If you're thinking about buying a new home in Ellis County, there's never been a better time to make your move. Between rising rent costs, interest rate uncertainty, and the perks that come with building new, Elmwood Homes is making homeownership more accessible than ever.
1. Rental Prices Are Still Climbing Renters in Waxahachie and the surrounding area are seeing rent increases year over year. Rather than putting your hard-earned money into a lease, investing in a home builds equity and creates long-term financial stability.
2. Builder Incentives Are Strong Right Now Elmwood Homes is currently offering up to $40,000 in design upgrades or up to $20,000 in interest rate buy-downs. These limited-time offers can help you personalize your home or lower your monthly payment.
3. New Construction Means Fewer Surprises Unlike older resale homes, new homes come with builder warranties, energy-efficient construction, and the latest smart home technology. That means fewer unexpected repair costs and more comfort from day one.
4. Ellis County is Booming From new schools to thriving local businesses, the Ellis County area continues to grow. Waxahachie offers small-town charm with big-city convenience, making it a great place to plant roots.
