Astoria Homes was the only developer or homebuilder among the finalists in the 1998 Electronic Media Awards hosted by Women In Communications on October 23, 1998 at the Treasure Island. While Astoria didn't take home the award, just being nominated was an honor unto itself.

Astoria Homes' nomination was for the KLAS coverage of their 1997 Homer Award "Home of the Year" Sunset design at Summer Heights. In response to winning the Homer Award, Astoria pitched the story to the local CBS affiliate in early 1998, when mortgage rates were at a then 'all-time low'. Reporter Anita Lightfoot toured the winning model for a morning newscast and interviewed Astoria Homes President Tom McCormick.
