ORLANDO / TAMPA, Fla. --- Lennar Homes has a once-in-a-lifetime offer for potential new home buyers in the Central Florida region: lock in today’s price on a new home for one full year with a one-year mortgage interest rate cap for good measure.

Mark Metheny, president of Lennar’s Central Florida Division, said the offer is designed to help new home buyers who are saving up to buy a new home.

“For a family who is close and plans to buy a new home over the next 12 months, we can lock in today’s price for one year and offer them a one-year cap on their mortgage interest rate,” Metheny said.

“When they are ready to buy they get today’s price and they get an interest rate they can afford,” he said.

Metheny said Lennar’s price lock offer will help other buyers who are concerned with impending foreclosure, bankruptcy, or rental lease contracts.

“The housing market is improving and housing prices and interest rates are bound to rise,” Metheny said. “Last month applications for new building permits nationwide reached the highest level since August 2008,” he said.
