Lennar Offers 3.75 Percent Fixed-Rate, 30-Year Financing at its Central Florida Communities through Aug. 30
ORLANDO, Fla. --- Lennar’s Central Florida Division is offering 3.75 percent 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage financing on select ready-to-move-in homes at its 18 communities in the Orlando area including Clermont, Winter Garden, Sanford, Mount Dora, Sorrento, Davenport, Kissimmee, Melbourne and the Lake Nona area now through Aug. 31.
Mark Metheny, president of Lennar’s Central Florida division, said the country’s recent economic challenges have resulted in new low interest rates and the unprecedented buying opportunities now available throughout Lennar’s Central Florida communities.
Lennar’s Central Florida Division also builds single-family, town homes, manor, villa and vacation homes in 15 communities in the Tampa Bay and Lakeland areas.
Sales must close in August to be qualified for the new low interest rate.
“That means a home buyer can qualify for a 30 year, fixed-rate mortgage at 3.75 percent and move in before September,” Metheny said.
“Prices are dramatically reduced, we won’t see mortgage interest rates like these again and each home comes with Lennar’s “Everything’s Included” package, that means everything from GE Energy Star® appliances, ceramic tile flooring, maple wood cabinets, granite kitchen counter tops and upgraded landscaping,” he said.
