PHOENIX, AZ —May 2009 — Incentives have never been better, tax credits have never been bigger, interest rates have never been lower. Lennar is urging homebuyers not to snooze on these incredible offers or they may just lose the opportunity to take advantage of this tremendous buyer’s market, which won’t last. This weekend, May 2nd and 3rd, Lennar is offering prime financing and incentives to solidify a homebuyer’s decision to buy now.

“There is no guarantee that all of these incentives, such as financing, tax credits and low pricing, will last,” said Alan Jones, Division President for Lennar Arizona. “More and more people are realizing how great these offers are and are taking full advantage. They realize it’s a ‘now or never’ type of situation—snooze, and you may just lose.”

The federal tax credit worth up to $8,000** for first-time homebuyers has only been approved until the end of the year and since the announcement of this substantial government tax credit, sales on new homes have spiked. Real estate experts report a year over year and month over month increase in sales, indicating a possible leveling off on home prices.

In addition, Universal American Mortgage Company, Lennar’s preferred lender, introduced in April some of the company’s lowest interest rates in history, offering homebuyers the most savings possible. This weekend, buyers can take advantage of this continued incredible financing with 1.99% fixed for year 1, 2.99% fixed for year 2, and 3.99% (4.39% APR) fixed for life, plus paid closing costs.† Purchasing a home at such a reduced interest rate allows homebuyers to finance a brand new home at the same competitive rate as other homes currently on the market while offering homebuyers, move-in ready brand new homes with some of the most desired upgrades included as standard.

“Sales are on the rise as home shoppers realize this is a wonderful buyer’s market that won’t be here forever,” said Jones. “As one of the country’s top homebuilders, we’re doing everything we can to help buyers take advantage of these offers and feel secure in their purchase.”

Lennar is also continuing its “Peace of Mind” Mortgage Payment Protection ProgramSM‡ at select new home communities nationwide. Designed to offer homebuyers extra comfort when purchasing their home, Lennar’s program provides assistance to those who experience financial difficulty due to unforeseen job loss. Qualified homeowners that are enrolled in the Peace of Mind program benefit from up to $1,800 per month for up to six months of the homeowner’s mortgage payments.

From luxury home designs to more traditional single single-level and two-story estate homes with prices from the $80,000s to $400,000s, Lennar has a price and a plan for most every type of buyer. With eight Communities across the Valley, Lennar builds in some of the most prime master plans including Asante, Layton Lakes, Stetson Valley, and coming soon Lone Mountain.

Celebrating its 55th anniversary, Lennar has grown to become one of the nation’s leading homebuilders. With hundreds of Communities nationwide and homes designed for first-time, move-up and luxury homebuyers, Lennar has long distinguished itself by simply including everything as standard under its motto, “Everything You Want, Everything You Need, That’s the Logic of LennarSM.”
