D.R. Horton Hosts Extreme Three-Day Sales Event This Weekend

Jacksonville, FL — November 10, 2009 — If you’ve ever dreamed of homeownership, “America’s Builder” is making it easier than ever within 15 of its popular North Florida communities. For one weekend only, D.R. Horton is hosting its Extreme Three-Day Sales Event from November 13 through midnight November 15, with available total monthly payments from under $500.

“During this event, D.R. Horton’s mortgage division, DHI Mortgage, is offering a 4.875 percent fixed interest rate to qualified buyers. A qualified buyer also can get a reduced rate during the first year of 2.875 percent, and during the second year of 3.875 percent. This will save them thousands of dollars in monthly payments,” said Lauren Eastman, sales manager for D.R. Horton Jacksonville.

Currently, the nation’s largest builder has a fantastic selection of over 50 new homes in many design styles and floorplans that will be ready to move into before the holidays – Thanksgiving or Christmas, depending on your selection. With prices ranging as low as $69,990 to up to the $280s, buyers can own a new home for less than they would rent.

Additional incentives during the Extreme Three-Day Sales Event include zero down payment availability, and all standard closing costs paid, excluding lender required prepaids, when using one of D.R. Horton’s preferred lenders. Buyers also can take advantage of the recent extension to qualify for the $8,000 Federal Housing Tax Credit. Visit www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com for details.

Renowned for its award-wining home designs, quality craftsmanship and unparalleled affordability, D.R. Horton offers something for buyers of all financial levels and in all stages of life. Beautiful master-planned Aberdeen is just one great example of the builder’s commitment to providing an exceptional quality of life without the hefty price tag.

Aberdeen is a casually sophisticated single- and multi-family community where residents enjoy the best of both worlds: a private retreat, as well as convenience to all the business, educational, social and recreational opportunities the city has to offer. Located in northern St. Johns County, homeownership within any of Aberdeen’s five distinct neighborhoods is as easy as putting a key in the door to your new home.

“Four of Aberdeen’s 13 new model homes also are available for purchase,” said Suzanne Massey, new home consultant for D.R. Horton Jacksonville. “All are located on beautiful cul-de-sac and preserve home sites. Given its location and outstanding amenities package, Aberdeen definitely is one of the most highly sought-after residential addresses for this area.”

Within Aberdeen, D.R. Horton offers its standard and Designer Series floorplans. Multi-family homes range in size from 1,079 to 1,473 square feet, with condominium prices starting from $104,990 and townhome prices starting from $124,990. Single-family homes range in size from 1,022 to 3,402 square feet, with prices starting from the $140s.

Aberdeen’s resident amenities package includes a beautifully designed clubhouse, state-of-the-art health and fitness facility, and an aquatic facility. Outdoor amenities include scenic walking trails, a basketball court, children’s playground, community picnic area, and a sports park with lighted softball and soccer fields.

Nearby to historic St. Augustine and just minutes to Jacksonville, residents can indulge in a wide variety of local recreation. Venues for dining, shopping, sports, art, music, nightlife and much more offer countless ways to spend your leisure time.

The master-planned community also is ideally located in the highly rated St. Johns County school district, with new Creekside High School sited approximately two miles from all Aberdeen neighborhoods along Longleaf Pine Parkway.

Within all of its St. Johns County communities, D.R. Horton’s mortgage division, DHI Mortgage, facilitates the availability of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) loan program. This program provides financing with zero down payments for qualified applicants. You do not need to be a first-time buyer to qualify.

D.R. Horton continues to enjoy its well-earned reputation as an industry leader in innovative new home construction and sales management. Its exceptional portfolio includes a diversified mix of world-class single-family residences and multi-family communities. Currently, the company builds in 27 states and 76 real estate markets, and it enjoys the number one ranking in the nation for closings by Builder magazine for the seventh consecutive year. D.R. Horton also is the number one builder in Northeast Florida, a multiple Parade of Homes™ and Laurel Award winner and a recipient of the Northeast Florida Builders Association’s (NEFBA) prestigious “Builder of the Year” award.
