San Diego builder experiences biggest new home sales month in over a year

March 30, 2011 - PRLog -- SAN DIEGO–March has been Brookfield Homes’ biggest sales month for new homes in San Diego in over a year, according to the builder.

“After months of waiting, buyers are starting to make their move in the marketplace,” said Lora Heramb, vice president of sales and marketing for Brookfield Homes. “By taking advantage of extremely low mortgage rates, plus Brookfield Homes’ added Spring Sale savings and incentives, the timing is optimal.”

With homes spanning from eco-savvy residences in coastal Carlsbad to affordable townhomes in Chula Vista, Brookfield Homes has witnessed increased interest and sales activity at all five of its local neighborhoods.

“The time to buy a new home is especially critical for first-time buyers who may soon experience a hike in rent,” said Heramb. According to Lesley Deutch of John Burns Real Estate Consulting, the hottest rental markets may experience rent increases topping the 10% mark annually for the next couple of years. In San Diego, Deutch anticipates rents will rise more than 31% by 2015.
