NAHB now accepting applications for 2013 Best of 50+ Housing Awards

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) 50+ Housing Council is now accepting applications for the 2013 Best of 50+ Housing Awards, which honor excellence in building, design, marketing and lifestyle of housing for boomers and beyond. A panel of industry professionals will judge entries in a total of 44 award categories, including "Best 50+ Integration of Aging-in-Place Technology and Design," "Best 50+ Mixed-Use Community On the Boards," "Best 50+ Integrated Marketing Strategy or Campaign" and "Best 50+ Fitness & Wellness Program," among others.

"The Best of 50+ Housing Awards are this industry's most influential national awards," said 50+ Housing Council Chairman W. Don Whyte. "The demand for 50+ housing will continue to grow as the baby boomer generation--the largest growing group of buyers that we have ever seen in this age group--approaches retirement, and these awards honor those builders and developers who truly have the needs and wants of the mature buyer and renter in mind."
