City Ventures Debuts New Home Community In Russian River Valley

SANTA ROSA, Calif. - Sept. 29, 2020 - PRLog -- City Ventures, California's leading builder of eco-friendly solar all-electric homes, is pleased to announce the Grand Opening of its Round Barn new home community. Located less than 55 miles from San Francisco at the gateway to the beautiful Russian River Valley and nestled within the rolling hills of Santa Rosa's historic Fountaingrove neighborhood, this collection of 237 farmhouse style townhomes offers the perfect combination of location, design, and lifestyle at prices starting in the high $500,000's. With today's historically low-interest rates, this translates to a monthly payment that is typically less than comparable rent in most of the Bay Area.

Inspired by the heritage of the local neighborhood with upgraded amenities and cutting-edge energy efficiency technologies, Round Barn offers traditional farmhouse architecture with 3 to 4 bedrooms in 1,735 to 1,925 square feet of living space, and first-floor dens which can be converted into convenient home offices or additional bedrooms.

"At Round Barn we designed a beautiful solar all-electric modern farmhouse in an incredible location. We also made sure our floor plans included the flexibility to create a home office or fourth bedroom," said Phil Kerr, CEO of City Ventures. "During these uncertain times, today's buyer will appreciate the security of owning their own 3-4 bedroom home at an affordable price.  Given today's historically low-interest rates, this translates to a monthly payment, which may be substantially less than what many are currently paying in rent around the Bay Area."

Inside the homes, City Ventures has installed an unusually high level of standard amenities, including hand-set tub and shower tile walls, Bosch ENERGY STAR® appliances, energy-saving induction cooktops, a hybrid water heater with heat pump technology, Schlage keyless entries, Internet-connected advanced home technology, the NEST® thermostat for complete home comfort and included solar panels that can be used to charge an electric car in every garage.

If today's real estate market is any indication of how fast these homes will sell out, buyers should hurry. According to Compass' most recent Bay Area Market Reports for Sonoma County, there were just 1.1 months' worth of existing home inventory in July, far below the six-month timeline considered to be neutral between buyers and sellers. This low inventory has in turn put upward pressure on median sales prices, which according to the California Association of Realtors® rose by 9.2 percent countywide between July 2019 and July 2020 for single-family homes and by 9.7 percent for condos and townhomes.
