Top Ten Best-Selling House Plans of 2018

Published at May 24 2024 by JFord

The birds are chirping, the weathers warming up and the sounds of lawn mowers and weed whackers fill the air of the nation’s neighborhoods. It’s spring and that means that it’s time to get out side. It’s time to plant the garden, get the lawn under control and build a house. Well, that escalated quickly.


Featured plan is The Andrew (NDG 1400).

Spring is the busiest time of year for builders and the companies that support them. The lumber yards are hustling and bustling. The concrete companies are putting miles and miles on their trucks. And here at Nelson Design Group, it’s no different. This is like the weeks before Christmas for companies like us.

So I got to thinking, what have been our best-selling plans in the last year? I cornered one of our sales representatives and got the info. Here are our Top Ten Best Selling Plans of 2018:
