More Good News for Orlando New Homes
Posted by on January 27, 2012 | Comments
Only one month into the New Year and we’re already hearing more good reports about the housing market in 2012; especially for Orlando new homes. A recent Builder Online article explained that, according to a report released by Clear Capital, Orlando will lead the nation in home-price gains in 2012 with an increase of 11.7 percent. The overall national average will be 2.1 percent.
The number of foreclosures in the city is decreasing and new home building is on the rise, making Orlando a highly desirable city. Not to mention the employment and entertainment opportunities that are right around the corner at Disney World and other Orlando amusement destinations. With prices on the rise in such a sought-after location, you’ll want to hurry and purchase your Orlando new home while you can still get the best pricing.
As one of the area’s top Orlando home builders, those looking to buy a new home in this flourishing city will have peace of mind when choosing a Highland Home. We have several new home communities conveniently located to Orlando, and just a short drive from the opportunities and excitement of Disney World. With three to five bedroom new homes currently priced from the low-$100,000s and our $99 Moves You In special offer, buyers are sure to find the home of their dreams at the best price. Read More→
Orlando New Home Contest Coming Soon for Disney Employees
Posted by on January 20, 2012 | Comments
Next to Disney World, the Orlando new homes at Deer Creek, Andover and Mystery Ridge are the happiest place on Earth. Why? Because of all of the wonderful Disney employees who call these communities home. In fact, we love the smiles and cheerful attitudes that each person brings to our communities so much that we want to show our appreciation.
That’s why we’re announcing the “Why I Love Highland Homes” video contest, just for our wonderful Disney residents. To participate, Disney employees should contact Carmen Arbizu to set up an appointment to make a video by calling 407-593-2115 or just stop by the Deer Creek sales office. The video should explain your favorite part of owning a Highland Home or what you loved most about your Highland Homes experience.
The videos will then be posted on a special Facebook page. The video that receives the most likes will receive a special prize. However, everyone is a winner. Highland Homes will give you a $10 coupon just for participating. Read More→
Winter Haven and Lakeland Homes Prime Location for Job Seekers
Posted by on January 9, 2012 | Comments
The New Year is a time for fresh starts and new beginnings, and it seems that we’ll be seeing both here in Florida. Those shopping for new homes and new jobs will be happy to hear that Winter Haven and Lakeland homes will be in the center of an economic expansion, according to the recent Forbes.com article “Where the Jobs Will (and Won’t) Be in 2012.”
Both cities plan to increase their workforces at an accelerated rate this year as compared to other metropolitan areas in the country, and several key factors are contributing to this growth. In Winter Haven, the highly anticipated theme park, Legoland Florida, opened and brought with it approximately 1,100 jobs, and the Winter Haven Chamber of Commerce reports upcoming employment opportunities with CSX and planned retail developments.
In addition to the development in Winter Haven, Lakeland is home to many corporate headquarters including Publix, Geico and WellDyne RX, all of which have been in a hiring mode, and Coca-Cola recently announced expansion of their Auburndale facility. Read More→

We are excited to announce that we have expanded our presence in Pasco County and are now selling Tampa new homes in Dade City, Fl. at Sunset Hills. Sunset Hills is not only a new community for Highland Homes, but offers a new type of product for us – through a community partnership with Pasco County, every buyer will get $50,000 in Down Payment Assistance and pay no closing costs – wow!
We have always been Central Florida’s Value Leader and specialized in creative financing options. The amount of down payment assistance is the largest assistance program we have ever been involved with, and there are certain restrictions that do apply for buyers to qualify.
