If you’re getting ready to buy a home, you may be worried about things like student loans and credit scores, which can feel overwhelming. By taking simple steps like setting up a budget and working to pay off other debt, you could own a home even quicker than you think.
By a Budget
If you feel like you’re asking yourself where your money has gone every month, chances are, you aren’t sticking to a written budget. Setting up a budget guarantees that every dollar you make is given a purpose. Once this budget is in place, you’ll be able to start directing your money toward necessary expenses. By doing this, you’ll quickly realize just how much you’re spending on things like going out to eat or personal recreation. By balancing out your budget, you’ll be able to spread your income further.
Deal with Debt
When you’re getting ready to save for a home, knocking out your other debts first will help you save exponentially faster. Think about it like this: if you have a minimum $500 student loan monthly payment, putting everything you can find into that debt will allow you to free up all of that extra money plus the $500, which you can in turn put towards any other debt or your savings for a down payment.
Make Your Move
Now that you’ve got a handle on what to do with your money, it’s time to meet other like-minded individuals who have the same goal. Check out Lennar’s Make Your Move workshop on financially preparing for homeownership on March 10th. The “OWN your Finances and Your Home” event will include a social happy hour so you can meet other young professionals in Tampa Bay, and a panel of experts will be there to discuss key insights on budgeting, special programs for first time home buyers, the home loan process and how to truly own your finances. From the first budget you make to the first time you unlock your new home, Lennar’s innovative Make Your Move program will be with you every step of your homebuying journey. For dynamic events featuring an expert panel and an opportunity to speak with other young professionals going through the same journey, be sure to check out the Make Your Move workshop series.
There are many reasons why Camas has become such a desirable city for families in the Portland and Southwest Washington area. For starters, it’s considered one of Washington States’ safest cities and hosts some of its most well-regarded schools, which makes it a great setting for young couples and growing families.
Camas is nestled just north of the Columbia River and east of Vancouver, which offers the best of both worlds: residents appreciate that small-town charm and country setting, but also love the abundance of quality shopping and restaurants. And for even more opportunities, downtown Portland is just 20 miles away – and both downtown Vancouver and Portland International Airport are convenient located just 14 miles away.
And within this quickly growing town is Green Mountain by Lennar, a masterplan unlike anything in the Clark County area that paves the way for a unique lifestyle. Set in a beautiful location surrounded by greenery, Green Mountain provides residents with exciting amenities right at their fingertips, so they can discover their best life right at home.
The community’s crown jewel is a 14.1-acre central park with amenities for the whole family. Grab a ball and round up the neighbors because this park offers both a basketball court and a volleyball grass court for a friendly game. Take your lunch outdoors or host your kid’s next birthday party here with a picnic shelter with tables. Your little ones will love the play structure where they can burn off some energy and meet up with the other neighborhood kids after school.
You’ll also be inspired to stay active with a regional trail system that passes right through the community. And on those glorious summer days, enjoy a little rest and recreation at the community clubhouse which boasts a refreshing pool. The beauty of living in a masterplanned community is that it was designed for the modern family and today’s lifestyles, which is why there’s also something to do and something new to explore at Green Mountain.
Starting from the low $400s, Lennar offers eight single and two-story floorplans ranging from approximately 1,747 to 2,634 square feet of living space, including three to four bedrooms and two to three bathrooms.

For years, many people working in Baytown and areas east of Houston have been coping with undesirable commutes home to Clear Lake, Kingwood and other parts of Houston 45 minutes to more than an hour away.
Fortunately, those days are coming to an end.
Several communities of new homes are taking root east of Houston, most notably in Baytown, where families can enjoy a new home close to work, attend quality Goose Creek ISD schools, enjoy nearby shopping and dining at Chambers Town Center, natural amenities and the convenience of immediate access to Interstate 10 and U.S. Highway 90.
Such is the case in Ashbel Cove, the first neighborhood to open in Friendswood Development’s Baytown Crossings, where Lennar is adding new homes from two of our top-selling collections starting in the $199s.

Both collections feature Lennar’s signature Everything’s Included® package of stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, hard surface flooring, designer cabinets with crown molding and recessed LED lighting.
New homes by Lennar also include the builder’s Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Home Design™ which allows families to control their lights, front door locks and thermostat simply through voice-activated home automation while creating a seamless Wi-Fi experience without dead spots.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner – only one week away! Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway with your significant other, a girls night out, or binge-watching your favorite show, February 14th is fast approaching. In honor of Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating our love for the home with a color trend that is right on par with the season- blush.
Growing in popularity for a couple of years now, blush is a hot color for both the fashion and interior design industries. With so many variations and shades, it’s really simple to integrate into your existing home decor. To create a romantic atmosphere that is right on trend, check out our tips below for incorporating this color into your home.
Your dining area is a space where family and friends come together for celebrating- and of course eating! Why not create a trendy and vibrant atmosphere with the addition of the color blush? Upholstered dining chairs are a great way to add a pop of color without going over the top, and a luxurious fabric like velvet elevates the look and feel.
The master bedroom is easily the most-used room in your home, so there’s no reason not to make it a relaxing space! Light and bright colors create a fresh, spa-like atmosphere, while the addition of blush brings a touch of elegance and fun.
Blush is naturally a more feminine color, which can deter a lot people away from using the shade in their home. An easy way to help balance this out is with neutral colors. Try mixing in white, grey, and taupe to create a sophisticated color palette and don’t be afraid to add a little pink to your space!
This is typically the easiest and most inexpensive way to change up your decor and introduce a new color. Bring in smaller accents, like throw pillows, blankets, and decorative objects that are easily interchangeable. Blush is a great color for both winter and summer, and looks great in your home year-round!
If home is where the heart is, then why not make it the best home it can be? This season is your opportunity to fall in love with Lennar’s Connected Home. Lennar is the first homebuilder worldwide to offer new Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ home designs that offer strong internet connectivity in every room. So that you can have better coverage and your whole family can too!
Lennar’s Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ homes meet the standards for strong, consistent connectivity throughout the entire home that are set by the Wi-Fi alliance, a global network. The process for creating these homes starts with the design, where a series of wireless access points are mapped throughout the home and then built in during construction. The end result provides strong coverage in every room.
Adding to the value, Lennar’s Everything’s Included® program allows you to enjoy all the dream features you love, without paying extra! Upgraded kitchen countertops, state-of-the-art kitchen appliances, integrated home automation products and so much more come at no additional cost in every new Lennar home.
One of the benefits you get from buying a new Lennar home, is the ability to choose from some of the most desirable locations. We seek to build in areas that families want to live, whether that’s in great school districts, with easy commutes, in amenity-rich setting or close to shopping and outdoor recreation – you’ll always have choices instead of settling for a home you’ve fallen for, but perhaps not the location.
And lastly, a variety of floorplans – along with community types in most markets – gives you incredible versatility. All of our floorplans are designed with modern families in mind, which is why they showcase open-concept layouts that maximize a home’s interior space, luxurious master bathrooms and outdoor living spaces for those who love to entertain. Depending on the type of home your looking for, something small and less maintenance or large with extra bedrooms, you’ll be able to find the perfect floorplan for you.
Not only do we provide you with floorplan options, locations, great features and the world’s first Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ designs, but our Internet Sales Consultants and New Home Consultants are experts in the industry and are standing by to answer any questions that come to mind.
