Despite ongoing concerns over coronavirus, buyers who have been waiting for a chance to get into single-family homes have been out shopping from the moment the state lifted the ban on model showings, according to KB Home—with single-family plans from the $415s at Copperleaf in Southeast Aurora.
“We began seeing very serious buyers as soon as the stay-at-home was removed,” says Randy Carpenter, Division President at KB Home Colorado.
“They’re telling us they’ve put their older homes on the market, and that those sell quickly,” he adds. “They’re saying they want a clean, new home that hasn’t been lived in before, and they’re showing confidence in the market.”
At Copperleaf, the $415s can get you into an Energy Star-rated single-family ranch with an unfinished basement, in an attractive master-planned community with a pool and trails, and thatap served by Cherry Creek Schools. There’s a Cherry Creek elementary school right in the community.
The interest rates waiting right now have a lot to do with that demand, says Carpenter. “Buyers are finding 30-year rates ranging from 3.4 percent to as low as 2.75%,” he adds. “That makes a huge difference in what it costs to own a home. Itap like getting the rate on a 30-year loan that you’d expect to pay for a 15-year loan.”
KB Home sales representatives are showing special flexibility in making buyers feel safe as Colorado moves through the crisis, Carpenter notes. Buyers that don’t feel comfortable being outside the home yet find ways to explore Copperleaf through KB Home’s web site—including Matterport virtual tours that show a home’s interior in 3-D. Reps are readily available to talk about specifics. KB Home’s Studio has safe options to work with buyers to select finishes within their budget.
For those who are venturing out, KB Home is giving visitors plenty of elbow room at its models off S. Picadilly Street at Stanford Place—cleaning homes between showings, including three homes ready for move-in.
Those include two ranches ready to go—one with a daylit, walkout basement with two finished extra bedrooms, and an open-concept recreation area. Itap priced at $525,000, for over 2,600 feet of finished space, including a main-floor office.
KB Home also has a family-sized ‘Lafayette,’ with three bedrooms up plus a loft and bedroom-level laundry, almost 2,400 square feet, ready to move in at $540,000. If you’re headed on-site, you’ll see how convenient this is to Southlands with lots of dining options, and to Aurora Reservoir and its surrounding trail, with park, beach, and trailheads, ten minutes east.
