Ready to score a great deal in today’s competitive real estate market? Consider closeout communities, where limited numbers of move-in-ready homes and lots are still available as builders like ICI Homes wind down their work there.
The key is flexibility.
It’s your superpower in a closeout scenario. If you’re not under significant time constraints — moving for family, work, or personal deadlines, for example — you’ll have more options. Flexibility gives you the choice to build from scratch or score a move-in-ready home.
It’s also handy when considering remaining inventory. So predetermine your must-haves and doesn’t-matters. Do you want to live near the amenity center? Can a cul-de-sac lot work for your household? Is a three-vehicle garage a deal-breaker?
There are advantages to closeout scenarios too.
Scoring one of your builder’s final move-in-ready homes that’s still under construction may give you the opportunity to chose some of its design elements if it’s early enough in the process (ask your ICI Homes sales associate). And, buying a street’s final lot or move-in-ready home allows you to meet new neighbors way ahead of time.
Below are more advantages of buying in closeout communities.
Construction winding down
It’s a noisy, necessary endeavor, even as it produces wonderful new communities. Not everyone loves it living in its midst, but closeout buyers won’t deal with much of it, for very long.
You won’t have to plop a lawn chair in a kiddie pool and wait on the real thing!
The community’s resort-style swimming pool(s), Residents Club and many other A+ perks like fitness centers, playgrounds, sports courts and walking paths, already exist.
Attractive pricing and incentives
Plainly speaking, any builder wants to move inventory. None want remaining lots and move-in-ready homes languishing in a closeout community.
So, most are motivated to incentivize potential closeout customers in the current high-demand, low-supply residential market. Flexible buyers will find great deals and opportunities they might not find in younger communities under construction.
Expect — and ask about — competitive pricing, possible additional incentives such as help paying closing costs, or interest-rate buy-downs for your new custom Florida home.
Model homes too!
Who wouldn’t want a professionally designed and decorated showcase home ready to go?
Probably a lot of you!
This occurs in closeout communities where the model homes are among the final, remaining inventory. Builders need to sell these homes too, and often do so at significant savings for buyers.
Don’t delay if you discover a model for sale on ICI Homes’ website or while visiting a closeout community. Our online and community sales associates will be glad to answer questions.
