The only thing more up and down than the housing market these days is your kid's favorite ride at Lagoon. Between interest rate hikes, high prices and low inventory, home sales have slowed from where they've been the last few years. Prices have also decreased. Katie McKellar reporting for the Deseret News says housing prices dropped 6% in the last two years in Salt Lake County — the first year-over-year decline in 11 years. Even still, prices and interest rates remain high for most buyers.
Unless you're Goldcrest Homes, that is.
Goldcrest Homes is one of the premier new construction builders in the state and with so many appealing perks, it's easy to see why. If you've been anxious about getting into a new home, Goldcrest Homes can make it happen.
Here are five things they are offering to make your home ownership dreams come true.
Homes are in close rural communities
Goldcrest Homes are some of the most stylish, modern and intuitive designs on the market. The best part is they're available now to buy today. There's no stressing over design choices, no going over budget and no waiting. With Goldcrest Homes you get high-quality homes at accessible prices in the best locations.
The communities they've chosen are out of the way just enough to give you that nice, peaceful neighborhood feeling you've been longing for. Just some of the communities they have a presence in include Tooele, Garden City, Bear Lake, American Fork and Riverdale.
Existing home trade-in program
If you've been wanting to get into a new home but are put out by the hassle of selling, you're going to love Goldcrest Homes' trade-in program. It's an easy process and can get you out of your current home and into your new one in as little as eight days.
The process is simple. First, you pick out your new Goldcrest home. Then, one of their experts will evaluate your current home. This includes a comparative market analysis as well as an in-person walk-through. Then, Goldcrest Homes will make you an offer. If you accept, you could be moved in less than two weeks.
There are several benefits to doing this. First, all you have to do is pack up your house. No touch-ups, repairs or updates are needed. Second, you don't have to show your home, taking the heat off of you to present it perfectly when you're in a stressful moving situation. And lastly, closing is simple because the selling and buying transactions take place at the same time. After that, Goldcrest allows you time to move in, which means no hotels, storage units or other temporary living arrangements are necessary.
Exclusive low-interest rates available on certain homes
Interest rates got you down? Well, you're not alone. Goldcrest Homes is here to help you out. Right now, for some of their homes, the company will finance select new homes at 3.99% until mortgage rates fall below 5% (subject to credit and down payment approval).
Bankrate reported the average interest rate to be 7%, so a 3.99% rate is a huge savings that can save you hundreds of dollars each month and tens of thousands of dollars over the years. Once the prime lending rate drops below 5%, Goldcrest Homes will pay for the cost of a new mortgage conversion.
Homes with a legal ADU
Everyone's looking for extra cash these days, and that's yet another reason to consider Goldcrest Homes. Several of their home options are available with a legal additional dwelling unit (ADU or internal apartment) that can offset up to half the mortgage payment.
This is a big deal, especially considering how prices have risen in recent years, said Katie McKellar of the Deseret News. If you don't need the extra space, renting out that ADU could be an easy way to make purchasing that brand-new home a little easier to stomach.
A no brainer combination
When it comes to buying a new home, it only makes sense to look at Goldcrest Homes. Between their appealing offers like low-interest rate seller financing, a headache-free trade-in of your current home, beautiful, modern design and idyllic community locations, going with Goldcrest is a no-brainer.
