Home Sells Quicker Than Expected? Range of Move-in Ready Homes Await in Several Neighborhoods at Mill Creek in Geneva - 13 Homes Available Within 3 Neighborhoods
Geneva, IL, February 15, 2013 --(PR.com)-- With leading market indicators showing that real estate sales are heating up, Shodeen Homes continues to cater to increased demand by doing what they have done all along: Offer a variety of move-in ready homes available for immediate to 90-day occupancy at Mill Creek, its master-planned golf course community in Geneva.
The latest housing numbers indicate that construction activity and home sales are finally on the rise. Additionally, recent data from the Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller index—widely regarded as the most reliable gauge of home values—reveal that 19 of 20 tracked cities posted year-over-year gains, including the Chicago market, and home prices rose 5.5 percent in November from a year earlier. That’s particularly good news if you’re looking to sell an existing home and move into a new construction residence ready for occupancy.
“With less competition in the resale market, many of our buyers are selling their resale properties much faster than they used to and are consequently needing quicker deliveries on their next homes, without having to seek interim housing,” said Nathan Amidon, Sales Director with Shodeen Homes. “At Mill Creek, we continue to construct and provide a healthy supply of fresh inventory homes available at various stages of delivery—from immediate to 90 days. This has proven to be a successful strategy for us the past several years.”
Amidon noted that many other builders are skittish about building inventory residences and taking on the risk that they could remain unsold for an extended length of time.
"Our blend of spec homes are very popular and tend to be claimed relatively quickly, so we keep replenishing supply and giving our customers a wide array to choose from,” he said. “Many of these homes are premium home sites with golf course views, lookout basements or cul de sac locations.”
Amidon said 13 single-family inventory homes are currently available within three different Mill Creek neighborhoods: Tanna, Oakmont and Pinehurst.
Tanna
At Tanna, buyers can select from seven homes available in six different floorplans, some move-in ready while others are available within 90 days, offering three to five bedrooms, two to three and one-half baths, and 2,000 to 2,783 square feet - priced from $369,732 to $418,958 (all prices subject to change without notice).
Oakmont
Within Oakmont, home hunters can choose from five different inventory homes (four floorplans featured) with a wait of no longer than 90 days. All of these homes include four to five bedrooms, two-and-a-half to three-and-three-quarter baths, and 2,798 to 3,322 square feet—priced from $409,023 to $499,900.
Pinehurst
In Pinehurst, one lucky buyer can claim a Danford II inventory home, scheduled for March move-in. This home is a brand new design with three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, upscale master suite, fireplace, open kitchen with granite countertops and ceramic tile, impressive golf course views, and 1,998 square feet. The Danford II is priced at $299,803.
Custom Homes Also Available
In addition, Shodeen’s Sjödin Custom Homes division is now able to build custom homes in three neighborhoods: Hillcrest, Inverness and Jordan—on some of the largest home sites in Mill Creek. These homes range in size from 2,688 to 4,076 square feet and are base priced from the mid- $500,000s. Sjodin Custom Homes are appointed with many luxury features, such as a three-car garage, brick exterior, granite countertops, custom cabinets, stainless steel Energy Star appliances, high-efficiency furnaces and water heaters, 6 panel solid core doors, upgraded trim package, all oak wood stair cases, architectural style roof shingles, and choice of ceramic tile or hardwood in foyers and kitchens and ceramic tile in all baths.
February Incentive
“As an added incentive, we’re offering an exciting promotion on any home we sell during February —50 percent off all options up to $20,000. Whatever option you desire—be it upgraded cabinetry, flooring or countertops; a luxury bath, even a vaulted or tray ceiling—can now be had for half the price,” said Amidon, who added that the discount is good only through February 28, 2013.
Mill Creek residents enjoy Mill Creek’s two premier golf courses providing breathtaking views at Tanna Golf Club and the Mill Creek Golf Course.
