Lennar ‘measures up’ for sales event

Homebuyers have until the end of July to take advantage of special interest rates being offered on new Lennar homes in the Las Vegas Valley.

During Lennar's "Measure Up" sales event today and Sunday, Universal American Mortgage Co., Lennar's preferred lender, will offer all qualified homebuyers seller paid closing costs and low interest rates fixed for the life of the loan on homes contracted before July 31, 2009.

"These interest rates won't last," said Lennar Las Vegas Division President Jeremy Parness. "When combined with special low prices on homes that may close fast, low interest rates equal low payments and unprecedented home ownership affordability.

"The interest rates that we offer through UAMC are darn-near unbeatable," Parness said. "We have always taken pride in UAMC's ability to make high quality, new home ownership attainable and affordable through lower interest rates."

Lennar's special limited-time offers can be combined with a federal tax credit for all homebuyers who haven't owned a home in the past three years, for up to an additional $8,000 in savings. According to the Internal Revenue Service Web site, irs.gov, tax credits applies to purchases that close before Dec. 1, 2009.

According to Parness, sales on new Lennar homes have increased substantially in the past few months.

Also, according to Parness, unlike previously owned properties, Lennar homebuyers are the first residents to move into their new home and are not plagued by any of the issues associated with bank-owned or resale properties.

All Lennar homes come equipped with brand-new flooring, new appliances and new cabinets.

"For a little bit more than the cost of a preowned home, homebuyers can have a brand-new, upscale home in a highly respectable community," said Roger Seaholm, director of sales for Lennar Las Vegas.

"Lennar saves homebuyers time, money and headaches by eliminating the need for upgrades and remodeling because we already include everything they need as standard. That's the Logic of Lennar."

Lennar offers homes starting in the high-$100,000s across 15 neighborhoods throughout the Las Vegas Valley. Many of Lennar's homes feature the most up-to-date amenities, including stainless steel appliances, granite slab countertops, walk-in closets, his and hers vanities and Roman-style spa tubs.
