At one time earlier this year new construction was way above the sale prices of homes in the market but the builders that have survived are not competitive. If you’ve considered a purcahse you have several choices and new construction should be one of them. Feel free to contact me about your options at 623.271.4234 or visit www.ValleyREadvisor.com.

Have you ever thought about checking out Active Adult Communities in Arizona? With the new Stay and Buy program at Trilogy at Vistancia, now is the perfect time to do it. Instead of staying in a hotel wondering what’s going on in these neighborhoods at night, you can now live the good life with a 3 or 4 night stay in a home at Trilogy at Vistancia.

This program is similar to Sun City Festival’s program in that it pays for a dinner, gives you access to the community center and more. It lets you hang out at the club, meet people that live here and learn what it’s like to live in a resort style active adult community. Here are a few details-

The Taste of Trilogy program is where you can stay 2-4 nights, receive $100 gift certificate for the Verde Grill, two for golf or two for spa treatment and full use of the Kiva Club and amenities.

2 night, 3 days - $189

3 nights, 4 days - $269

4 nights, 5 days - $349

If you decide to purchase, Shea Homes will credit back the cost of this stay making this stay FREE. What could be better than staying where you want to buy?

I mentioned that Sun City Festival also offers a program like this and in fact I can get you a $5,000 credit for buying out at Festival if you stay there so maybe you could take advantage of both communities and make a whole week of active adult living!

To learn more about these great programs please give me a call at 623-271-4234 or email ay Jay@valleyREadvisor.com and I can cover all the details including helping you setup the stays and make sure you receive your discounts.

Sun City Festival in Buckeye Arizona just lowered the price to stay in the vacation villas!

What better way to decide if you’d like active adult living then to stay there for a few days before you buy? Del Webb has offered active adult living for retirees (over 55) since the mid 1960’s and Sun City Festival is their newest community.

Located in the west valley of Phoenix Arizona, it’s positioned to be the up and coming location for expansion when the market returns. It’s a few miles (8 minutes) from the Sun City Grand and Surprise area but once out there the first thing you’ll notice is the quiet.

Here’s a short video with the details!

If you would like more information about the active adult communities you can visit www.Retiring2Az.com or contact me direct at 623.271.4234. I constantly update myself regarding these communties and have the knowledge to help you decided which communties fit best.

A little planning can save you a lot of time when you’re here looking for your new home.

GREAT NEWS!  If you’re considering a move to an active adult community in Arizona, there has never been a better time. Trilogy at Vistancia in Peoria, Arizona just announced a HUGE reduction in their interest rates, not to mention their pricing. For more information or to setup your private tour of this exciting community contact me at 623.271.4234 or jay@valleyREadvisor.com

You have likely heard that last Monday the Federal Government took action to help the ailing U.S. Economy and announced that it would be infusing $600 billion into the credit markets. This action has lead to some very attractive interest rates. We can now offer an exclusive 4.5% program at Trilogy that allows you to take further advantage of falling mortgage rates. Qualified buyers closing escrow in 2008 can get an unheard of 4.5% rate on a 30 year fixed loan (4.66%APR) saving you up to $3200* annually or $97,000* over the life of the loan.

We encourage you to share this great opportunity with your friends and family as the Last Chance Year-End Sale is on now and we must sell our remaining inventory before the end of the year. So now is the time, our limited inventory of Last Chance Year-End Sale homes are going quickly and when these deals are gone, they are gone forever! But hurry, homes must close by December 31, 2008 to take advantage of these incredible, money-saving rates.

Call me today at 623.271.4234, and let’s negotiate a deal on your dream home. This is the LAST CHANCE of the year, the sale ends Sunday, December 14. The time is now, Trilogy is the place, and the savings are all yours. Happy Holidays from Shea Homes Active Lifestyle Communities.
