Charleston SC New Home Builder Buyer Incentives

By: Darcy Creaturo

Buying a New Construction home can still get you a good deal. Recently I had a sale where the buyer I was representing got a check for $2,000 back at closing. They brought no money to the table for a down payment (the builder paid their down payment), they brought no money for closing and they also got 2,000 worth of custom paint on their new home. The reason they got such a great deal is because of builder incentives that the Builder, Lennar Homes, was offering at the time.

I have seen Builders offer free Plasma TV’s, free Bonus room, Screen Porches, 20,000 in design center upgrades. Builders will even offer to buy down you mortgage rate if you use their preferred lender. All of these examples are incentives the builders offer to help get their homes to sell. Ryland, DR Horton, Lennar, Centex and other builders offer these incentives to help reach their sale quota but Incentives can really help you as a buyer if you need that extra cash for closing.

Ryland Homes in the Charleston, SC area

Ryland homes have built over 270,000 homes since it started building in 1967. They are a Fortune 500 company and are traded on the New York stock exchange. In 2002, Ryland started building in Charleston South Carolina. Because Ryland has been in business for over three decades, they have a long standing relationship with trusted suppliers and sub contractors that stand behind their work. They use a higher grade of materials and name brand fixtures and appliances. Ryland is not one of those here today gone tomorrow builders.

When you build a Ryland home you get a choice of one or two year warranty and a ten year structural warranty. If a problem should arise in your home after closing they are there to guide you through and take care of any issues. When you build with Ryland homes your get to go to their design center and pick (with the assistance of a professional designer) every item for your home to really make it fit your personality. Ryland has just opened a brand new design center on Daniel Island. Ryland’s Design Center is filled with thousands of options to pick from to fit your style and make your home YOUR HOME. As one of the largest builders in Charleston, South Carolina area, Ryland is currently building new homes in Summerville, North Charleston and Mount Pleasant. Taylor Plantation, located along the Ashley River in the North area of Charleston is one of their newest communities featuring homes in the 200,000-350,000 range. In Mount Pleasant SC, Pembroke is another Ryland community in the high 300-500,000 range in desirable Park West community.

Pembroke of Park West in Mt. Pleasant SC

Ryland Homes has created Pembroke, a beautiful family oriented section of most desirable Park West. Pembroke is located in an excellent school district in Mount Pleasant South Carolina. The home sites are not your typical flattened earth without trees or any signs of life. All of the 126 homes sites are tree lined, pond front or marsh front. Most home sites are .25 acres or more. The neighborhood is surrounded on both sides by million dollar homes helping your property value. The homes are low country styled with porches or wrap around porches to sip your Ice Tea on.

The homes in Pembroke start in the high 300,000’s and go up to 500,000. The floor plans are perfect for a family with children of all ages. The kitchens are spacious and very modern. All the floor plans are at least 3 bedrooms and some can have as many as 6 bedrooms. In my opinion one of the best features is the bonus room. The spaces is large and perfect for a gameroom, media room or playroom for the kids. The construction is high end for a track home builder. Sparing no expense, Ryland uses 30 year shingles, solid hardiplank cement siding, 13 SEER Carrier HVAC system with Puron, 50 Gallon water heater just to mention a few features. You can pick your home site, floor plan, colors and wait 6 months to have your home built. But there are also homes ready to move into now with special incentives if you close within 30 days. One glance down a street in Pembroke and you just feel like you’re at home.
