Buyers Find Homes To Treasure

Home shoppers seeking top value in a new home and the established ambience of a master-planned community can find hidden treasures with Pardee Homes' exclusive, limited time offers at Moorpark Highlands. Available only at select Pardee Homes communities, the Treasure Hunt features just one "Treasured Home" each week at each designated neighborhood.

Offered at low prices, each Treasured Home is also movein ready, complete with upgrades. A recent example at Shenandoah in Moorpark Highlands is a Treasured Home offered at a reduction of nearly $90,000 from the original price. Interested shoppers can register at www.PardeeHomes.com/ treasure to get e-mail clues and text messages about the purchase opportunities of the Treasure Hunt. They can also enter a drawing for a $100 gift card from Home Depot.

"Our Treasure Hunt is a great way for the whole family to take part in the search for just the right home and just the right place to live, and our text message system will let you know immediately when a Treasured Home is released for sale," said Joyce Mason, vice president of marketing for Pardee Homes. "Best of all, buyers will be securing value they can treasure long after their purchase, from a builder who has been trusted for quality and commitment for more than 85 years in the Los Angeles/ Ventura area."

Buyers who purchase a Treasured Home can count on assistance from Pardee Homes' preferred lenders and a short escrow period. "Pricing, financing and convenience make a Treasured Home purchase highly worthwhile," said Gary Probert, senior vice president of sales. "Qualified buyers will find lending and escrow professionals ready and able to help them make the entire process as smooth and efficient as possible."

Buyers who have chosen Pardee Homes will also find the company's EnergySmart program, with features and systems that help reduce home energy consumption. "As the price of gasoline continues to rise, everyone is looking for ways to economize," said Mason. "An energyefficient home can help offset transportation costs, and this can mean a lot, especially to commuters."
