Community Of The Week: Pulte’s Windermere In Ashburn

May 13th, 2008 categories: Community Of The Week, New Construction

A few months ago I wrote a post on Pulte Home’s new project in Ashburn called “Windermere.” Pulte had just begun the project at that point so I wanted to give an update since my last post.

Windermere is a smaller community featuring only 187 homes built for smaller families. The community is nestled on a premier lot off of Ashburn’s newest cut through, Croson Road. Directly to the south is the Broadlands, north is Belle Terra, east is Amberliegh, and west is also the Broadlands. Since we still have faith that Ashburn will one day host the metro, living in Windermere will be location gold mine only a couple of blocks away from the silver line stop.

To be honest, I am at times a little reluctant with selling brand-new construction that is new on the block. There is simply a lot of price cut risks, financing limitations, and a messy construction environment until the community has matured. I held off on showing Windermere in the beginning. Once I caved, I quickly found out that they are currently the fastest selling community in Ashburn and Pulte’s quality of construction had me thinking of buying myself. I didn’t pull that trigger but I did sell one of their town homes to some of my good friends. They are set to move in within 2 weeks.

I would quote you some of their incentives but truthfully they change all of the time. As a base, you can typically expect Pulte to give at least 10k toward closing along with paying the 1% loan origination fee. The great part about Pulte’s homes are that they come standard with sooooo many great upgrades that you may find that the bare minimum is enough for you without paying extra for them. I.E… granite counters, hardwood flooring, ceramic tile, granite in bathrooms, GE profile appliances, and more. Not a bad deal when you realize that a comparable re-sale goes for the same with few to no upgrades.
