Real estate is a great investment, whatever the economic climate, and there are inherent values in newly built homes that make them a no-brainer for many potential homebuyers.
Empire Homes Colorado (previously Covington Homes), wants you to know that buying a new home is a great idea … and they can help you achieve this goal. Empire Homes’ new build homes start in the $400,000s and are located in the best master-planned communities in Colorado Springs and El Paso County! Whether it is through rate buy downs to 3.75%, locking in a lower interest rate, seller paid closing costs, finding an adjustable mortgage, or taking advantage of Empire’s fantastic promotions — Empire is dedicated to help you realize this opportunity.
“Buying a home is an aspirational and rewarding experience, but can be daunting for first-time homebuyers,” said Grace Covington, regional president at Empire Homes Colorado. “A new home is the largest investment people can make in their lifetimes, so if you are concerned about downpayment availability or credit history, our preferred lenders will counsel you throughout the process with the goal of finding the best loan or financing mechanism that meets you where you are. This detailed and valuable navigational assistance will result in the best option at the best interest rate and payment possible.”

New home nuances
A new home gives homebuyers the opportunity to get what they want, the way they want it, where they want it! And, when you work with Empire Homes Colorado, you have your future home your way affordably! There are currently great pricing and financing options which will likely not be offered next year in the market as conditions improve. Among the many benefits of a new home are a builder warranty, new appliances and equipment, available landscaping options, maximized square footage and peace of mind. And quick move-in Inventory homes deliver all of the above with the most popular options currently on the market.
