To help address the loss of Iowa City housing stock in the 2008 floods, the City of Iowa City has received funding approval from the state for the second round of the Single Family New Construction Unit Production Program that will build 37 new homes by builders. The Iowa Department of Economic Development will be the one that will provide the fund for the program.

The new homes will consist of single-family detached homes, townhouses, duplexes, zero-lot lines and condos, which will be constructed in different areas across the City. In 2009, in the first part of the program, 40 new homes were built.

Qualifying applicants must satisfy income guidelines, qualify for a mortgage, and work with a local lender who is collaborating in the program. New homes will be purchased from $125,000 to $180,000, and a 25 percent down payment assistance program will be available as well.

Eligible applicants will receive down payments in the form of a five-year forgivable loan. This simply means that homeowners that will stay in the home for five years will not be required to repay the down payment amount. New homes construction will start this summer.

The City will repeat the same selection process implemented last year, because there are probably to be more applications than available new homes by builders Iowa. The first priority will be the flood-impacted families, followed by first-time homebuyers, and lastly, residents of Johnson County. To determine the order in which applicants will make their selections, a random drawing of names within each group will be held.

While laminate flooring isn’t really wood flooring, it has a striking similarity to real wood. Another thing is that it is most less expensive than real hardwood, and is highly resilient and resistant to abrasions. That is why it is gaining popularity for use in new homes by builders.

Engineered wood, also called composite wood, is composed of two layers of different material. An upper layer of wood veneer is overlaid upon plywood to give the appearance of solid flooring. Since it is manmade, it is stronger than original wood and less prone to humidity warping. Its drawback is that you cannot sand out its damage, and it also has the tendency to absorb liquids when not treated with sealant.

Solid Hardwood flooring is the real hardwood flooring; it should not be used on damp rooms such as bathrooms. The real advantage of using this in new homes by builders is its longevity – as it can be re-sanded and resealed numerous times.

Asphalt – These roofs comes in many colors, are versatile, and is considered the norm in almost every region in the country

Wood shakes and shingles – usually made of cedar, this material was commonly used on old houses. It will give your builder home an attractive and rustic appearance and it is also a natural insulator. These past decades it became out of favor as a fire hazard, although it is starting to regain popular use again as synthetic wood shingles. These synthetic ones offer the same look of wood as the natural one but without the fire hazard.

Clay tile – this material is commonly used in Spanish and Italian design.

Slate – unless your home is a genuine antique home and want to use the original material as much as possible, you are much better off using more lightweight composites made of stone and concrete.

Fiber cement – this material is durable and is available in many colors to choose from. It is a good roofing material in homes that are near the ocean because it withstands salt air and wind but it is heavy and might be difficult to repair.

Other things to consider are longevity and ease of installation. Some roofs are lightweight easy to install and repair like asphalt and wood while others are durable and lasts for many years like clay tile and slate which lasts for up to 50 years although the might be heave and a bit difficult to install. Balance these factors carefully in choosing the roofing materials that you will use in your new builder home.
