Rush to Buy at GreenDoor by Brookfield Homes in Ontario Fueled by Rising Existing Home & Rental Prices

ONTARIO, CA--(Marketwire - Oct 2, 2012) - As resale homes and rents climb in price, brand new homes at GreenDoor at Edenglen are selling faster and faster. Loaded with energy efficient features and green technology construction, these detached three and four bedroom homes feature up to three baths and up to three-car flex parking, and are priced from the $300,000s.

Online real estate data resource, Trulia, reported that by the first week in September 2012, both for sale home prices and rents had climbed steadily for seven straight months. Even as their price tags increase, most resale homes and rentals have little or no energy-efficient features. Meanwhile, brand new homes at GreenDoor are independently HERS rated at two to four times more energy efficient than existing, older properties.

Judging by the recent sales pace, Brookfield homebuyers at GreenDoor have recognized both the immediate advantage of low pricing, plus the long-term benefits of included features. Energy-efficient technology delivers an estimated $150 savings per month on utility bills, starting with solar panels. In addition, these popular homes include 50% more wall insulation, 20% more ceiling insulation and Solarban 70XL windows designed to keep 75% of the sun's heat outside.

Buyers moving up from older homes and first time buyers alike are sold on the spaciousness, open plan design and private outdoor spaces that GreenDoor provides. Beautiful and feature filled island kitchens include a Whirlpool® appliance package and quality Moen® pull out faucets above the extra-large, double-bowl sink. Tankless water heaters are another money saving feature, cutting water waste and delivering hot water to sinks faster.

Most floorplans feature a den or loft that may be transformed into an optional bedroom, or enjoyed as is, as a study, office or play area. Another striking feature that is unusual in this price range is GreenDoor's private yard that expands indoor living space. Ranging from approximately 1,710 to 2,054 square feet, it's not surprising that so many buyers are choosing GreenDoor.

Adding to the desirability and good sense of the neighborhood is its Edenglen surroundings in convenient Ontario. New buyers point to the easy-going lifestyle of having so many amenities within walking distance. These include community clubhouse, arcade-style game room, televisions, outdoor gas grills, resort-style swimming pool with children's splash pool, pool house pavilion, playgrounds, two half-size basketball courts, numerous rose gardens and pocket parks. Pinheiro Park is at the heart of Edenglen and community life includes special events, summer concerts and outdoor movie nights. In addition, hiking and bike trails. At the same time, HOA fees are significantly lower than many. Tax rates are very low at 1.06%. 

Many are now trading the nervous wait of a short sale, a fixer upper resale and the losing proposition of renting for the assurance of a brand new Brookfield Home in Edenglen. Buyers are urged to see for themselves why sales have climbed at GreenDoor. Handsome model homes are open daily and friendly sales associates are on hand to present the many immediate and upcoming opportunities that are available.
