Lennar offers move-in ready homes

Lennar has several move-in ready homes available that will meet the tax credit deadline at several of its new-home neighborhoods in the Las Vegas Valley.

"After several weeks of consistent sales, we are down to just 29 homes that may close in time to take advantage of the federal tax credit," said Jeremy Parness, Lennar Las Vegas division president.

"It's really the final stretch of the perfect race to buy a new home: Low interest rates, historically low prices and the final days of the federal first-time buyer tax credit."

The first-time home buyer federal tax credit of up to $8,000 is available to customers who haven't owned a home in the past three years. However, the federal tax credit has only been approved for homes that close by Nov. 30 according to the Internal Revenue Service Web site, irs.gov.

According to Nick Parks, director of marketing at Lennar Las Vegas, Lennar is offering an added guarantee to all new homebuyers who purchase today through Nov. 15. Lennar will guarantee that selected homes will close by the end of November (in time to take advantage of the tax credit) or Lennar will compensate the customer in the form of an extra $8,000 price reduction.

"If a customer buys a home on our list of available November homes and it fails to close due to a construction-related issue, we will compensate the customer with an extra $8,000 price reduction," Parks said.

"We are so certain that we will complete the home in time to take advantage of the tax credit that we are putting an $8,000 guarantee behind it."

According to Parks, Lennar is offering homebuyers with their best selection of homes, low interest rates, upgraded features and reduced prices.

"We only have a few homes available to close before the end of November and time is running out to get the year-end deals," said Roger Seaholm, director of sales for Lennar Las Vegas. "It is truly the time to take advantage of these exceptional offers before an increasing number of homebuyers join the market and the incentives and selections start to diminish."

Lennar offers 21 communities throughout the Las Vegas Valley, including Providence, Anthem, North Las Vegas, and Henderson. Prices start in the upper $100,000s and floor plans range from 1,286 to 5,078 square feet.

Celebrating its 55th anniversary, Lennar has grown to become one of the nation's leading homebuilders.

Community hours this weekend are today and Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For a complete list of communities, call 877-204-4411 or visit lennar.com.
