths.

An expansive community park is planned, and Wells said Architerra will focus on completing phases before breaking ground on new ones, which means buyers won’t have to worry about an endless stream of construction in their backyard. HOA dues in the Trails are $30/month.

Across all phases, The Trails will eventually stretch from Carrington Lane at the far northeast of the development and west along N. Huetter Road, with a total of 470 home sites. Architerra is committed to a pace of 40-48 homes per year, Wells said.

The public is welcome to visit the Trails and tour available models, including the NIBCA Parade of Homes multi-award winning home, The Shasta. Architerra was awarded Best Master Suite, Best Craftsmanship, Best Kitchen and the Distinguished Builder Award.

“This was my first Parade of Homes, and it was a great experience,” said Nichol Johnson, a Realtor with Century 21 Beutler & Associates and representative for The Trails. “We’ve had a lot of people come back or bring family to come out and see it.”
