The CRBRA Best in Building Awards is the Capital Region’s premier award program recognizing creativity, ingenuity and advancement in residential building. Through the Best in Building Awards competition, CRBRA builder, remodeler and industry-related associate members enter their best projects from kitchens and baths to floor plan and home features.

Best New Single-Family Home


124 State Street captures all the Victorian elegance found on North Broadway in Saratoga. The new home has 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths with the master suite on the 1st floor. The Victorian style is incorporated through a multitude of textures and a variety of massive, decorative, windows. A small turret combined with a generous wrap around porch adds to the Victorian charm. 


When entering the home, the grand circular staircase makes a great first impression. A formal study, just off the foyer, boasts rich wood cabinetry and matching stained beams on a vaulted ceiling. The natural flow of the home leads into a large great room with an enormous floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace that extends through the house. The two-story, gourmet kitchen elaborates the Victorian style with a full brick wall, arched window, a coffered ceiling with tin panels and a decorative copper hood. An oversized working island with decorative legs, has ample seating for four.


A formal dining room, open to the kitchen, enjoys lots of natural light from large windows and displays a beautiful wood, cathedral ceiling. 


The master suite features a custom-designed, Victorian detailed ceiling, truly spacious walk-in closet and large master bath. The bathroom features two separate vanities built from walnut wood, charming windows and a luxury walk-in shower.


Upstairs, the balcony offers views of the gourmet kitchen and the foyer as well as leads to a special seating area with a baby grand piano. Three additional bedrooms and two full baths finish the second floor.

Best New Multi-Family Project


The Regatta View Carriage Homes are the last phase of our popular and exclusive lakeside community where Saratoga Lake and Fish Creek join. Walking distance to Fish Creek with access to Saratoga Lake, Regatta View features 24 Carriage Homes. 


When designing Regatta View, our goal was to build charming townhomes in the final phase of this exclusive neighborhood to blend in seamlessly with the existing homes. In order to achieve that goal, we designed each carriage home to mirror a large, single-family home with attractive Craftsman elevations including accents porches, large columns, vertical siding, cultured stone and a single front entrance. 


Unlike typical townhomes, the carriage homes in Regatta View are all premium end units which means each home features windows on three sides providing maximum opportunities for natural light and ventilation. Each home has its own private two-car garage and enjoys the convenience of  maintenance free living. A variety of master down and ranch floor plans offer plenty of choices appealing to both downsizers and those looking to purchase a 2nd home. 


A part of the Regatta View HOA, these homes enjoy access to green space, a walking trail that leads to Saratoga Lake and a private beach with storage for canoes and kayaks. A boat marina is close by and offers boat docks for rent to residents.

Now that it’s September, all eyes are on the Federal Reserve (the Fed). The overwhelming expectation is that they’ll cut the Federal Funds Rate at their upcoming meeting, driven primarily by recent signs that inflation is cooling , and the job market is slowing down . Mark Zandi, Chief Economist at Moody’s Analytics, said : “They’re ready to cut, just as long as we don’t get an inflation surprise between now and September, which we won’t.” But what does this mean for the housing market, and more importantly, for you as a potential homebuyer or seller? Why a Federal Funds Rate Cut Matters The Federal Funds Rate is one of the key factors that influences mortgage rates – things like the economy, geopolitical uncertainty, and more also have an impact. When the Fed cuts the Federal Funds Rate, it signals what’s happening in the broader economy, and mortgage rates tend to respond. While a single rate cut might not lead to a dramatic drop in mortgage rates, it could contribute to the gradual decline that’s already happening. As Mike Fratantoni, Chief Economist at the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), points out : “Once the Fed kicks off a rate-cutting cycle, we do expect that mortgage rates will move somewhat lower.” And any upcoming Federal Funds Rate cut likely won’t be a one-time event. Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), says : “Generally, the rate-cutting cycle is not one-and-done. Six to eight rounds of rate cuts all through 2025 look likely.” The Projected Impact on Mortgage Rates Here’s what experts in the industry project for mortgage rates through 2025. One contributing factor to this ongoing gradual decline is the anticipated cuts from the Fed. The graph below shows the latest forecasts from F annie Ma e , MBA , NAR , and Wells Fargo (see graph below):

Being a part of the Sandwich Generation comes with its challenges – but it also might come with one truly great perk. If you’re looking to buy a home, your caregiving situation can actually make it a bit easier for you to afford a home. And building a new home makes it easier to personalize the floor plan to fit your unique needs

Retirement is a time for relaxation, adventure, and enjoying the things you love. As you imagine this exciting new chapter in your life, it's important to think about whether your current home still fits your needs. If it's too big, too costly, or just not convenient anymore, downsizing might help you make the most of your retirement years. To find out if a smaller, more manageable home might be the perfect fit for your new lifestyle, ask yourself these questions: Do the original reasons I bought my current house still stand, or have my needs changed since then? Do I really need and want the space I have right now, or could somewhere smaller be a better fit? What are my housing expenses right now, and how much do I want to try to save by downsizing? If you answered yes to any of these, consider the benefits that come with downsizing.

When you’re planning a move, it’s normal to wonder where you’ll end up and what your future home is going to look like. Maybe you’ve got a specific picture of that house in your mind. But unless you came into this process knowing you want to buy a newly built home, you may not have pictured new home construction. These two reasons may make you want to reconsider that. 1. Adding Newly Built Homes Could Give You More Options There are two types of homes on the market: new and existing. A newly built home refers to a house that was just built or is under construction. An existing home is one a previous homeowner has already lived in. Right now, the inventory of existing homes is tight. But there may be options for you on the new home side of things. Data from the Census and the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows that newly built homes are a bigger part of today’s housing inventory than the norm (see graph below):
