Beazer Homes Building 13 New Town Homes at Sawgrass Village In Pinellas Park That Qualify For $8,000 Tax Credit
PINELLAS PARK - Beazer Homes has started construction of 13 new town homes priced from $125,700 at Sawgrass Village, located at 4734 68th Terrace, off 49th St. in Pinellas Park.
Kareyann Rhodes, sales manager for Beazer Homes in the Tampa Bay region, said she expects to sell all 13 new homes---and six more homes besides---before the end of June, and she’s thanking the $8,000 tax credit incentive for first-time home buyers for the sales surge.
“We’ve gotten a lot of queries from prospective first-time home buyers,” Rhodes said. “The $8,000 tax credit, coupled with low prices and builder incentives and great mortgage interest rates have created a unique opportunity to buy a new home,” she said.
Those builder incentives – Beazer has six town homes at Sawgrass Village equipped with upgraded stainless steal appliances – add no additional cost for a limited time.
And the builder incentives are important, Rhodes said. “Many buyers are shopping home builders right now, expecting to make their decision and be under contract by April 30 in time to qualify for the tax credit June closing deadline,” she said.
Rhodes said the new town homes under construction at Sawgrass Village range from 1,208 square feet of living space to 1,609 square feet, and all are built with the Beazer eSMART features that increase energy and water efficiency and indoor air quality.
