With the U.S. housing market in its worst slump since 2001, one style of new home building is bucking the market trend. Sales are up for homes using natural elements in their construction. Natural Element Homes designed for homeowners across the country by Tennessee Log and Timber Homes increased by 108% over last year.
PR9.NET June 19, 2008 - ATHENS, TN - While homebuilders across the country are coping with stagnant inventories, Tennessee Log and Timber Homes Inc. has seen sales of its Natural Element Homes™ increase by 108% in the past year. The Athens, TN headquartered company is beating current economic housing trends by creating a custom style of home that resonates with Americans' desire to get closer to nature and incorporate natural materials into their daily lives.
The Natural Element Homes brand represented approximately $34 million dollars in completed construction costs for 2007 and spanned an area across the U.S. These homes combine custom "mountain" architectural design with unique natural building materials, such as stone, timber, bark, and wood to blend with the environment. They are engineered with innovative wood products that out-perform conventional materials. "We use cutting-edge construction methods to create these spectacular natural-style homes," said CEO Burton Webb. "These types of homes go along with the 'back to nature' lifestyle of living in a mountain resort area, and fit naturally into their location."
The Natural Element Home™ style obviously appeals to home buyers, as nationwide sales have increased significantly each year since they were introduced in 2005. "We are very proud of our performance; given this is one of the housing industry's toughest years -- certainly since we've been in business," said Webb.
