New Home Interest and Sales on the Rise at Pardee Homes Communities in the Inland Empire; Two New Neighborhoods Opened for Sale in Feburary

    LOS ANGELES, CA, March 17, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- March is starting off strong with a surge of sales for Inland Empire homebuilder, Pardee Homes (www.pardeehomes.com). Interest has been on the upswing, and home sales for the weekend ending February 21st soared to 11 sales and 10 deposits taken at a combination of four of Pardee's Inland Empire new home neighborhoods.

Pardee is one of a few builders so far this year to open new neighborhoods. Two new neighborhoods, LivingSmart Homes in Beaumont and Lake Elsinore, opened in mid January with nine sales the first week. Two additional homes were sold at two other neighborhoods--Silverthorne in Lake Elsinore and Candlewood in The Preserve at Chino.

"Our hopes for a strong start to the new year are now a reality," said Matt Sauls, regional marketing director for Pardee Homes. "The synergy created with our dual grand opening seems to be spreading to other new home neighborhoods. With 11 sales in one week and ten additional deposits, we couldn't be more pleased at the outlook for the first quarter and the great response to our LivingSmart Homes.

In addition, many home shoppers are taking advantage of the $8,000 Federal tax credit for first-time buyers and $6,500 tax credit for established move-up buyers who have lived in their home for five consecutive years out of the past eight years. This program ends soon and applies to purchases under contract by April 30, 2010."

Pardee Homes has been developing beautiful homes for over 87 years and builds in some of the most desirable locations, often near schools, shopping and recreation for an overall higher quality of life.
