4 Great Reasons to Buy or Build Now in Cottonwood Canyon!


As the Cottonwood Canyon Community Team, we understand that buying a home is a large decision, and building a home is an even larger one!  Such a significant financial decision needs to be weighed carefully as there are many details that come into play.  Selling your current home, planning for retirement, and building a custom home versus buying a move-in ready home are just a few of the decisions that are probably coming to mind.
Buying or building a home in Cottonwood Canyon is something we encourage potential buyers to take as much time as necessary in deciding, and we are here to guide and answer questions whenever needed.  But, as those involved within the Lenexa real estate market, we also have our finger on the pulse of the current market and recognize that now is a great time to buy!  Here are just a few key reasons that may help you in taking that next step.
1. Low Home & Lot Prices- Whether you are looking to buy or build in Cottonwood Canyon; take advantage of getting in at the ground level!  Homes begin in the $470’s and lots are priced competitively, so you’re sure to get a great deal now before the market picks up even more as predicted for 2013.
2. Low Mortgage Rates- The national housing market is currently offering historically low mortgage rates, and the same can be found in Lenexa’s real estate market. Buyers are able to begin building equity right after they close on a home because of today’s lower mortgage rates. 
3. Move-in Ready Homes- If you are interested in living in Cottonwood Canyon’s scenic golf course community, but prefer a move-in ready home; there are a few models homes from which to choose!  Stunning views, generous square footage, professional landscaping and custom features are just a few of the reasons you’ll fall in love with these stunning Cottonwood Canyon model homes. 
4. Lenders Offer No-Fee Mortgages- Many banks and other lending institutions are waiving mortgage loan generation and other fees and points (each point represents 1% of the loan amount), which reduces the cost of buying.  Just one more reason to take advantage of today’s buyers market!
As you can see, these are legitimate reasons to buy or build a Cottonwood Canyon home sooner rather than later.  This award winning golf course community in Lenexa offers the best in luxury, privacy, convenience and community with award winning home designs.  With only 125 private homesites available, you’ll want to take advantage of the current markets’ perks before it’s too late!
We are always here to guide you through the entire process and to answer your questions to ensure you feel comfortable each step of the way.  Interested in learning more about Cottonwood Canyon?  Please feel free to visit our website or contact us today.  We look forward to talking with you!
