			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eight Homes has won two awards at the 2012 Master Builders Association of Victoria&#8217;s Excellence in Housing Awards on Friday night.

<strong>John Russell Road, Cranbourne West. Mel Ref 133 B5</strong></p>
<p>The signature kitchen in many ways defines the s-TWO. With its distinctive island bench and gourmet appliances, the kitchen acts as the focal point of the home, bringing drama and flair to the open living zones while maximising space and usability.</p>
<p>Although under 20sqm, you’ll be excused for thinking it’s twice that size. Comprising two spacious bedrooms, large Bathroom and a luxuriously appointed Master Bedroom with walk in robe and en-suite, the s-TWO is living proof that good things definitely come in small packages.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img title="ceo sleepout" src="http://www.8homes.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ceo-sleepout.jpg" alt="" width="312" height="395" />We are almost half way through 2012 and it has already been one of the most exciting times for Eight Homes!</p>
<p>I believe, however, that a company’s success isn’t just about the bottom line. A business has to have a social conscience to be truly part of the community. This is why this year I am proud to announce that I am rising to the challenge again for the Vinnies CEO Sleepout, taking place Thursday, June 21st.</p>
<p>If you haven’t heard about it, this event was created to raise funds and awareness for homeless people nation-wide by challenging business and community leaders to experience homelessness first-hand for just one night.</p>
<p>I participated last year and it was an eye-opening and humbling experience that I will never forget. Through your efforts and donations we managed to raise over $21,000. This assisted in accommodating a thousand people a night over the year and helped break personal cycles of poverty through education, recreation and referral programs.</p>
<p>Today, there are more than 100,000 Australians who sleep rough each night of the year. Just under half of these are women and a quarter of these are under the age of 18.  They don’t have any of the things we take for granted like a roof over their heads or a bed to keep them warm through a cold winter night.</p>
<p>So this year, I’m asking for your generosity. Out of my appreciation for your efforts and my personal belief in this fantastic cause, I will also be donating $300 from every Eight home sold between May 16th to June 21st. My aim is to beat last year’s figure and dig even deeper!</p>
<p>So let’s rise to the challenge and dig deep.</p>
<p>Your ongoing generosity and support will be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>To donate go to <a title="www.ceosleepout.org.au" href="http://www.ceosleepout.org.au/ceos/vic-ceos/profile/?ceo=1434" target="_blank">www.ceosleepout.org.au</a></p>
<p>Thank you,</p>
<p>Steve Maher<br />
Director</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the launch of www.8homes.com.au Melbourne homebuyers no longer have to visit a display centre to see the quality and value that is setting the market on its head. Once you have seen our value online we know you are going to want to grab the car keys and see for yourself how we do it.</p>
<p>The answer to how, is easy.</p>
<p>Instead of designing 80 plus homes we have picked only 8 single storey and 8 double storey designs to ensure you get the best. This means the best quality with the best options that we know from experience that most people want.</p>
<p>In other words, we make it easy for you to choose the best because all we offer is the best. This simplicity has another benefit. Because less of your money goes into our administration costs and more goes into the quality of your home, we offer value that you can’t get from a normal builder.</p>
<p>The other thing that makes Eight Homes stand out is our streamlined approval and building process which offers a site start within 8 weeks* and a build time of just 88 days^. This will save you money by cutting down the period where you have to pay rent.</p>
<p>Easy choices, guaranteed quality, competitive, no fuss finance and an 88 day^ build time all mean you can get into your dream home a lot sooner than you ever thought possible.</p>
<p>Which is why we say <strong>We make it easy</strong></p>
<p>*Site start subject to land title and finance availability. ˆConditions apply. Based on all single storey homes up to 25 squares.</p>
