Harmony reports hike in 2012 sales

Harmony Homes President Robert Beville said the locally owned and operated builder is enjoying its best sales year ever.

"We offer the best possible value to our buyers, and our homes are unlike any other production homes on the market, with open floor plans and dramatic great rooms," he said. "This year we've seen high demand and low inventory drive the local housing market. Buyers are enjoying this opportunity to purchase new homes at great prices, and they are excited about the floor plans we've introduced at Aspire."

The newest Harmony Homes community, Aspire at Mountain's Edge, is expected be one of its most popular, he added.

The gated community in the southwest part of Las Vegas offers three floor plans, including one single-story plan, ranging from 2,973 to 4,160 square feet. Homes at Aspire include three-car garages and an option for as many as six bedrooms, and prices start in the low $300,000s.

Beville said several of Harmony Homes' communities that were expected to have homes for sale into 2013 have already sold out.

The three floor plans available at Aspire all feature kitchens with oversized islands, as well as oversized master bedrooms and master closets and ample backyards, he said.

The single-story floor plan includes an oversized master closet that is connected to the home's laundry room and a den that can be converted into an additional bedroom with its own bath.

"The 3,576-square-foot floor plan at Aspire is based on a model that was very popular in our Prominence community at Aliante, and we wanted to make it available to buyers looking for a new home in the southwest part of the valley," Beville said.

"One thing that buyers should keep in mind is that local home prices have started to go up, so the time to buy is now."

Aspire is adjacent to Exploration Park, the largest park in Mountain's Edge and near Nathaniel Jones Park.

Exploration Park includes children's play areas, a splash pad, picnic areas and an outdoor amphitheater.

Nathaniel Jones Park also features child play areas and a splash pad, as well as lighted basketball courts.

In early December, Harmony Homes is expected to celebrate the grand opening of a second Mountain's Edge community, Serenada.

This community also will offer three floor plans, ranging from 2,151 to 2,636 square feet and with prices starting in the low $200,000s.

Standard features will include granite kitchen countertops and paver driveways. Additionally, master bedrooms include two full closets.

In January, Harmony Homes is expected to celebrate the grand opening of Aviano in Henderson. The gated community features a community pool and a park.

Mountain's Edge is at the intersection of Buffalo Drive and Blue Diamond Road.

To visit, take the southern Las Vegas Beltway to Buffalo and head south to Blue Diamond Road. Or, take Interstate 15 to the Blue Diamond exit and travel west to Mountain's Edge.
