Record low rates means big savings

-

Increases in the bond market over the last few weeks have caused mortgage interest rates to drop to the lowest level in recorded history, creating the possibilit­y for huge savings for new homebuyers who lock in rates now!

A great example of these savings can be found at Heirloom in the Warm Springs area of south Fremont, an enclave of 17 semicustom homes on a single secluded street, by renowned local builder Robson Homes. Homebuyers at newly opened Heirloom can already find the lowestpric­ed brand-new two-story homes in all of Fremont, but thanks to plummeting interest

rates, they can now realize thousands of dollars of additional savings each month off their mortgage payment. That’s correct — interest rates have dropped more than

28% in the last month, providing incredible values for buyers who move fast.

Take for example The Sunita plan on Lot 2 at Heirloom, just released and priced at $2,158,000. Add to this value the 2.5% special 10-year fixed

financing available through Robson Homes’ approved lender for qualified buyers with excellent credit and a 25% down payment, and the value becomes extraordin­ary. At the beginning of the year, buyers would have paid 3.75% or more for this type of loan, and the difference in monthly payments is stunning: At the 3.75% rate, the monthly payment would be $7,495 a month. Using the special Robson financing program at 2.5% fixed for 10 years, the monthly payment drops to $6,395 a month — a savings of $1,100 a month. Over the 10-year life of the loan, this amounts to

a staggering savings of $132,000.

However, this kind of savings is only important if the home is a great home, and great value, to begin with, and that’s exactly what you have with Heirloom. The 2,601-squarefoot Sunita plan, like all the homes at Heirloom, features four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms in a traditiona­l two-story design.

Downstairs is a beautiful formal living room, plus a kitchen/nook/family room in a great room configurat­ion, as well as a downstairs bedroom with its own private en suite bathroom. Upstairs

is a master bedroom and luxurious master bathroom, plus a huge walk-in closet, two additional secondary bedrooms, another full bathroom, a tech loft, and a large laundry room. The welldesign­ed home truly has everything today’s buyer is looking for.

And not just inside, but outside as well, as this home offers a recessed, but attached, two-car garage with extra-long driveway, and private backyard.

Already the lowest-priced new single-family home in Fremont, record low financing makes this home a truly incredible value, and a place to grow lasting memories for your family. Imagine living

in a quiet residentia­l neighborho­od, but just minutes to freeways, shopping, the airport, and employment centers like Google and Apple.

Come tour the beautiful Heirloom model home and ask the sales representa­tive Roya about this and numerous other financing programs. Whether you want an incredible rate, or a low-money-down program, the builders’ approved lenders have a special finance package to meet your needs — but hurry, as low interest rates and these 17 beautiful homes won’t last forever.
