The visit to a builder’s design center generally occurs within 14 to 30 days after signing a purchase contract, according to Amy Williams, Arizona regional design center manager for Interior Logic, a company that contracts with approximately 30 local homebuilders to manage their design centers. Most builders include several choices for each design element as part of the purchase price of a Choice-ﬁlled showrooms “Don’t bring extraneous home, but many buyers opt to purchase After a buyer signs a purchase agreement, people with you, whether upgraded and/or different finishes than most homebuilders offer buyers the a builder includes as standard.

Generations together Homebuilders offer options for extended families

Shea Homes Active Lifestyle Communities

Latigo at Trilogy Wickenburg Ranch

By Debra Gelbart

ncreasing numbers of homebuyers are opting for a space as part of their new home that can — if need be — comfortably accommodate either aging parents or perhaps young adult children. After all, according to the Pew Research Center, nearly a third of all millennials between the ages of 18 and 34 live with their parents. The reasons behind the popularity of multigenerational living have shifted a bit from five years ago, said Alan Jones, Phoenix division president for Lennar Homes, a homebuilder that pioneered the concept of a “NextGen” suite with a great room, bedroom, kitchenette, bath, laundry and private entry, depending on the plan.

LIFE IN EVERY DIRECTION

A home within a home When Lennar introduced the concept of a “home within a home” in 2011, typically Baby Boomer buyers purchased a home with the separate suite to help out aging parents. Today, the aging parents may be just as likely to be the buyers for their approaching-middle-aged children so the older family members can live with their children and avoid an assisted living facility, Jones said. In addition, it’s now more common for buyers with special-needs adult children to opt for a NextGen home design. “Buyers in this situation have told me how much they appreciate this option,” Jones said. “They tell me how great it is for their child with autism, for example, to be able to live somewhat independently and experience the satisfaction of living in their own space.” Jones estimates that up to 30 percent of Lennar’s buyers select a NextGen plan.

Lennar’s NextGen Evolution model

“The number increases every year,” he said. Lennar is selling homes at about two dozen communities in Greater Phoenix; almost all of them offer a NextGen floor plan. “A NextGen suite is connected to the main house so all the people living under one roof can easily be together when they want to be,” Jones said. “But with a separate entrance, a washer and dryer that are included and a kitchenette, the suite is separate enough to feel like an independent residence.”

“In many Toll Brothers single-family-home neighborhoods in Arizona, we have floor plan offerings of private casitas with a separate entrance or secondary master suites.” —Scott Ilizaliturri, Toll Brothers

Casitas remain popular Each of Trilogy’s four communities in the Phoenix area offers at least two design plans with a casita option adjacent to a courtyard, said Hal Looney, Arizona president of Shea Homes’ Active Lifestyle Communities. The brand’s four active lifestyle communities in the Phoenix area are Trilogy Vistancia (Peoria),

Lennar Homes

Shea Homes Active Lifestyle Communities

Trilogy Verde River (Rio Verde), Trilogy Wickenburg Ranch (Wickenburg) and Trilogy Encanterra (San Tan Valley). All of the Trilogy plans with a casita option include a bedroom and bath, Looney said. With one plan, the casita is standard. Altogether, 10 other floor plans offered by Trilogy can be purchased with an optional casita. One plan in Trilogy Vistancia — the Montage floor plan — includes an option for a dual master suite with a sitting room. With Trilogy’s Latigo floor plan, the attached casita is a standard configuration and included in the base price, Looney said. That plan is available at both Trilogy Verde River and Wickenburg Ranch. The casita is 380 square-feet out of 2,644 square-feet total. The base price is either $386,900 or $552,900, depending on which community you select. Five years ago, Looney said, the casita option was used almost exclusively as an extra bedroom. Now, buyers are using the casita as an arts studio, office, exercise or hobby room, but they might also put in a bed that can be hidden — such as a Murphy bed — that can be available if an adult child visits or even moves back in, he said.

multigenerational households, said Scott Ilizaliturri, division vice president for Toll Brothers. “In many Toll Brothers singlefamily-home neighborhoods in Arizona,” Ilizaliturri said, “we have floor plan offerings of private casitas with a separate entrance or secondary master suites.” He said Toll Brothers is finding that more and more buyers have aging parents or adult children at home. “Sometimes they have both,” he said. “Five years ago, it was important — but today it is almost a necessity to offer that flexibility in design.” In response, said Ilizaliturri, Toll Brothers has developed a casita with its own entrance, a living area, kitchenette and en-suite bedroom. “This works perfectly for both a parent you want to keep close or an adult or nearly-adult child,” he said. “We also have fully finished basement options in many of our neighborhoods. These are nearly the size of the first floor and work well as a space for someone to live in, another entertaining space, or a comfortable area for visiting relatives.” In Toll Brothers communities, “many single-family detached home designs have a casita available,” he said. “The Southeast Valley communities have fully finished basements and casitas.” Toll Brothers’ neighborhood of paired villas in Fountain Hills has single-level plans with walk-out basements on some of the plans, he added.

“Almost a necessity” Toll Brothers also offers multiple home designs to meet the needs of

Mulberry, Mesa By Blandford Homes

Golf Canyon at Estrella, Goodyear

Featuring charming front-porch homes plus modern amenities and lifestyle activities, the master-planned community of Mulberry enjoys tree-lined boulevards that lead to the centrally located Mulberry Park, host to a Georgian Colonial-style building with white trim and green shutters. The park features sport courts, a playground, pool, fitness and multipurpose room, and a huge lawn area with a pavilion. Most of the sidewalks in Mulberry are offset from the roads with rose gardens, green grass and large palm trees mixed with big shade trees that create a canopy over the streets and walkways. The community enjoys a variety of home styles, some with wraparound porches, that range in size from 1,700 to just over 4,000 square-feet. A junior high school, senior high Mark Boisclair Photography via Blandford Homes school and two elementary schools in the Gilbert School District are adjacent to the community. Located close to the Loop 202 and the U.S. 60 Superstition Freeway, the community includes a shopping area called “Mulberry Marketplace” that features a Fry’s Marketplace designed in a Craftsman Bungalow style to tie into Mulberry’s architectural theme.

Located in the master-planned community of Estrella, Golf Canyon at Estrella includes two distinct neighborhoods with different types of homes: The Reserve and The Enclave. While the communities offer different-sized lots — The Reserve features 80-foot golf course home-sites and The Enclave offers 60-foot golf course homesites — they share many of the same overall amenities since both developments are located within the larger community of Estrella. For example, residents of both The Reserve and The Enclave have access to Estrella community amenities including a Nicklausdesigned golf course and the Mark Boisclair Photography via David Weekley Homes Starpointe Residents Club and Yacht Club as well as a community fitness center and water-park. Estrella also features several lakes for fishing and non-motorized boating plus miles and miles of hiking and biking trails. In addition, three public schools (two elementary schools and one high school) are located within Estrella.

Much more than a place to live, Wickenburg Ranch is a lively adult community that embraces its alluring natural landscape while providing one-of-a-kind, 5-star resort amenities like an award winning golf course and a 9-hole course, luxury spa, gourmet dining, saloon, and plenty more worth experiencing.

The Seller Disclosure Form What you need to know

By Susie Steckner

ou’re getting ready to purchase a brand-new home so you’ve purged, cleaned, staged and finally put your current home on the market. What’s next? A buyer, of course, and then, an onslaught of paperwork — including the all-important Seller Disclosure Form. Filling out the form may seem like a daunting task, but it is very userfriendly, said Paula Monthofer, the 2017 president of the Arizona Association of REALTORS®. Here are three things to know about the Seller Disclosure Form, courtesy of Monthofer. The purpose of the form. Arizona law requires sellers to disclose any defects they are aware of in their home. This form makes compliance easier for sellers and therefore helps protect them when they use it. It also gives notice to buyers about any potential problem areas as well as which utility companies are currently in service.

There are things that might need to be disclosed that are not on the form. There are many other disclosures regarding the property that may need to be made to the buyer throughout the course of the escrow, including but not limited to: HOA disclosures, road maintenance agreements, well agreements, unincorporated area disclosure, Schedule B and title history, and more. Schedule B is part of the title work the escrow company presents to the buyer. It discloses any limitations to their property ownership such as utility easements.

The form provides an easy way for sellers to comply with the law. All sellers are required by law to disclose any defects they know about the property. This form specifically is not required, however it provides the easiest way for sellers to comply and protect themselves.

And though homebuilders tout proximity to amenities like golf and shopping, buyers will also find an away-from-it-all escape in these communities. “The Northeast Valley offers a lifestyle that is truly unique,” said Todd Hahn, vice president of sales and marketing for the Phoenix division of Taylor Morrison. “Homes are surrounded by the Sonoran Desert and provide a feeling of quiet sanctuary in the evenings that homebuyers value and enjoy.” The endless natural beauty, coupled with desirable lot sizes, continues to bring buyers to the area, said Kevin Rosinski, Arizona division senior vice president for Toll Brothers. “The serene desert setting, the mountain views and the home-site sizes are a big draw,” he said.

Majesties of Mother Nature One of the crown jewels in the Northeast Valley is the ultra-scenic McDowell Mountain Regional Park, a 21,099-acre desert oasis nestled in the lower Verde River basin. Elevations in the park rise to 3,000 feet along the western boundary at the base of the McDowell Mountains. Visitors can enjoy more than 50 miles of multi-use trails, mountain views as far as the eye can see and cactus-studded expanses that invite legions of birds, coyotes and other wildlife. Smaller desert playgrounds such as the Cave Creek Regional Park, Phoenix Sonoran Preserve and Cave Buttes Recreation Area add to the mix of outdoor recreation opportunities for residents. Rosinski said Toll Brothers’ homeowners praise the best-of-all-worlds lifestyle in the area, enjoying the “beautiful sunsets, the peacefulness of the desert, the awesome hiking and the convenience of entertainment.”

Upscale venues of all kinds The Northeast Valley offers an appealing range of upscale shops and boutiques, chef-driven restaurants, live entertainment and much more. Unique cultural attractions boost the area’s profile too, with everything from the internationally known Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix to the art galleries in downtown Carefree to special events like Ballet Under the Stars in Fountain Hills.

“If it’s upscale living a homebuyer is looking for, the Northeast Valley offers a great lifestyle.” —Todd Hahn, Taylor Morrison

Hahn said area homebuyers also enjoy proximity to both public and private world-class golf courses such as Legend Trail Golf Club, Troon Country Club, Grayhawk Golf Club and the famed TPC Scottsdale, host of the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Equally — if not more so — important, the Northeast Valley offers a diverse mix of district, charter and private schools — a key draw for families — plus best-inclass healthcare venues including the renowned Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale.

in the Northeast Valley, Rosinski said. The communities run the gamut — from Andero Canyon in Fountain Hills featuring panoramic city-lights and mountain views to the gated Turquesa neighborhood in Scottsdale where estate-sized homes on two-acre home-sites offer enticing indoor/outdoor living opportunities. The builder takes full advantage of the area’s desert setting, Rosinski said. “Toll Brothers takes great care to incorporate the natural flora and fauna of the Sonoran Desert into our design and landscaping,” he said. “We position the homes for the best view of the mountains and desert while the architecture complements the natural surroundings.” Similarly, Taylor Morrison has been expanding its presence in the Northeast Valley with the addition of several newhome communities throughout North Phoenix and Scottsdale. The builder currently has five communities in the area, including the recently opened Ironhorse in Scottsdale. The community, featuring single-level residences near McDowell Mountain Regional Park, offers the best in desert living, Hahn said. Picture majestic saguaro cacti and colorful summer poppies, brilliant sunsets set against mountain backdrops and everyday visitors such as hawks, owls and quail. Another Taylor Morrison community, the intimate Enclave on the Eighth in North Scottsdale, boasts unique desert views of the “boulder pile” adjacent to The Boulders Resort & Spa and close proximity to amenities such as the Troon Country Club and El Pedregal Marketplace.

First-class communities A range of homebuilders have established themselves in the Northeast Valley and continue to vigorously expand in the area. Toll Brothers, for instance, currently has 10 actively selling neighborhoods

Jumbo loans What’s the big deal? By David M. Brown

Courtesy TourFactory and Frank Aazami Private Client Group

e recently asked two local financial experts to explain the concept of “jumbo loans”. Participants are Steve Howard, vice president/branch manager, Phoenix office of HomeStreet Home Loans, and Mark Taylor, senior mortgage loan officer, AmeriFirst Financial, Mesa.

What is a jumbo loan?

Howard: A jumbo loan exceeds the conventional loan limits for mortgages acquired by the federal governmentsponsored enterprises (GSEs), Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC). The Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) was created in 1938, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) in 1970, both to facilitate homeownership for Americans.

What is the new loan limit?

Taylor: Beginning Jan. 1, 2017, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) established $424,100 as the maximum in Arizona (and most of the country) for one-unit properties. The amount had been $417,000.

Are jumbos different in different parts of the country? Howard: Several states (among them, California, New York, Hawaii and Colorado as well as Washington, D.C.) have counties that qualify for higher conventional loan amounts. Specified counties are considered “high-cost” based

on the median housing figures calculated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). We do not have any high-cost counties in Arizona.

Who offers jumbo loans?

Howard: Brokers, mortgage bankers, banks and some credit unions. Loans are either a portfolio (funded and serviced by the institution who originates them) or securitized and sold to investors (mortgage-backed securities).

GRAND O P E N I N G HOT DOGS & FACE PAINTERS

Who needs these kinds of loans?

Taylor: Anyone who is buying a home for which they don’t have enough cash to put down to get a loan under the $424,100 limit. An example would be: the Smiths are buying a $600,000 home with $120,000 down; their new loan would be a jumbo loan of $480,000.

Are jumbo loan guidelines different from conventional loan requirements? Howard: Jumbo guidelines are set by the institutional investors who fund these types of transactions so they can vary from lender to lender. Often these guidelines can be more restrictive than conventional loan requirements.

Can a combo loan help?

Howard: A combo loan allows a client to use the less restrictive conforming guidelines to obtain a first mortgage up to $424,100 coupled with a home equity line of credit for the balance required.

Inﬁll may be the ticket Smaller, centrally located new-home developments may be perfect for some buyers

By Debra Gelbart

nfill developments — communities that generally have 50 or fewer lots and are often located in the heart of a city — may be ideal for some buyers of new homes. Builders of these smaller developments are often those that don’t necessarily develop large new-home communities. Mesa-based Bellago Homes, for example, quickly bought infill land in 2012, said Rebecca Hidalgo Rains, an agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Arizona Properties’ Integrity All Stars team. In 2014 and 2015, she said, “we saw the availability of infill properties dissipating because the housing market started rebounding. A handful of other builders also started looking at smaller parcels during this time.” By definition, she explained, infill parcels are typically not in masterplans. “But during the market downturn, some builders went bankrupt and other builders picked up the land they owned, so there are also some infill projects in master-plans,” she said.

Demand for closer-in locations “There is increasing demand for new homes in closer-in locations, convenient to employment centers, shopping, restaurants and night-life, some of which is driven by millennials, some by commute fatigue,” said Dean Selvey, a Realtor who represents new-home builders through his company, Arizona Builder Sales LLC. Selvey is licensed through RE/MAX Excalibur. “Often, in suburban communities, residential construction is followed by commercial developments, but in infill

communities, the opposite is often true,” Selvey pointed out. “Buyers want to live in areas that fit their lifestyle. Also, because of the resurgence in the economy — and specifically real estate — local and regional builders find infill fits their business model better than suburban building of larger communities.” Bellago Homes has completed three infill developments since 2013 and has four more where single-family homes currently are being sold — Buena Vista and Embarcadero (in Phoenix), Monticello (in Mesa) and The Villages at Canyon Ridge West (in Surprise). At Buena Vista, 14 lots are part of the development and four are still available. At Embarcadero, 40 lots comprise the development; 15 are available. At Monticello, 33 of 36 lots are available, while at The Villages at Canyon Ridge West, 22 of 40 lots are available. Selvey said about a dozen infill communities are located in the Biltmore and Arcadia areas of Phoenix, noting that there are also some in the Downtown Phoenix arts district and in Tempe. Convenience and walkability Family Development, a Palm Desert, Calif.-based infill developer, currently is selling single-level condominiums at The Ridge at Troon North in North Scottsdale. The company is also taking reservations for a development in the Biltmore area of Phoenix called Encue which will be a collection of single-family

attached residences. “Many infill locations allow residents the ability to walk or bike to many of their favorite spots,” said Vince Barbato, a principal with Family Development. “This convenience is greatly appreciated.” Great commutability Porchlight Homes has built several infill developments in Greater Phoenix. Porchlight currently is selling singlefamily homes in infill developments in Mesa and Chandler and recently broke ground on two more in North Central Phoenix that together will offer 30 lots.

“Many infill locations allow residents the ability to walk or bike to many of their favorite spots.” —Vince Barbato, Family Development

“At Porchlight,” said company cofounder Ryan Larsen, “we’ve built our business on being hyper-selective about where we build. Anyone who has had a long commute understands the luxury of living close to work. Proximity to jobs, top-tier schools, dining and shopping all have an effect on surrounding real estate values. Homes in good infill locations not only improve quality of life, but they also tend to weather real estate cycles better than the periphery.” Established communities “One of the most attractive things about buying a home in this type of development is that the community is already built up around it,” Rains said. These communities are particularly attractive to young, urban professionals because they don’t want to pay for the amenities you usually see in a master-plan, she said. “There are no amenities in these types of developments because there isn’t room, but they are close to where their residents socialize,” Rains said. “These buyers want to go out with friends and be able to walk home after. And they can afford to have a nice, new home.”

Once the sales agreement has been finalized, appointments are scheduled with the buyer’s personal design consultant, Rhea said, adding that at the first appointment, the goal is to gain an understanding of selections, establish a budget and select flooring, appliances, cabinets, countertops, backsplashes, bathtubs and shower-surrounds. Toll recommends allowing six hours for the initial appointment, he said.

An intriguing alternative If the thought of spending more than a day devoted to picking out your newhome’s finishes is daunting, Lennar Homes offers an intriguing alternative. Interior Logic puts together four to six packages of finishes — depending on the community — for their buyers, said Alan Jones, Lennar’s Phoenix division president. “We find that very few of our buyers aren’t satisfied with the choices offered by the packages,” Jones said. “If they don’t like what has been put together, they can visit Interior Logic’s design studio and choose their own finishes. But only about one percent of our buyers can’t find what they want in one of the prepared packages.” Lennar’s homes range in price from $160,000 to around $600,000.

Tips to prepare for your design center visit

Because you will be making so many selections, experts advise taking these steps before your appointment to choose your ﬁnishes:

Visit pinterest.com, houzz.com and

other design-focused websites for

inspiration, but keep in mind not ev-

erything you see there will be available through your builder.

Tour lots of model homes to get design ideas, then determine where

you’ll likely spend the most time in your

new home because that will inﬂuence upgraded design choices.

you make your ﬁnal selections, take advantage of that. You’ll be able to see what is available which will make your decision-making much easier at your scheduled appointment.

Check out the proprietary website offered by most builders only to

their buyers where you can get a head-

start on identifying ﬁnishes you like.

If you’re able to visit the design center more than once to ﬁnalize

your selections, do it. You’ll likely be living with your choices for a decade or more, so take the time to do it right.

Plan for the time involved in visiting

a design center. Williams [of Interior

Logic] said not all design centers are

available for weekend appointments, so buyers should try to take time off of work so they can focus on and enjoy their design center experience. —Reported by Debra Gelbart
