2021 and Beyond: Insights with Justin Shear

January 6, 2021

Justin Shear, Vice President, Sales, talks about the challenges and success of the company in 2021, and shares his insights into 2021 and the years ahead.

Looking back on 2020, what have been the biggest challenges and accomplishments for Trinity Homes?

The biggest challenge was certainly the rising cost of lumber and the shortage of both labor and material which was a result of COVID. That challenge has made setting expectations for build times nearly impossible and building costs have been soaring which has led to higher pricing for consumers.

On the bright side, Trinity’s biggest accomplishment was having a year-over-year sales increase of 200%! I am shocked that we were able to accomplish such a strong year during a global pandemic but we did it!

What do you see happening in the construction housing marketing in Columbus this year?

As the COVID vaccine slowly works its way through Central Ohio I expect the strong housing market to continue into 2021. The Federal Reserve has already said they plan to keep interest rates low so buyers should strongly consider buying before that changes.

What are you most excited about for Trinity as you look to 2021?

Continued success! With lots available and existing inventory remaining low it will be a strong year for Trinity Homes, and I can’t wait! We also hope to continue saving the lives of shelter dogs through the work of Gigi’s. Each day our operation grows and we have recently added a behavioral and parvo center to our facilities. Location: 1641 Somerford Drive Galena, Ohio 43021

What can we expect to see from Trinity in 2021?

Expect to see new floor plans and many of our newer communities get off of the ground! We are opening a new model in Howard Farms and have already started seeing strong sales in the community. Our condo projects in Dublin and Grove City are going to sell very well as customers start to see the quality and value in both places.

Where do you see Trinity Homes 5-10 years from now?

As a local home builder, we hope to continue to build high-quality custom homes while also focusing on our efforts with Gigi’s to save as many shelter dogs as we can. We will continue to give back to the community that has treated us so well over the years. Our values are larger than dollars and cents, it is about making a real difference.

Financial Benefits of Buying a Home

July 24, 2025

Buying a home in Central Ohio is a major financial decision and long-term commitment, but it also offers significant financial advantages. Whether you're selecting one of our flexible floor plans or choosing a move-in ready home , homeownership provides value that grows over time. Predictable Monthly Payments One of the most valuable financial benefits of homeownership is stability. With a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, your monthly housing payment remains consistent, helping you avoid unpredictable rent increases. This reliability makes it easier to plan ahead and stay on track financially. Build Equity and Grow Wealth Instead of paying rent without return, your monthly mortgage payments contribute to something you own. With every payment, you increase your ownership stake in the property and build equity. Over time, this equity can fund a renovation, support another investment, or contribute to long-term financial stability. Plan Ahead with Flexible Floor Plans Choosing a semi-custom home means designing your space to meet current and future needs. Trinity Homes offers open-concept layouts, adaptable bonus spaces, and smart square footage that grows with your lifestyle. Planning ahead can help reduce the need for costly renovations or future moves. Explore our flexible floor plans Long-Term Value and Home Appreciation A home is one of your most important financial assets. Properties often appreciate in value, particularly in well-planned communities with quality schools and amenities. By staying in your home long-term, you increase your chances of benefiting from home appreciation and growing your net worth. Save with Move-In Ready Options If you're looking to move quickly, a move-in ready home can be a financially smart choice. Trinity Homes often offers reduced pricing, included upgrades, or assistance with closing costs on inventory homes. Enjoy a brand-new space with modern features and minimal repair expenses. Browse move-in ready homes Frequently Asked Questions Q: What are the financial advantages of buying a home over renting? A: Homeownership lets you build equity, benefit from property appreciation, and enjoy stable monthly payments, unlike renting where payments offer no long-term return. Q: Are semi-custom homes more expensive? A: Semi-custom homes can offer more long-term value by reducing renovation costs and better meeting your family’s evolving needs. Q: How quickly can I move into a Trinity Homes property? A: Our move-in ready homes are available for quick occupancy, often with added savings or included upgrades. If you're considering buying a home, Trinity Homes offers options designed to support both your lifestyle and your long-term financial goals.
