Brookfield Homes in San Diego Posts Record-Breaking Sales in July

San Diego, CA, August 05, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Brookfield has reported 19 gross sales in San Diego in one month, its strongest sales month since Aug 2009. According to Lora Heramb, vice president of sales and marketing for Brookfield Homes, there are several key factors at play.

“Brookfield Homes is assisting buyers with the purchase of a new home by paying closing costs and providing funds to upgrade flooring,” said Heramb. “Buyers who qualify for a VA loan get the added advantage of Brookfield Homes helping them pay off their debt.

“With low interest rates holding, we’re seeing more consumers with the confidence to buy a new home. Most of our buyers tell us they feel that they’re getting a great deal on the most important purchase of their lifetime.”

According to Heramb, one outcome of this recession is the return to the true values of home ownership.

“Our buyers are no longer caught up in the real estate frenzy, but are focused on the inherent value of a new home,” she said. “Here’s where they’ll be raising their families and creating a lifetime of memories. It’s gratifying to see so many people finding a Brookfield home that fits their long-term needs at price they can afford.”
