“SPECulate to Accumulate”: Why buying a spec home has great advantages

Let’s clear the air now, shall we? A SPEC home is not a home that has only basic features or low quality materials. A SPEC home does not sit on the most inconvenient of all lots in the neighborhood. A SPEC home is not used inventory. SPEC homes are really a great investment for both the builder and the buyer! But let’s talk about the buyer…

A SPEC home really has several advantages that accelerate and simplify the home buying process for prospective homebuyers. To make the process even sweeter, we at Shea Homes Arizona are offering unparalleled incentives to help prospective homebuyers who want to close and move-in before December 31.

What exactly is a SPEC home, you ask? SPEC homes are brand new homes that the builder begins construction on before it is purchased by a home buyer. SPEC homes are as they sound, speculative, but with great research and trend forecasting to back it all up. While some builders outfit their SPEC homes with lower end finishes, Shea Homes’ SPEC homes showcase the most popular and up-to-date options such as stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, wood flooring and more for an overall updated look in the home. These homes may not be the best option for the buyer that wants to pick out every detailed inch of their new home, but for the buyer that wants a quick close and nearly instant move-in, these homes are perfect.
 

Terence and Elizabeth Avery recently closed on an inventory home in San Tan Valley at Shea Homes’ Ridgeview at Johnson Ranch community. “We weren’t looking to buy a new home, but when we saw these incentives that we couldn’t pass up in an area we love, we had to pull the trigger,” said Terence Avery. “Our home was quick to close and move into since it was already built, and the features are exactly our taste. It couldn’t be a more perfect fit.”

Lastly, when you’re shopping for a new home and the floor plan you want isn’t built as a model in the community, it’s hard to picture the look, feel and flow of the home you are about to buy. While shopping for SPEC homes, you’re able to tour the very home that you could be living in. As we were listing all of these great advantages that SPEC homes offer on their own, we hope you didn’t forget about our amazing incentives we’re offering through the end of the year:
