GRAND RAPIDS—Eastbrook Homes, an established homebuilder and developer, announces West Hamptons, in Forest Hills Northern schools, is now sold out. "We never doubted the success of West Hamptons. But it is rare to sell over 67 homes in one community given the market conditions "said Bob Sorensen of Eastbrook Homes
Eastbrook Homes attributes the rapid sales pace, to the proper price, features and location new home buyers are searching for. Throughout the industry, Eastbrook Homes is known for a timeless variety of architectural style and the ability for every buyer to personalize their own home.
"In addition, Eastbrook has built all the new homes to meet E3-Eastbrook Energy Efficiency & State of Michigan requirements, giving home buyers significant energy savings, efficiency and greater lifetime value," Sorensen added.
Since its beginning as Eastbrook Builders in 1967, Eastbrook Homes has redefined the role of a residential builder. The company has an ongoing commitment to building homes with outstanding design, exceptional craftsmanship, unmatched value, and award winning customer service. Among Eastbrook's 22 developments in West Michigan are Bailey's Grove, The Preserve at Arbor Hills, Cook's Crossing and many others shown at www.eastbrookhomes.com. Eastbrook also has residential developments in the Lansing, Michigan and Auburn, Alabama.

Eastbrook Homes, an established West Michigan homebuilder, knows the signs are favorable for a significant rebound in the housing market for 2012. The company's vice president of marketing, Bob Sorensen, also knows first-time buyers want more style and features in their homes than ever before. "Younger homebuyers aren't satisfied with four walls and a garage," he says. "They want their home to have the architectural flair and unique touches that express their personal taste and active lifestyle."

While Eastbrook designs and builds homes in price ranges from $140,000 to $750,000, it makes a priority of adding as much "style" to its entry-level homes as it does to its higher end offerings. "We put a lot more thought into home design than other companies because we don't believe in cheap, little cracker boxes. Throughout the industry, we're known for a rich variety of architectural style and individual nuance in each home," Sorensen adds.

Eastbrook's design efforts for homes up to $150,000 have been noticed and rewarded by the Grand Rapids Homebuilders Association. In its recent 2012 Spring Parade of Homes, Eastbrook received an Award of Excellence for Best Affordable Home (the Alcott), the model for which is located at Cook's Crossing in Byron Center. The company also received an Award of Excellence for Best Curb Appeal for a home (the Mayfair), located at Carlisle Crossings in Byron Center. The awards are judged by a panel of industry experts and sponsored by Cosmopolitan Home Magazine.
