On the hunt for a new home? It’s time to expand your search
The current state of the housing market shows that low interest rates combined with increased savings and a bolstering job market help make homeownership more accessible to a wider number of buyers.
This means homes are selling quickly and above asking prices as homebuyers scramble to submit a winning bid. In what clearly has been a seller’s market, Lennar Corp. offers advice to prospective homebuyers to help them secure their dream home.
“The best advice that we can offer to homebuyers is to not pigeonhole themselves into a specific zip code when searching for a new home,” said Patrick O’Brien, director of sales of Lennar Philly Metro Division. “You can avoid paying a premium for homes simply by expanding home searches by a zip code. We have found buyers can save upwards of $200,000 on a new home by searching within a region instead of a single town.”
Lennar’s Meadows at Hillview community is a perfect example of this. Nestled in Coatesville just outside popular West Chester, Exton and Downingtown, the new home community offers single-story homes with full basements for active adults aged 55 and better at a fraction of the cost of homes in surrounding Chester County towns.
“We attribute the success at Meadows at Hillview to its desirable location, value-added homes and fantastic amenities,”
O’Brien said. “Meadows at Hillview is now in its final phase at the established Hillview community.”
Homes highlight two/ three bedrooms, two/ three baths, two-bay garages and up to 2,593 square feet of living space.
“Homes are also distinctively designed under Lennar’s Everything’s Included mantra, providing extensive structural and design features at no additional cost that are typically expensive options from other builders,” O’Brien said.
Residents at Meadows at Hillview can take advantage of complete and ready to enjoy resort style amenities including a billiard room, fitness center, ballroom, sports courts, swimming pools and so much more. The community also offers close proximity to Route 30, making it easy to get to shopping and dining in nearby Exton and Downingtown.
“As is the case with Meadows at Hillview, if you’re on the search for a new home, it is in your best interest to expand your geographic search,” O’Brien said. “An extra 10-15-minute drive will not only give you the home you’ve always wanted, but it could also save you thousands of dollars.”
Pricing for Meadows at Hillview is from the low $400,000s. Current HOA fees are $245. To learn more, call 610-606-1644 or visit LennarPA.com.
