🏡 NEW HOME BUYING TIP: Look at the TOTAL VALUE, not just the price!
When shopping for a new Lennar home in Iowa, one of the biggest things I encourage buyers to understand is what is already included in the price.
With Lennar’s Everything’s Included® approach, many features that can be costly upgrades with other builders are included as standard features. In the Des Moines market, Lennar highlights features such as:
* ✨ Quartz countertops
* 🍽️ Stainless-steel appliances
* 🏠 42” cabinetry with crown molding
* 🧱 Tile backsplash
* 💡 LED lighting
* 🪟 Energy-efficient windows
* 🌳 Sod and trees on applicable homes
* 📱 Smart-home technology
* 🛁 Tile showers and other upgraded finishes on applicable plans
Lennar’s current Iowa communities include locations across the Des Moines metro, with homes ranging from approximately the $300,000s into the $400,000s, depending on community, plan and homesite.
💡 Greg’s Tip:
Don’t compare builders by the base price alone.
Compare price + included features + homesite + estimated monthly payment + warranty + what you’ll need to add after closing.
That’s where the real comparison begins.
And remember, Lennar’s 1–2–10 limited warranty provides coverage for workmanship, mechanical/systems and structural components, subject to the applicable warranty terms.
Thinking about buying new construction in Iowa?
I’d be happy to help you compare homes, communities, included features and the buying process.
