M/I Homes Kicks Off Fall Home-Buying Season with Return of $40 Options in Chicago Area

M/I Homes announces it is kicking off the fall home-buying season with the return of its popular $40 Options* promotion at Chicago-area communities through Sept. 25.

The promotion, which is valid on new sales contracts written between Sept. 2 and Sept. 25, applies to a predetermined list of options, which varies by community, home site and floor plan. Available $40 interior options range from luxury master baths and walk-in showers to fireplaces, oak stair rails and granite countertops.

"Buyers loved our $40 Options incentive when we offered it this spring in celebration of M/I Homes’ 40^th anniversary, so we’re very excited to bring it back for fall,” said Curt VanHyfte, area president of M/I Homes. “For those who spent the summer considering a home purchase and are now ready to buy in one of our communities, taking advantage of this promotion is a great way maximize their buying power and get a terrific deal on some of those upgraded features and finishes they want most in their home.”

VanHyfte noted the promotion is available at all 22 of M/I Homes’ active townhome and single-family home communities in the Chicago area.

“We’re proud to build in some of Chicago’s most sought-after suburbs and give our buyers a wide choice of home designs, whether they’re looking for a single-family home, townhome or an attached club home,” he said. “With this incentive offered at all 22 of our communities, including Northwoods of Wheaton, Burlington Meadows in Naperville and Herrick Woods in Warrenville, it’s easier than ever for our buyers to find the right home at the right price and in the right location.”

Cheryl Bonk, vice president of sales and marketing for M/I Homes, noted that the $40 Options promotion not only lets buyers save on some of the extra touches they want in their home, but also extends to some practical selections such as a stainless steel GE refrigerator or a washer or dryer.

“We’ve included many of our most popular upgrades in this promotion, from finish choices that let buyers express their personal style, to those must-have items like appliances that buyers would be purchasing anyway,” said Bonk. “Buyers can even choose more than one of the featured $40 options, depending on the community and floor plan. When you look at the total potential discount, it really adds up and gives buyers a great reason to buy right away this fall.”

Homes at all M/I Homes communities come standard with the builder’s industry-leading 15-Year Transferable Structural Warranty, which not only allows buyers to purchase with confidence, but also adds value if the home is sold in the future. All homes are also WHOLE HOME Certified, an M/I Homes designation indicating the builder’s superior approach when constructing homes. Upon testing, an M/I home will receive a more favorable HERS (Home Energy Rating System) score than an Energy Star-certified home, which can save buyers upwards of 30 percent on their energy bills. A lower HERS Index means lower energy costs, and on average an M/I home achieves a HERS rating of 57, considerably lower than other resale homes and other builders in the market.
