As the temperatures rise, homebuyers are prioritizing comfort, efficiency, and livability when searching for a new home. At Conner Homes, our commitment to thoughtful design and quality ensures every home is built with real life in mind—especially during the summer season.

If you’re in the market for a new construction home this summer, here are the top summer-ready features that make a difference.

1. Energy-Efficient Windows and Insulation

Summers in the Pacific Northwest can still bring the heat. All Conner Homes are built with high-performance windows and enhanced insulation to help reduce heat transfer, keeping your home cooler while lowering energy bills. It’s comfort you can feel—and savings that last.

2. Smart Thermostats for Heating & Cooling

Our homes feature smart home technology, including programmable thermostats that adapt to your lifestyle. Efficient climate control keeps your home cool when you need it, without wasting energy when you don’t.

3. Covered Outdoor Living Spaces

Conner Homes prioritizes outdoor living by offering covered patios, decks, and thoughtfully placed windows to extend your living space outdoors. Enjoy fresh air, summer barbecues, or evening relaxation—all in the comfort of your own backyard.

4. Functional Mudrooms & Drop Zones

From beach outings to backyard gardening, summer can be messy. Our floorplans include dedicated mudrooms and drop zones to keep everyday clutter organized and entryways clean.
