Lemont, Ill. - Now is the time to buy a new home. Mortgage rates are low, new homes are being offered at attractive prices, tax credits/advantages are available, and one home builder is giving buyers every reason to say “Yes.” Gold Key winning builder, DONVEN Homes, is providing buyers with personalized timelines for closing and move-in, freezing prices now for purchase later, and offering a free, beautifully finished basement or a credit toward another option.
Real estate is currently bouncing along the bottom of the market and shows no signs of going down, but rather up in the future. That means now is the time to take advantage of all the benefits being offered in new construction before prices began to climb again. Not only do homeowners get the financial benefits of getting into a new home at low prices (off-setting any decrease in their current home sales), along with great mortgage rates (currently at around 4.5% percent) and tax credits/advantages, but they also get all the luxuries and money-saving benefits of owning a new home. Once the market regains momentum, new construction prices will increase very rapidly, offering new home buyers instant appreciation.
DONVEN’s Ashbury Woods and Woodglen communities, both in the charming town of Lemont, offer maintenance-free, luxury townhomes and duplex single-family style homes. These beautiful new homes include upscale amenities as standard features, and floor plans that live like a single-family home. Home buyers will also appreciate the energy efficient, maintenance-free construction that will save them money in energy costs and up-keep.
These are NOT ordinary subdivision communities, these well-priced residences are nestled in wooded locations with beautiful landscaping, upscale designer features, high-end materials and construction, and the excellent customer-service expected from DONVEN. Once buyers visit these award-winning communities they will want to own one of these stylish homes. They will really want to say “yes” to a DONVEN Home when they are offered flexible closing and move-in schedules; attractive prices; superior customer service; the highest-quality construction; and a Free, Finished Basement (or credit toward another option).
Buying a home is still a strong long-term investment of money and there are tax saving incentives in a new home. The first years of your mortgage offer you the biggest advantages on lowering your income tax fees. In most cases, all of the mortgage interest and property taxes you pay in a given year are deductable from your gross income to reduce your taxable income. So whether it is your first home, a transitional home, or your last home purchase, take advantage of these offers and enjoy owning a modern, maintenance-free home that doesn’t own you.
Buyers can gain the extra confidence needed for buying a home in today’s economy by purchasing their new home from a builder they can trust. DONVEN Homes has a solid reputation for being a leader in luxury home building. They are known for their distinctive architectural designs, spacious floor plans, high-quality construction, use of energy efficient products, and high customer satisfaction.
“Homebuyers have a unique opportunity in this market to get amazing bargains on their new home, and we want to work with them on an individual basis to make their move stress-free,” said Don Stevens, President of DONVEN Homes. “We want our customers to know that we aren’t going to rush them into moving. We will work with them every step of the way to get them into their very own upscale, maintenance-free new home that will give them peace of mind, energy savings, as well as a rapid price appreciation when the real estate market turns up.”
These homes offer floor plans that make living easy, including dens to serve as home offices, first-floor master suites, finished basements for extra storage and space, lofts, sun rooms and bedrooms for guests, along with plenty of room to entertain.
Both communities offer homeowners close proximity to shopping, dining, golf courses, the I-55 and I-355 expressways, including the new interchange on 127th St., and a Metra train station in downtown Lemont. Homeowner’s will have the ease and cost-effectiveness of a maintenance-free townhome in an upscale attractive community.
The Ashbury Woods community has five outstanding floor plans, including single-level ranch homes and two-story designs, two with first-floor master bedroom suites, ranging in size from 1,800 to 2,450 square feet. The homes feature 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms, 2-plus baths, dens, lofts, full basements, 2-car garages and all the upscale amenities to satisfy the most discerning homebuyer.
