​Whether you are looking to relocate or just expand your home, you might want to consider buying a quick move-in home. But what exactly is a quick move-in home? Often, home builders start building a community before any purchases of homes have been made. They do this in order to give buyers a visual of what their future home could look like. The builder then will sell the already constructed house as a designer showcase home, or quick move-in.

Benefits of A Quick Move-In Home

Relocating is Made Easier
Moving into a quick move-in can make your move and transition into new change go a lot more smoothly. Rather than waiting for a new home to be customized and built, the keys to your new home are handed over in a shorter time frame, usually around 30 days. 

Many Quick Move-In Houses are Models
Sometimes, quick move-in homes were previously model homes, meaning, everything is already included. Model homes have all the upgraded features such as high-end cabinets, floors, designer trim work and other amenities. All the features being sold in the models are often a hefty up charge, but when buying a quick move-in, you are getting more for less.

Locked in Interest Rates
While building a home, interest rates could potentially rise, but when buying a quick move-in, you will not have to worry about prices fluctuating. Once you finalize with your lender after signing the contract, they are locked in for good.

​Although we live in one of the wealthiest countries, it is unfortunately not common knowledge that 1 in 3 families nationwide struggle to afford diapers, and that is why HomeAid is striving to promote awareness of the national crisis of diaper affordability. Builders for Babies was created to “help close the diaper gap and keep babies clean, dry, happy and healthy.” If we all take part to help make a difference, the impact would be monumental.
The HomeAid Essentials Diaper Drive is from now until Father’s Day and is partnering with builders, like Lokal Homes, across Colorado to try and achieve their goal of collecting 1.2 million diapers. HomeAid is accepting donations of cash/check payments, diapers, baby wipes and formula to help those in need of the essentials.
How can you help? Join Lokal in donating these fundamental items as they will be collected at our sales offices. You can also sign up to volunteer at the Builders for Babies event on June 21, 2019. Any donation, no matter how small will make a difference in the lives of those in need.
Other ways to donate:
“Give a little to make a big impact.
$40 provides 1 box of diapers for a baby in need
$50 provides a 1-month supply of formula for a baby
$80 provides a 1-month supply of diapers for a baby
$100 provides a 1-month supply of disposable diapers and wipes for a baby”
 
All donations will be taken to the event at the Broncos Stadium on Friday, June 21, 2019 then donated to 20 different nonprofit organizations across the state. Thank you for helping make a change.

​Collection Locations:

​​​ “The first thing Lokal Homes considers when building a new community is location,” says vice president of sales and marketing Carolyn Morrison. “If it’s not somewhere people genuinely want to live—somewhere with great schools and amenities—you won’t find us there. Being choosy about where we build has been vital to our success because more than anything else, that’s what’s important to our homebuyers. The Reserve at Registry Ridge in Fort Collins is no exception.”

            The recently opened community is just minutes from the foothills and only 10 minutes from Horsetooth Reservoir. “And although we’re southwest of Fort Collins proper,” added Morrison, “we’re only minutes from downtown and close to Loveland, too.”

            The Reserve at Registry Ridge offers two product lines—seven low-maintenance paired home designs priced from the upper $300s to the low $400s, as well as, two newly released single-family homes with walkout basements priced from the mid $400s.

            The boutique community has just 74 home sites total with a wide assortment of floor plan designs that are a departure from what Lokal offers elsewhere. “Every community is different, so you won’t see us offering the same four homes everywhere we build,” said Morrison.

            Both single-family home designs have three exterior elevations from which to choose as well as optional upgrades such as adding a fourth bedroom, three-car garage on select home sites, gas fireplace, finished basement or covered patio.

The two newly introduced single-family homes include:
The Max, a two-story home with three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a loft, study, 2,518 square feet and a two-car garage. It is priced from$ 471,990
The Qwynn, a two-story home with three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, loft, study and a two-car garage and 2,587 square feet. It is priced at $475,990

            A Marissa townhome design priced at $412,240, as well as an Alex townhome plan priced at $433,451, are ready to move into now.  Special move in packages are available on the two homes along with financing incentives for buyers choosing to work with the builder’s preferred lender.

             The paired home designs include:
The Marissa, a three-bedroom home, with 1,727 square feet, 2.5 baths and a two-car garage. It is priced from $388,990.
The Cayla, a smartly designed home with 1,931 square feet, three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a two-car garage and the kitchen is open to the dining and living room. It is priced from $393,990.
The Grayson, a three-bedroom home, with 1,934 square feet, 2.5 baths and a two-car garage. The two-story entry welcomes you into the kitchen and living room. It is priced from $394,990.
The Abbey, a contemporary home, with 2,108 square feet, three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a two-car garage. The Kitchen features a huge island and a walk-in pantry. It is priced from $398,990.
The Alex, a stylish home with 2,189 square feet, three to four bedrooms, a loft, 2.5 baths and a two-car garage. Touches include a covered patio, walk in kitchen pantry and huge master closet. It is priced from $403,990.
The Kendrick, a roomy home with 2,236 finished square feet, three to four bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a two-car garage. Owners will appreciate a study off the entry and an upper level laundry. It is priced from $408,990.
The Liam, a flexible home with 2,359 finished square feet, three bedrooms, 2.5 to  bathrooms, a two-car garage, main floor study or optional bedroom and a walk-in pantry in the kitchen. It is priced from $414,990.

            The Reserve at Registry Ridge is located just west of Hwy 287 off South Shields and Trilby Road. The enclave is surrounded by established neighborhoods. 

            “A big part of what’s made Lokal successful—and why we’re the answer for a growing number of homeowners—is that we’re building the right homes in the right locations,” said Lokal Homes’ vice president of sales and marketing Carolyn Morrison. “We work really hard to create homes that will not only be desirable, but sustainable and an enduring good value—not just a good price—for our homeowners. Emerald Ridge in Castle Rock is a perfect example.”

            Morrison is describing the flourishing townhome community in Castle Rock. Emerald Ridge’s low-maintenance homes are priced from the mid $300s and range from 1,622 to 1683 square feet. All the townhomes include an attached garage. The community has easy access to I-25, is close to wonderful restaurants in historic downtown Castle Rock, near the Plum Creek Golf Course and a short distance from the Castlewood Canyon State Park in historic Castle Rock. Although recently opened, the 45-home community is almost halfway sold out.

            Morrison pointed to one of the community’s innovative home designs, the Mollie, as an ideal example of the townhomes’ flexibility and smart architecture. “There isn’t any wasted space,” she said. “So the home lives and feels more comfortably and more open than comparable plans in other communities.” The Mollie design comes with two bedrooms, but has the option to include up to four, has an included main floor study with a bath, and can be configured with up to three total baths. The main floor features an open great room and an optional fireplace for entertaining. The kitchen includes a spacious walk-in pantry as well as generous peninsula with room for four barstools.   There is even a cozy home center off the kitchen, ideal for a study space. With a base price from $346,990, it is affordable without sacrificing space.
​
            A small handful of the popular Mollie home designs are complete and ready to own. For immediate move-in is a four-bedroom, 3.5-bath Mollie with a gourmet-style kitchen that includes 42-inch white cabinets, granite countertops and a tile mosaic backsplash. It is priced at $384,608. Special move-in incentives are available and up to $5,000 towards financing for buyers choosing to work the builder’s preferred lender.

            Emerald Ridge’s other home design is the Colten with three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and 1,622 finished square feet. An optional study or extra bedroom on the main floor adds an extra 266 square feet to its design. A front deck above the entry and an open great room design makes the home ideal for entertaining. Owners will also appreciate the convenient upstairs laundry and large linen closet. It is priced from $374,990.

            Morrison said that buyers should look forward to the industry-exceeding level of finishes and craftsmanship found in all Lokal homes. For example, she noted Lokal ‘s use of windows for natural light, Cemplank fiber cement exterior siding, upgraded fit and finishes that are included — 42-inch Timberlake cabinets, 3cm granite countertops with an undermount sink as well as Bradford Hardwood laminate flooring the in kitchen, nook and entry to name a few.    Options like fireplaces, barn door-style doors in select areas and additional bedrooms make the homes fully customizable to fit most everyone’s wants and needs.

“As the parent of a child who is a cancer survivor, I know firsthand the challenges facing many of the families that are assisted by Brent’s Place,” said Marcus Abramowitz, Lokal Homes Vice President of Human Resources. “I’m honored to be a part of a company that supports this remarkable nonprofit.”
         
Abramowitz is describing his personal appreciation for the Lokal Cares initiative, which works in cooperation with the local nonprofit, that provides housing for immunocompromised patients and their families by offering a safe living environment during their healing and recovery.

In addition to housing, Brent’s Place provides a variety of uniquely tailored programs and services for the entire family designed to help in the healing process.  

“When I came to Lokal in 2017 I was humbled by our owners’ relationship with Brent’s Place,” added Abramowitz describing founders Dave Lemnah and Ryan Lantz’s commitment to the facility. “In Lokal’s early days, both owners committed to partnering with organizations that made an impact in our community and Brent’s Place was a perfect choice. I can’t think of a more rewarding place to work.”

Lokal’s IT manager, Greg Shepperd concurred. “It makes me feel good working here and being able to help kids battling cancer. Anything we can do to make them more comfortable is great and Brent’s Place goes above and beyond to help the entire family,” he said. “I’m proud to be a part of a team that truly gives back to the community we work and live in.”   

As Lokal Homes has flourished, its commitment to give back to the community has gone stride-for-stride with its bottom line. Lokal’s Marketing Manager Nickki Pucher explained that the pillars of Lokal’s mission are integrity, passion, pride, commitment and an unrivaled customer experience. “Those fundamentals are shared by everyone in our company, from the top down and the bottom up,” she said. “We’re on a mission.”
