Foreclosure vs. A New American West home

Interested in a distressed foreclosure property? It can look enticing, especially one with a below-market price. However, the true price of a foreclosure seldom ends with the sales price. When you compare a distressed property to a new home from American West, it’s easy to see why a new home just makes more sense. 

What makes buying a new home a better value?

            ● With a new American West home, you are protected by a warranty.

            ● New homes are more energy efficient. Every American West home has received not only the Energy Star®  certification but also the Energy Plus certification. This means huge savings on your energy costs.

            ● Your new home offers better technology, construction and the latest design trends. You don’t have to do any renovating or updating.

            ● You get to choose your dream home and not have to settle with someone else’s choices. Your new American West home can be customized with your hand-selected design choices. It is “As you want it” and not “As is”.

            ● You are the very first owner. Everything is pristine, sparkling and brand new. There are no out of pocket costs for repairs.

            ● Buying a new home built by American West is hassle-free without the mountains of paperwork associated with a distressed property. Our process is quick and simple.

            ● Opportunity to live in the community and location you desire. You are not limited to where you can find an acceptable foreclosed home.

            ● Financing provided by an American West Preferred Lender instead of having to figure out the financing on your own.

            ● Peace of mind. Your new home is built by a local, family owned builder who has been in business for over 25 years.

The American West Difference

American West is quite proud of the fact that we are a local, family owned builder who has been building homes in the Las Vegas valley for 25 years and who plan to continue making the dream of a new home come true for our homeowners for many, many more years to come. Our homeowners insist that there is an “American West difference” that contributes to the enjoyment of their new home and neighborhood. It is unmistakable and definitely sets us apart. 

We have learned a lot about our homebuyers and our communities over the years and implement that knowledge into all of our neighborhoods. Like our homebuyers, we care about investment value and want our neighborhoods to mature beautifully. 

The American West difference starts with Larry Canarelli, president of American West. He is a builder who cares about Las Vegas and is deeply involved with every step of the building process. As Larry states, “I put my name on every home American West builds. I’m proud of that. Knowing from our homeowners that they’re pleased with their home brings the greatest delight to me as a home builder.” 

We combine unmatched value, the best locations, well-planned communities and the newest amenities to create the American West difference. These factors all support why we have won so many awards and why 43% of our homebuyers are repeat customers and referrals. We also include a lot of features in our homes that are considered upgrades elsewhere. We continually study custom homes and include these specific features in our homes. American West is the only homebuilder in Las Vegas that offers a 3-story home with an included elevator. 

The American West difference is further enhanced by buyer involvement with their homes. Buyers are given the luxury to plot their home, select their homesite, choose their home’s color scheme, pick their exterior design and choose their front yard landscaping. Our homebuyers are fully involved in the customization process inside and outside their homes because it creates great pride in the community. 

From innovative design and superior construction, to homeowner satisfaction, our homes offer exceptional quality and the best value per square foot of any home builder in Southern Nevada. We realize your new home will be a reflection of your family’s personality and values, so it’s with a sense of commitment, honor and pride that we build every American West home.

Happy 25th Anniversary!

Twenty five years ago today, a man saw his lifelong dream start to take shape when American West first opened its doors. American West originated with a young man of modest means whose family dreamed of owning a home. His goal became providing homes to families like his own. That man is Larry Canarelli and he has devoted himself and his company to building homes for the families of Southern Nevada. 

As a local, family owned company, we take great pride in the over 72 communities we have built in Las Vegas and the more than 15,000 families who have moved into an American West home. Every American West employee lives in Las Vegas and this has allowed us to be a part of our homeowners lives long after we hand them the keys to their new home. It is thrilling to see many of these families buy their first home from us and as their family grows watch them continue to move up to another American West home. A home built by American West is much more than four walls, a roof and a foundation. It is becoming a part of the American West family and knowing that your new home is built by a company who has been a part of Las Vegas for 25 years and who plan on being here for well beyond another 25 years. 

Larry attributes the success of American West  his dedicated employees, subcontractors and to our homeowners. Nobody could ask for a better lifelong ambition than to help make the dream of a new home come true for the families of Las Vegas. We send a heartfelt thanks to everyone who has helped contribute to our success over the past 25 years and here’s looking forward to the next 25 years!

American West Helps Homebuyers Reduce Energy Consumption and Costs

American West is joining forces with Nevada Energy to increase energy efficiency in our communities through the Energy Plus New Homes Program.  The program certifies homes with energy-efficiency standards that exceed both state building codes and the well-known Energy Star program. 

“American West is committed to building quality homes that our buyers are proud to own. Our homes will be certified Energy Plus,” said American West President Larry Canarelli. “It’s responsible building and American West is proud to participate.” 

So how does the Energy Plus New Homes Program beat Energy Star guidelines? New homes are rated on the EnergySmart scale developed by the U.S. Department of Energy. The scale is based on the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index that evaluates a home’s energy consumption. While Energy Star homes must meet a score of 85 on the scale, Energy Plus homes are certified at 70. In this case, the lower the score, the higher the efficiency. 

Energy Plus Homes are approximately 30% more energy efficient than code-built homes.  More efficient homes save you money and reduce your energy carbon footprint. 

All of American West’s energy-efficient features are included in our homes. These features include: Carrier® 14-SEER natural gas heat and electric central air-conditioning with Puron®, the environmentally sound refrigerant; R13 insulation in exterior walls and R30 in ceilings;  energy-efficient radiant-heat barrier roof sheathing; PROInstaller E2S Complete Weatherproofing System; fully-insulated, fiberglass, front-entry door; vinyl-framed, dual-paned, Low-E windows and sliding glass doors; 50-gallon, quick-recovery, natural-gas water heater; and water-conserving Moen faucets and showerheads.

“It’s an impressive list of energy-conserving products. These products are in addition to the building practices and products we already utilize to meet Energy Star standards and they come at no extra cost to the homebuyer,” said Canarelli. “Our homes are twice as energy efficient as a home that only qualifies as Energy Star.”
