Lennar is one of the homebuilders highlighted in this article about how active adult communities can ease the transition for those who are moving out of homes they’ve owned for years, and into a completely new lifestyle.
Saying farewell to the family home – so full of memories – can be the most trying part of moving to an active-adult 55-plus community lifestyle where snow shovels and lawn mowers are traded for amenities like an indoor pool and fitness center.
However, there’s no need to despair. Representatives of these active adult communities understand their senior buyer and have programs in place to assist at various stages in the relocation process.
At Lennar Homes, a national builder of active 55-plus adult homes from Rockaway Township to Ware-town in South Jersey, a speedy sale is best delivered with a substantial inventory of new construction homes ready and waiting for buyers.
“We’ve got one of every type of home, at least one of every design,” said Jay Goldberg, director of sales for Lennar. “If they have sold their homes, we give them something to move into within 60 days, sometimes 30 days.”
To further ease the transition for its buyers, Lennar Homes has come up with a “kinder, gentler process” where everything’s included. “We don’t sell options,” Goldberg explained, although buyers can choose from two or three color packages. Because everything’s included, options do not vary the price of a home. “If they visit a community, they can know the exact price of a home on that day.”
