Miranda Homes Uses Game Changing Technology

Miranda Homes poured the foundation today on what promises to be a game-changer in the housing market. This foundation is just the beginning of a development of highly energy efficient homes being built in Clackamas this summer.

Not only are the homes highly energy efficient, they are being built to be affordable. Owner, Rob Boydstun, said,”We have developed methods and materials that allow us to create comfortable, attractive homes that are environmentally conscious and that are priced competitively with traditionally built homes.” Their methods and materials also allow Miranda to deliver completed homes fewer than 60 days from ground breaking.

Energy efficiency for this home has been projected at up to 50% over a traditionally built home of the same floor plan.

Larry Quilliam of Windermere Realty was on site for the pour. According to Larry, new homes built in 2009 in the Portland, Milwaukie, Clackamas, Oregon City and Lake Oswego areas total 255 (price range between $200,000 and $500,000), but only 99 actually exist or are under construction. “Citing data from the RMLS”, Larry said, “99 homes represent only 1.1% of the market. It is hard for those people who want to see something new in that price range to find a house to look at today.”

Energy Efficient Homes

The home started today has already been sold. Two more homes using different plans will start within 30 days. Miranda Homes will be building a total of 50 homes in the development which will be available starting in mid September.
