18 Move-in Ready Homes at Mill Creek in Geneva and Reston Ponds of Sycamore

GENEVA, Ill. - Oct. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- With market indicators showing that real estate sales are continuing their upward trend, Shodeen Homes continues to uniquely cater to increased demand by doing what they have done all along:  Offer a variety of move-in ready homes available for immediate to 90-day occupancy at Reston Ponds of Sycamore and at Mill Creek in Geneva, its master-planned golf course community.

The latest housing numbers indicate that construction activity and home sales are robust. Additionally, the most recent data available from the Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller index reveal that all 20 tracked cities posted year-over-year gains, including the Chicago market, where home prices rose 7.79 percent in July from a year earlier. That’s good news if you’re looking to sell an existing home and move into a new construction residence ready for occupancy.

“With less competition in the resale market, many of our buyers are selling their resale properties much faster than they used to and are consequently needing quicker deliveries on their next homes, without having to seek interim housing,” said Nathan Amidon, Sales Director with Shodeen Homes. “At Mill Creek and Reston Ponds, we continue to construct and provide a healthy supply of fresh inventory homes available at various stages of delivery—from immediate to 90 days. This has proven to be a successful strategy for us the past several years.”

Amidon said 18 single-family inventory homes are currently available within a variety of neighborhoods at Mill Creek in Geneva and at Reston Ponds of Sycamore.
