Getting your player ready...
Sometime today, while you’re exploring older neighborhoods in search of some kind of deal on a resale house, Oakwood Homes wants you to stop by Green Valley Ranch for a slice of pizza, to show you something that’ll give you a new way of looking at this market. “People are telling us that there’s just not much out there now; that they’re getting outbid on old houses that have so much wrong with them,” says Oakwood’s Alisa Poncher.
At Green Valley Ranch, off the first exit from Peña Boulevard on the way to DIA, you can tour a ‘Vail’ 4-bedroom model with a base price of $300,800 – a figure that won’t sound out of line to buyers combing Park Hill or Mayfair or Highlands for a home now. It delivers 4,017 square feet of finished space – about $74-per-square-foot – a figure that’s going to make your jaw drop when you run the size-value comparisons on the old bungalows you’ve been touring. And that, says Oakwood’s Mark Windemuller, is before you see the luxury features that come included with the Vail and other Colorado Collection homes: not just a 2-car attached garage, but a gourmet kitchen with big eat-in center island in granite tile; wood-laminate floors, and a spa-type master bath with sexy shower and rain heads. Oakwood designed the entire collection around ‘smart spaces’ where you can choose how you want your space used; or you can take advantage of options to add even more space on the bedroom level for a loft or a fifth or even a sixth bedroom.“Building makes more sense in this market,” Windemuller adds. “Rather than settle for a used home with potential problems, you can have luxury that you can afford.” Without being outbid by anybody, you can get Oakwood going on a personalized Vail or a Telluride ranch (the two top-sellers) either near the models or by Green Valley Ranch Golf Club. Or you ask Windemuller or Elise Hatfield to see a few homes that’ll deliver soon, including an ‘Avon’ (same as a model you’ll tour) near the golf course. It faces a park, has a basement, a 3-sided fireplace dividing the master from a ‘retreat,’ and engineered hardwood floors spanning the main floor. Its 2,645 square feet are $320,000. And that’s not counting the Energy Star 3.0 design, verified by an independent rater (Oakwood guarantees energy bills for the first two years of ownership); or the 20 final golf-front lots you can tour. “You’re not going to find a better golf value anywhere,” says Windemuller. Ask about a special big-value gift you’ll get with any of these homes you purchase now. Take the DIA freeway to E. 48th/Green Valley Ranch Blvd. and head east a half mile to Walden.
