Chicago area residents and transferees alike who wish to make a move to a new home this summer should act now to tour homes for quick move-ins in select William Ryan Homes communities.
Homes are available for immediate move-in at Cary, and at Walnut Glen and Highland Woods in June. In addition, homes will be available for August/September deliveries at The Preserves at McDonald Woods.
“Inventory on attractive homes is low these days because so many buyers are entering the housing market as the economy improves,” said Todd Warshauer, director of sales and marketing. “The homes we have available are luxurious and include many custom amenities yet they are offered at an outstanding value. In addition, a current incentive of $3,000 toward closing costs, and our homeowners can earn a referral incentive of $1,500 plus an I-Pad for any referral that results in a contract being signed by June 30.”
