New Home Features


When you are shopping for a new home, be sure to compare features and benefits.  A good rule of thumb is to start with the lesser priced home and add the cost of upgrades you consider important and see if the cheaper price is still a bargain. 
Jebco Homes are built with quality materials and craftsmanship.  We believe you will be able to feel the difference simply by looking at our homes.  Notice the ceiling treatments, trim package, lighting fixtures, floorings, cabinetry and granite surfaces.  One huge upgrade that will not be obvious to you is our cabinetry.  Jebco uses all wood custom cabinetry in all of its' homes.  Most builders use stock cabinetry made with particleboard that is inferior to an all wood product.  If particleboard becomes saturated from water spills, etc. it will become swollen, lose its shape and most times have to be replaced.  The all wood cabinetry used by Jebco is extremely more durable.
Since we use custom cabinetry the cabinets are measured and made for each individual house.  This equates to a perfect fit with smooth opening drawers and doors along with a custom finish of your choosing.  The cabinetry in your home should last a lifetime, with a Jebco home it will.

A Buyer's Market



With high unemployment rates and the state of the economy in general, many potential homebuyers are just plain scared and who can blame them? The nervousness has caused many people who were thinking of buying a home to rent instead.

A recent article from Forbes lists several reasons to buy a house now. We are currently experiencing the lowest housing prices in years coupled with interest rates at a 50-year low. These two factors alone should encourage potential buyers to take the next step to homeownership. In addition to those facts, interest rates are expected to increase in the near future. This will make a mortgage more expensive, quickly adding a hundred dollars or more to the monthly payment with even a half-percent increase in the interest rate.

With so many homes on the market, there are deals to be found everywhere. Whether you are looking to buy a new home and reap the incentives many builders are currently offering or trying to get a steal on a foreclosure, the experts all agree that now is the time to buy.
