Pulte has reinstated its “no worries” sale and is offering an additional $8,000 off from September 12th through September 30th. Pulte has brand new homes starting in the 100,000’s. There are several communities across the valley offering quick move-in homes for sale and builder closeouts. Here are just a few of the Pulte communities with brand new homes available:

• Flagstone Ranch 2 move in ready homes
• Azure Canyon in Mountains Edge
• Flagstone Manor
• The Club at Madiera Canyon
• The Gallery at Stallion Mountain

Not to be outdone, Lennar is also having a sales event this weekend touting 15 homes under $190,000. One of the conditions is that these homes must close on or before November 30. Lennar will also pay all closing costs, has special financing available and homes include free upgrades.

When it comes to internet marketing, Lennar is leading the pack. We get several updates a week from Lennar giving details of their latest promotions, standing inventory and sales. No one else comes close to the frequency and deals that Lennar offers on a continuous basis.

If you are a frequent reader of this blog, you’ll be aware of Lennar’s stance on the REO market. Foreclosures have caused new home builders a lot of sleepless nights. Falling prices, massive inventory and the overhaul sluggishness of the market has forced a lot of new home builders to slash prices and boost incentives.

Currently Lennar is offering to pay all closing costs and has special financing available. Here are a few of the Lennar new homes available:

Del Webb’s Hometown Heroes Incentive ends at the end of this month. If you haven’t heard about it, Hometown Heroes is a  special incentive to all current military and veterans, along with Clark County School District teachers, firefighters, police officers, nurses and EMTs. As a qualifying professional, you get an additional 1% off the sales price towards any Del Webb home in the Las Vegas valley. In order to get the additional discount, you have to be employed in the above professions and have the voucher (I can provide you one) to present to the sales office.

As far as specials go, I think Del Webb could learn a thing or two from Lennar. For over the past several months, Lennar has been waging its own battle against the massive foreclosure market. Here is a quote from their latest mass email:

Short Sales & Foreclosures Just Don’t Measure Up! BUYING NEW DOES!

Short sales and foreclosures can cost you more than a new home because of hidden problems. Also, you can wait months only to find out someone else got the home.

Lennar does make a good point. Home buyers are finding out the hard way that short sales are not what they are cracked up to be. Only roughly 10% of the short sale property listed will actually close. Those are pretty low odds, even for Las Vegas! So instead you look at REO (real estate owned, aka foreclosures) and make an offer on one of those. Instead of a smooth 30 day (or less) close time, you might find yourself waiting 45 days or longer, required to have repairs made to property  in order for you to buy it and a slew of other issues.  So Lennar is banking on the frustrated home buyer that they’ll turn to looking at a brand new home instead, even if it is priced a little higher than a comparable foreclosure property.

Lennar is also offering zero closing costs and special Interest rates of 4.25% (4.7567% APR) fixed for life (on certain properties that close before 8/16 and other restrictions apply (of course)).

This week Lennar is pushing its inventory of homes with pool sized lots. Unless you are prepared to spend upwards of half a million, most new homes don’t have a large yard. There a few exceptions to the rule of course, but if you have been actively looking at only new homes you’ll find most of them have small yards. The explanation for this is simple: you have to factor in the original cost of the land. Back when these home builders were buying up parcels of land from the BLM four or five years ago, it was very, very expensive. So to be able to make a profit, builders had to squeeze more homes on an acre.

One of the exceptions can be found in the city of Henderson. Lennar is offering to pay all closing costs, 4.5% fixed rate loan (4.9913% APR) if you elect to finance through them and all homes are completely upgraded with granite counters, blinds, stainless steel appliances and the energy efficiency package.  Here are just a few homes for sale:

Anthem
3181 Sq Ft (5 Bed, 3 Bath, 3 Car)
$335,990

Henderson
3100 Sq Ft (5 Bed, 3 Bath, 3 Car)
$303,990

Lennar isn’t the only builder having a sale. Del Webb is offering 50% off home site premiums at the Club at Madiera Canyon for the month of July. Homes start in the $420’s and there are 10 models available to tour.  The community is gated and located directly across from the newly opened Madiera Canyon park. If you would like to tour any of these homes, please call 702-493-8033 or send me an email using our form. Thanks for reading our Las Vegas real estate blog.

This weekend marks the end of the Pulte No Payments til 2010 sale in the valley. If you have ever toured a Pulte home, you understand why they are one of my favorite builders. Recently Pulte had lowered their prices in most of their Las Vegas and Henderson communities. If you were waiting to buy a Pulte home, there truly hasn’t been a better time to do so. In addition, Pulte Homes is offering some additional buyer incentives including zero closing costs, free GE appliances and great financing options.

Currently there are 11 Pulte communities with homes on sale. If you would like to tour any of these communities, feel free to contact me at 702-493-8033 or send us an email using the form below.

This weekend Del Webb is having a Green Building Open House at the Club at Madiera Canyon community in partnership with NV Energy. There will be green vendors along with light refreshments provided by Whole Foods. The expo is open to the public and is being held in the recreation multi-purpose room from 10 am to 11:30 am this Saturday.

Despite falling prices, high inventory levels and continued foreclosures, new home builders are forging ahead for the most part. Some builders have cut back production, while only a few have stopped new construction entirely, waiting for inventory levels to drop and prices to edge back up. Richmond American has continued to finish projects started years ago.

Next weekend, June 20th will be the grand opening of two new Mountain’s Edge communities, Tuscany Hills and Tuscany Canyon. These gated communities offer a total of 8 two story floor plans. Plans will offer ground floor bedrooms, set-back driveways and covered patios. Light refreshments will be served and attendees can enter to win a $200 Pottery Barn gift card. There is an additional incentive being offered as well. Anyone that signs a contract by July 15th will receive a gourmet kitchen upgrade free.

If you would like to view the models, please call 702-493-8033 or send me an email using the below form. Thanks for visiting our Las Vegas homes blog.

You may be thinking big deal, there are hundreds if not thousands of homes on the Las Vegas MLS priced under $200,000. You would be correct, there is a huge amount of bank owned inventory priced below that. That being said, you probably would be hard pressed to find absolute move-in ready homes in that price range, especially ones that have not been lived in. And you won’t find any with the kind of warranty that Lennar provides. As part of their Big Spring Sales Event, Lennar is also offering zero closing costs, low interest rates and their peace of mind mortgage protection plan (of course certain restrictions apply). Here are a few of the properties available:
