Lennar Has Slashed Prices At All Communities Throughout The Las Vegas Valley

Lennar — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:00:46 +0000

Laguna Plan

Lennar has recently reduced prices at all communities throughout the Las Vegas Valley. In addition to the federal tax credits, these price reductions compliment low interest rates to create one of the best times to buy in recent history.

“We have over 50 inventory homes available for immediate move-in,” stated Roger Seaholm, Director of Sales for Lennar Las Vegas. “We have lowered prices on all inventory homes and across all communities in time for customers to take advantage of the federal tax credit that expires soon.”

“We believe we’re offering homebuyers our very best selection of homes at the best possible value,” said Nick Parks, Director of Marketing for Lennar Las Vegas. “When you combine aggressive prices with record-low interest rates and the federal tax credit, it packs a compelling punch.”

With special financing through UAMC, Lennar’s preferred lender, combined with the homebuyer federal tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time homebuyers and up to $6,500 for existing homeowners, there has been a measurable increase in activity at all actively selling Lennar new home communities. Buyers can still get the tax credit if they have owned and lived in their current home for five consecutive years. Homebuyers should also know that tax credits are subject to eligibility requirements; therefore they should consult with their tax advisor as tax laws are subject to change.

“The homes available for immediate move-in are in the best locations and on some of the best home sites,” said Seaholm. “Lennar makes most upgrades standard so there is no need to pay thousands in extra upgrade costs.”

Lennar offers 21 distinct communities to choose from throughout the greater Las Vegas area, including communities in Mountain’s Edge, Providence, North Las Vegas, and Henderson. Prices start in the $130,000’s and floor plan styles range from approximately 1,286 to 5,078 square feet of living space.

Community hours this weekend are Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For a complete list of communities in Las Vegas, call (877) 204-4411 or visit Lennar.com.

Lennar Opens 28 New Central Florida Communities and Adds 45 Jobs on the Momentum of the High-Speed Rail Initiative

Lennar — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 14:00:50 +0000

The federal government’s pledge to spend $1.25 billion to jump-start Florida’s high-speed rail project linking Orlando and Tampa could prove a major boost to the homebuilding industry and help bring back lost jobs, says one of Florida’s largest homebuilders.

Lennar’s Central Florida Division, which builds new single-family homes and town homes priced from the $90s to the $400s in more than 30 Lennar communities in Central Florida, announced it plans to open 28 new communities and add 45 new jobs in the Tampa and Orlando regions.
Lennar has contracted to purchase more than 500 homesites in eighteen new communities in the Orlando Region and more than 200 homesites in ten new communities in the Tampa Region. Prices will range from the $130s to $400s.

Mark Metheny, president of Lennar’s Central Florida Division, said Lennar expects to emerge from the recession as the dominant homebuilder in the Central Florida region.

“I’m not sure most people understand what a huge beneficial impact the high-speed rail project will have on the Tampa-Orlando corridor,” said Metheny. “Thinking of it as a novelty is like thinking of Disney as an amusement park. Over the next 20 years, high-speed rail will generate major new economic development that will vastly improve the choices of Central Florida residents. Lennar plans to provide the best choices in lifestyles, communities and new homes.”

Metheny said Lennar has been planning its Central Florida expansion for more than a year.

“We have been carefully monitoring economic conditions and the timing of this announcement is no accident,” said Metheny. “The residential real estate market was on the forefront of the economic downturn. Likewise, homebuilding will be one of the first industries to experience recovery and we are seeing those positive indicators now. Lennar is very bullish on Central Florida.”

Lennar’s Phoenix Lone Mountain Grand Opening Draws 1,500 Over Two Days

Lennar — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 14:00:06 +0000

Lone Mountain Model

Lennar’s Phoenix Lone Mountain community opened its doors to the public last week, attracting 1,500 people to the model homes in the first two days alone. The picturesque new master planned community, located near 60th Street and Lone Mountain in the Phoenix northeast valley, is the first new master plan to open in the metro area in several years.

“We knew Lennar had a unique offering in today’s environment. The response from our grand opening celebration has proven agents and potential buyers will certainly consider the possibility of making Lone Mountain home,” said Alan Jones, president of Lennar’s Arizona Division.

Lone Mountain offers sweeping vistas of the high Sonoran desert and mountains, as well as city lights. It has been called one of the most scenic new communities to be built in the Valley in the last decade. Anticipated amenities include trails, parks with playfields, playgrounds, desert gardens, a picnic ramada, and a basketball court. An estimated 300 acres in the community will remain natural area open space.

Trees Friend of HomeSmart was the buyer’s agent on one of the transactions that weekend. “I live near Lone Mountain and have been watching the progress for the last several years with great intrigue. A client was interested in investment properties and I knew that Lennar might consider the sale and lease-back of their models. My client purchased the largest model home and couldn’t be more pleased,” said Friend.

“We had several sales the weekend of the event and we have several more that will be finalized in the coming week,” said Mike Dowell, Lennar’s vice president of sales and marketing.

The one and two story homes range in size from 2,878 square feet to 3,811 square feet and are priced from the mid-$400’s. Lennar and Pulte are jointly developing the 600-acre property, which was purchased at a state trust land sale in 2000. All homesites in the cactus-studded community back up to open space as the property has many interesting washes that create natural are open space. Schools, shopping and worship sites are conveniently located near the community.

Building industry insider Lynn Palmer attended the Lone Mountain grand opening and was amazed at the traffic. “I thought the models looked great and the location is terrific. Lennar hit a home run. Based on the number of people at the opening, this is a good sign the real estate industry is coming back to life,” said Palmer who co-owns the Renewal Zone, an on-line real estate school and real estate consulting business.

“It’s great to see home builders unveiling new models and the public responding in such a positive manner,” said Dennis Sage, owner of Dennis Sage Home Entertainment, a company that provides audio and visual upgrades for new homes. “This could be an indicator that consumer confidence has returned,” he noted.

Lennar was founded in 1954 and is one of the nation’s leading builders of homes for people of all ages. The company has been building in Arizona for more than 45 years and owns considerable land holdings in the state.

Lennar New Jersey Giving Buyers Reasons To Fall In Love This Month With A New Home At Cedar Point And Creek Run

Lennar — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 14:00:52 +0000

Cedar Point

Lennar is wooing homebuyers this month to Cedar Point at Mays Landing and Creek Run at Woolwich, two family-oriented single-family home communities in charming Southern New Jersey locations.

One of the most tempting carrots Lennar is dangling is the near completion of inventory homes which will allow buyers who purchase by April 30th to close on their homes by June 30th and take advantage of the expanded Federal Tax Credit before it expires.

“That’s an opportunity to enjoy up to $8,000 in savings for buyers who qualify,” notes Don Bompensa, President of Lennar’s New Jersey Division. “We’ll also begin reducing our incentives at these communities in the coming weeks, so there clearly are significant benefits to buyers who act now.”

Lennar’s unparalleled “Everything’s Included” platform is also enticing buyers who recognize the extraordinary value and convenience associated with having the national homebuilder’s most popular upgrades and features already included in the purchase price.

However, monetary motivations aren’t the only reasons to fall in love with these premier communities as both offer expansive home designs, sprawling homesites and desirable small-town settings that are ideal for growing families.

In Atlantic County’s Mays Landing, Cedar Point features 173 single-family homes on premium wooded homesites up to two acres located near the Hamilton Mall. The community’s four-bedroom residences are priced from the upper-$200,000s — the best value in Mays Landing. The community’s four-bedroom residences offer stylish interior details including nine-foot first floor ceilings, direct-vent fireplaces in the family room, wall-to-wall upgraded plush carpeting, hardwood flooring in the two-story entry foyer and kitchen, and ceramic tile floors in the master bath.

The community continues to attract scores of buyers from northern locations who are astounded at how much home they can get for their purchasing dollar.

“Homebuyers from areas like Monmouth and Middlesex Counties are more than willing to relocate to Exit 38 on the Garden State Parkway to get a beautiful, four-bedroom single-family home on an oversized lot priced from the upper-$200,000s,” Mr. Bompensa points out.

“They also cherish the Atlantic County location’s relaxed shore-town lifestyle that is convenient to the Garden State Parkway and Atlantic City Expressway, yet is great for boating, hiking and camping enthusiasts, particularly at the nearby Lake Lenape Park and Gaskill Park.”

In Woolwich, just 30-40 minutes from Wilmington and Philadelphia, Creek Run offers two-story single-family homes ranging from 2,070 to 3,719 square feet of living space, sprawling homesites from one-plus acres and pricing starting from just the upper-$200s.

All of the homes at Creek Run feature a wide variety of designer finishes and upgrades at no extra cost. Found throughout the four-bedroom homes are such standard features as two-car garages, two-story entry foyers, nine-foot first-floor ceilings, and designer kitchens with 42” cabinets and granite countertops. Well-appointed secondary baths boast decorator vanity cabinets with cultured marble countertops, while luxurious master bedroom suites feature raised ceiling heights and luxurious master baths with separate Roman-style platform tubs and glass shower enclosures.

The community’s country village setting characterized by boutique shops, arts, crafts & festivals and proximity to Wilmington and Philadelphia — just 30 to 40 minutes away — only add to the enormous appeal of the intimate new residential enclave.

“Homes of this caliber in this type of location at these prices simply didn’t exist until recently,” Mr. Bompensa points out. “These are historic times creating remarkable opportunities, and buyers are responding.”

Much of Woolwich’s appeal stems from its unique ability to offer the advantages and amenities of a cosmopolitan environment while providing an expansive country setting.
