Home buyers capitalize on low prices, $8K federal tax credit plus $8K builder match
Portland, Ore.- Nov. 17, 2009- Legend Homes today announced less than a dozen residences remain in their end-of-year clearance sale on move-in ready homes.
Nearly a dozen Portland-area families have found these incredible home values since the sale began last month. The homes also are covered by a transferable 10-year warranty plan. Buyers get Legend’s renowned construction quality at amazing prices – the homes in this sale have been reduced as much as $140,000 from the original asking price.
Legend has further sweetened its incentive to buyers by matching the up to $8,000 in available federal closing tax credit dollars for new homebuyers on all homes purchased by the end of the year. Buyers can use the builder matching dollars for closing costs, or pre-paid expenses or both.
The clearance allows buyers to take advantage of Legend’s energy efficient and EarthAdvantage® certified construction at heavily discounted prices. Neighborhoods are located in Hillsboro, Tigard, Happy Valley and Wilsonville. Clearance homes represent a wide variety of floor plans, distinct architectural features and multiple amenities. Legend is known for unique streetscapes, and homeowners in these Legend communities enjoy neighborhood parks, greenspaces, walking and nature paths, and children’s play structures and sports courts.
Homebuyers can choose from floor plans ranging from 1,400 square feet to 2,900 square feet. All homes include finishes like Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, slab granite kitchen countertops to stainless steel appliances. Most floorplans include vaulted master bedroom suites with spacious walk-in closets. Fenced backyards and irrigated landscaping are standard in all of these move-in ready homes.

Legend Homes President Jim Chapman said this inventory reduction sale leads the way for new Legend Home EarthSmart construction in 2010. EarthSmart homes, smaller and affordable, employ state-of-the-art building practices coupled with the company’s strong focus on energy and resource conservation. The first EarthSmart solar home is nearly complete at the “Edgewater on the Tualatin” community, and will be available for tours in January.
