The stunning country club community of Eagle Creek in Southeast Orlando provides the ideal back drop for three very special Show Homes sponsored by Builder Magazine and constructed by Centerline Homes for the 2012 International Builders Show.

Known as Home For All Ages, each of three homes has been designed to appeal to families at various points in their lives. The Generation Y Home and baby Boomer Home have been designed by the Woodley Architectural Group of Denver, while the third home, designed for Generation X buyers is the creation of Canin Associates of Orlando.

Each of the homes showcase many unique and exciting features as well as living spaces that are ideal for residents at these various points of their lives. Additionally, major suppliers will be debuting their latest products, colors and finishes. All in all, these homes will be the greatest show in town – which is saying something when you consider Orlando’s many world-renowned attractions.

Stay tuned for additional information about the opening of these residential masterpieces, scheduled for early 2012.

Incredible Statistics of Homeownership vs. Renting

Recent research from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) outlines the importance of homeownership's
relationship with the economy, but of the social benefits it provides.

NAR reports, "The economic benefits of the housing market and homeownership are immense and well documented.
The housing sector directly accounted for approximately 14 percent of total economic activity in 2009."

What sorts of social benefits are provided through homeownership?

According to the study entitled, "Effects of Homeownership on Children: The Role of Neighborhood Characteristics
and Family Income", teens from households of homeownership have a higher rate of staying in school than teens from
rental households. In addition, daughters of homeowners also experience a lower rate of teen pregnancy.

In terms of education, in the study, “Measuring the Benefits of Homeowning: Effects on Children,” there have been
significant findings that homeownership has a strong positive effect on educational achievement.

The NAR report goes even further to show that "the average child of homeowners is significantly more likely to
achieve a higher level of education and, thereby, a higher level of earnings."

Homeowners deal daily with issues pertaining to home maintenance and financial responsibility, something NAR
research shows teaches children "life management skills."

Studies have also found that homeownership increases the amount of civic participation in a community. This is due
in part to homeowners feeling that they have a higher, more permanent stake in their community and its issues.

In addition to these great social benefits, higher levels of homeownership have shown to reduce crime rates in
communities. "Homeowners have a lot more to lose financially than do renters. Property crimes directly result in
financial losses to the victim. Furthermore, violent non-property crimes can impact the property values of the
whole neighborhood. Therefore, homeowners have more incentive to deter crime by forming and implementing voluntary
crime prevention programs." (NAR)
