Greetings and thanks for reading my blog posts.
1st info is the deal with $25k incentives from the builder.
The $25k can be used anyway that you would like (sorry, mortgage company will not let you get cash back to buy a car!)- A pool on the other hand will probably be ok though! The most common use of the incentives would be to pay for your closing costs and to take the remainder from the price of the home.
Please note that using a buyer's agent is never a cost to the buyer. The builders (or sellers) pay all commissions.
Please note: These homes are spec homes. They are completed or within a month of completion. They have great included features like
Energy Star Certified
Post Tension Foundations
Superior Insulation / Radiant Barrier
Energy-efficient Roof System
Color Thru Concrete Roof Tile
Tankless Water Heater
Dual Flush Toilets
Low-E Dual Pane Vinyl Frame Windows
Oversized Master Suites
Raised Master Vanity
Nine Foot Interior Ceilings
Dual Flush Toilets
18” x 18” Floor Tile at Entry, Kitchen,
Dining, Baths and Laundry
Maple Cabinets with Hardware
Spacious Covered Patio
Here is a list of the available homes! Please note that with some of the list SOLAR is included (partially prepaid lease)
Here is a picture of the 1st home on the list $187,170- 25k incentives=$162,170
Call or text me @602.206.9644 we can meet at my office and hit the model this afternoon!
As a Maricopa Realtor I have sold many homes from builders. Most of those transactions were when there were A LOT of builders here! At one point in 2006-2008, I would estimate 20-25 builders with 100 or so different floor plans!
After the real estate bubble burst popped, we were left with just a small handful of builders, those planning on staying sold their model homes and built new, smaller, more cost effective models to handle the change in the market.
I generally classify the homes that the builders produce as either "new builds" or "spec homes".
A spec home can be either a home the builder has started with no specific buyer in mind and has chosen very neutral and common upgrades and wants to sell the home with what they have chosen for a discount. Another type of spec home may have started as a new build where the buyer chose the lot and upgrades. The home was started and during the building process the buyer either changed their mind or was unable to qualify for the home. The house now has to be sold with the choices/combinations and colors the past buyer has chosen.
A New build is when the buyer walks into the office and has a floor plan built on a lot of their choice. They will generally go to the builder's showroom to pick out the interior amenities like granite/tile/cabinets/plumbing/electrical hardware. The buyer will be able to customize their new home as much as they want and the builder will allow. Large changes like extra rooms and extra sq footage won't happen as the builder may not want to deal with the extra paperwork and permitting.
Have a great week. May your bank account be full and your spam folder empty.
