Vegas Wasn't a Bust for the International Builders’ Show 2004

This year’s International Builder Show – sponsored by the National Association of Homebuilders – brought a record number of attendees to Las Vegas (104,627 attendees to be exact). This show is the place where builders go to see and be seen. More than 1,600 manufacturers and suppliers filled the exhibit halls with new products, methods and materials. Press conferences and educational seminars covered topics ranging from economic forecasts, to smart growth, to business management, trends and other housing issues.   

One much touted highlight of the show was the New American Home 2004. This home features the latest in trends and technology that today’s buyers are looking for. The new home is built with an open, loft-type plan, which is seen as a popular trend by buyers seeking flexible interior space. Energy efficiency is a high priority in the New American Home – this home will use 46% less energy for space heating and cooling, hot water and lighting than the standard home. Other features include: a copper shingled roof that reflects hot Vegas sun and structural insulated panels under the copper shingles that offer superior insulation and ventilation. The New American Home 2004 covers 5,180 square feet and is selling for $1.3 million.

Keynote speaker for the show, former president George H. W. Bush, summed up the event by acknowledging that, “the housing industry has always been in the forefront of market recovery.”
