San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/05/2011 -- Brookfield has reported 19 gross sales in San Diego in one month, its strongest sales month since Aug 2009. According to Lora Heramb, vice president of sales and marketing for Brookfield Homes, there are several key factors at play.

"Brookfield Homes is assisting buyers with the purchase of a new home by paying closing costs and providing funds to upgrade flooring," said Heramb. "Buyers who qualify for a VA loan get the added advantage of Brookfield Homes helping them pay off their debt.

"With low interest rates holding, we're seeing more consumers with the confidence to buy a new home. Most of our buyers tell us they feel that they're getting a great deal on the most important purchase of their lifetime."

According to Heramb, one outcome of this recession is the return to the true values of home ownership.

"Our buyers are no longer caught up in the real estate frenzy, but are focused on the inherent value of a new home," she said. "Here's where they'll be raising their families and creating a lifetime of memories. It's gratifying to see so many people finding a Brookfield home that fits their long-term needs at price they can afford."

With two homes sold last week and 25 homes sold so far this year, Rockrose at The Foothills by Brookfield Homes is the best-selling detached community in Carlsbad year-to-date, according to industry reports.

San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/26/2011 -- With two homes sold last week and 25 homes sold so far this year, Rockrose at The Foothills by Brookfield Homes is the best-selling detached community in Carlsbad year-to-date, according to industry reports.

The New Housing Monitor of San Diego County's July 10 report shows Rockrose – averaging nearly one sale per week since the year began – is outselling its competition. As a result, builder Brookfield Homes has just announced another new phase release.

"Eco-savvy qualities, a coastal location and community amenities all add up to new homes at Rockrose that continue to be in demand," said Lora Heramb, vice president of sales and marketing at Brookfield Homes.

The new phase of six homes includes two of the popular Plan 1X floor plans, according to sales representatives.

"The Plan 1X has all the benefits of a single-story home, with the master bedroom suite on the first floor," explained Julie Harwood. "But then so much more value is added with a second story that includes a bedroom, bonus room and bathroom."

Located in The Foothills master-planned community near Cannon Road and College Boulevard, just minutes from the beach in Carlsbad, Rockrose new homes range from 2,116 to 3,875 square feet and have three to four bedrooms in single- and two-story floor plans. The eco-savvy new homes are now priced from $589,900 with up to $10,000 in incentives. In addition, Rockrose homeowners receive a very low tax rate of 1.2 percent. (1.2 percent tax rate example based on a sales price of $645,000. Tax rate will increase or decrease based upon actual sales price of new home.)

Rockrose is widely known as one of San Diego's most energy and water efficient communities. Every home at Rockrose exceeds California's energy standards by at least 35 percent and is pre-plumbed for solar hot water. Other standard features include tankless water heaters, high-efficiency furnaces with Merv 8 filters, WaterSense faucets, low VOC carpets and paints, water sensitive landscaping, and hot water re-circulating lines.

Nominated as Best New Community in the annual poll "San Diego's Best" conducted by the San Diego Union Tribune, Rockrose is steps away from a new state-of-the-art high school now under construction and just four miles from the beach.

All Rockrose residents are members of The Foothills Swim Club, a resort style recreation facility with junior Olympic swimming pool, children's pool, spa, paddle tennis courts, playground and barbecue area.

New home neighborhood by Brookfield Homes continues its status as best-selling

San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) --06/06/2011 -- With 19 homes sold year to date in 2011, Brookfield's Rockrose at The Foothills continues its status as the best-selling detached new home neighborhood in Carlsbad.

With new homes ranging from 2,116 to 3,875 square feet and with three to four bedrooms in single- and two-story plans, the eco-savvy new homes at Rockrose are now priced from $596,900 with up to $10,000 in incentives.

"Quality and value are the messages that resonate with homebuyers at Rockrose," said Lora Heramb, vice president of sales and marketing for Brookfield Homes. "Because we've set a new standard for water and energy efficiencies, our homeowners are realizing important savings on their utility and water bills."

According to a survey titled "What Today's U.S. Home Buyers Want," published by AvidBuilder.com on April 4, 2011, "Energy efficiency is no longer an upgrade in the mind of a home buyer; it's not on the wish list for homebuyers in 2011 – it is on the 'must' list."

Every home at Rockrose exceeds California's energy standards by at least 35 percent and is pre-plumbed for solar hot water. Other standard features include tankless water heaters, high-efficiency furnaces with Merv 8 filters, WaterSense faucets, low VOC carpets and paints, water sensitive landscaping, and hot water re-circulating lines.

These measures provide Rockrose homeowners with savings of more than $1,000 per year on electricity costs, according to Energy Efficiency in New Construction: Bill Analysis released by San Diego Gas & Electric.

"We've made it easy for our homeowners to save precious resources like water and energy and enjoy the savings that come with these eco-savvy features," added Heramb.

Rockrose homeowners also enjoy quality design. The Carlsbad single-family homes are among the Top 8 best-selling home designs in the nation, according to Professional Builder Magazine.

Rockrose is situated in a prime location, within walking distance to a new state-of-the-art high school currently under construction and just four miles from the beach. Rockrose homeowners receive a very low tax rate of 1.2 percent. (1.2 percent tax rate example based on a sales price of $645,000. Tax rate will increase or decrease based upon actual sales price of new home.)
