Getting your player ready...
On a weekend when you have lots of other shopping to do, Oakwood Homes has bargains to browse in Green Valley Ranch today that may not be there after you take the tree back down. Affordably priced homes have sold so fast this year that Oakwood is coming into the holidays with its New Beginnings Series all but sold-out – but three homes can deliver before New Year’s; and you can tour two luxury series pre-sale priced from the $190s that could have you sitting pretty next year.
Oakwood’s team at the new Colorado Series models, across Green Valley Ranch Boulevard from Denver’s new DSST campus, has pizza out for your family today to get you to see the only new homes left in the community that can deliver anytime soon. One is a family-sized Franklin plan, three bedrooms including extra-large second bedroom; 2½ baths, almost 1,700 square feet, set for move in by Christmas Eve. It’s decked out with countertop, appliance and floor upgrades, on a site close to Green Valley Ranch Golf Club. The price is $233,870 – including Oakwood’s Energy Star 3.0 package, verified by an independent rater, so comprehensive your energy bills are guaranteed for two years. You can also tour Oakwood’s big Telluride ranch plan (it won the MAME Home of the Year award last month), one of three luxurious Colorado Series models; and you can see plans for a Gunnison ranch from the never-before-seen Park House Series of luxury designs. It’s sized at 2,100 square feet from only $209,000 – a pre-sale price that won’t be around after the first Park House models are finished. Even during the holidays, families looking for affordably priced homes need to watch the market carefully, says Oakwood’s Alisa Poncher. “Home inventory is lower in metro Denver than it’s been for a decade,” she adds. Meanwhile, interest rates are still rock-bottom; so low that even with prices rising, Oakwood can show you financing that, depending on your down, could have you living in Green Valley Ranch from around $1,100 a month. But you need a plan. If you’re already moved out or near-out of your older home, the quick deliveries (including two large Carson Collection homes) are rare opportunities. If you have time to plan a move, Oakwood can show you sites either near the golf course or the DSST school – and has a Holiday Shopping Spree special that gives you up to 12 points toward nice upgrades at no extra cost. Take DIA freeway to E. 48th/Green Valley Ranch Blvd and head east a half mile to the Colorado Series to start your tour. More models and home sites are further east – past Tower Road to Ceylon Street.
