D.R. Horton – ranked number one on Builder Magazine’s ‘Builder 100’ for 12 years in a row – knows from experience how to deliver great homes in an area with high demand, such as homebuyers in Denver and Boulder face this spring. “We’re telling buyers to stop looking for homes and start living,” said D.R. Horton’s Liz Sleeman, showing off a choice of homes ready now at Sunwest North in a Boulder County section of Erie – a short walk from Red Hawk Elementary School, ranked 8-for-10 stars at GreatSchools.org.
That invitation has extra meaning near Boulder, where Realtors report that hard-to-find resale homes are creating bidding wars, often for places that end up needing a lot of work to meet buyers’ expectations. “Our buyers tell us they know they get more value from a new home,” Sleeman adds. “If we had built more homes here last year, we’re confident that we would have sold more homes.” As a result, D.R. Horton worked through the winter to bring a selection of its most popular plans toward completion now, when the market hits its seasonal high. At Sunwest North, where homes don’t stay on the market long, you can find a choice of ranch, main-floor master, and family-sized 2-story homes ready now – all with some premium options included that families typically want when they buy: hardwood floors in the kitchen, nook and entry areas, slab granite counters, a full appliance package, and full-yard landscaping with irrigation and surrounding fencing. Those ready homes include an Evergreen plan – including four bedrooms, over 2,050 square feet of finished space plus basement and 2-½ car garage at 870 Sumner Way in Erie, priced at $438,533. Also, a Prairie 2-bedroom ranch, almost 1,800 square feet, at $441,591. Prices like that are going to look good to anyone who’s shopped resale homes without these features in surrounding areas of Boulder County. Meanwhile, Sunwest North is only 15 minutes from Boulder’s high-tech campuses along Foothills Parkway and the Diagonal, plus within a mile of Erie Community Center and a High Plains Library, plus a growing choice of dining, including in Erie’s historic downtown. You can tour both a ranch and a roomy 2-story model and see very creative uses of space and you can explore possibilities for getting a finished basement or even a 4-car garage on a home to order. Buy now and close, and D.R. Horton will give you $5,000 to spend your way.* To reach Sunwest North, take I-25 north past 470 to Exit 229/ Hwy 7; head west to County Line Rd., north to Erie Pkwy, west to Meller, turn right to models.
