ORO VALLEY, Ariz., Aug. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Maracay Homes'
Center Pointe Vistoso community has
sold an average of one new home every 48 hours (100 homes in 200
days) since opening just under seven months ago. The success of the
community, located in the Tucson,
Arizona, suburb of Oro
Valley, offers a vivid snapshot of the national housing
industry's record-breaking growth, which saw 2016 new-home sales
climb 9.3 percent in the second quarter compared to the first
quarter, according to the Commerce Department.
"Center Pointe Vistoso is the
only option in this submarket with this level of product diversity
and amenities, which is a big reason one in every 11 homes started
in Tucson this year (excluding
age-restricted housing) has been at this community," Maracay Homes
Tucson Vice President James Attwood
said. "As the national housing market improves, Center Pointe Vistoso is driving the market recovery on
a local level."
The Maracay community accounts for 60 percent of Oro Valley's residential building permit
volume this year and 8.6 percent of new-home starts in Tucson, a city of more than 1 million
people.
Located on one of the final and best parcels within Oro Valley's Rancho Vistoso master-planned
community, Center Pointe Vistoso is
the largest new-home project to open in Tucson since 2008 and is reinvigorating an
area that has long been adored for its captivating views of the
Catalina and Tortolita mountain ranges. With interest in new-home
purchase opportunities far out-pacing Rancho Vistoso supply, the
region has been building pent-up demand for several years.
"Rancho Vistoso has been one of the most desired master-planned
communities in Tucson for nearly
30 years," said Maracay Homes President Andy Warren. "As new home lots became
scarce in the master plan, Maracay recognized the value of this
community and invested in the details to create a unique
opportunity that buyers are responding to."
The community comprises 343 premium homesites, located within
six strategically planned gated neighborhoods. Home sizes range
from approximately 1,400 to 4,000 square feet, offering a style for
every type of buyer, including singles, families and empty nesters.
Each neighborhood is connected by a dynamic, multi-purpose trail
system that passes by a butterfly garden and other gathering spots
before leading to the 6,000-square-foot luxury swim complex and a
large, grassy park with shaded playground equipment and picnic
stations.
Home styles feature a mix of executive, vacation (lock and
leave) and family designs crafted to keep pace with current
lifestyle trends and Arizona
homebuyers' preferences. Each Center Pointe
Vistoso plan includes FlexDesign® selections for optimum
customization. All homes are Energy Star® certified and include
Maracay Homes' LivingSmart® program for high performance and cost
efficiency.
