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.

Great News! Home sales are up and more and more people are discovering the advantages of owning a new American West home. “Our home sales are five times what they were this same time last year and we’ve seen an increase in the number of prospective buyers visiting our communities,” said American West President Larry Canarelli. Larry attributes the increases to the economy, first-time homebuyer incentives and the quality of homes and customer service offered by American West. 

“It’s a great time for homebuyers especially first-time buyers who want the stability and guarantees of new construction,” said Canarelli. “While buying a foreclosure home may have initially seemed like a great deal, many homebuyers realize that even if they’re able to work with a bank, which can be very hard to do, they’re taking a risk. Foreclosed homes have no guarantees, no warranties and may have hidden problems or defects. With a new American West home, buyers get our first-class customer service, warranties and a home customized to their tastes and lifestyle.” 

To help homebuyers get into a new American West home, we are offering a “Stimulus Package” incentive for a limited time to help pay homebuyers’ mortgages. A portion of the monthly mortgage payment will be paid for up to two years for qualified homebuyers. 

At Lexington, our community located in Highlands Ranch, monthly payments start at $767 due to the “Stimulus Package”. Homebuyers are taking advantage of these low monthly payments. Lexington currently has over 40 homes under construction. 

“Our homebuyers are amazed by the price per square foot and quality we offer in one of the most popular areas of southern Nevada,” said Kevin Amico, American West sales consultant. “Lexington is currently located in the heart of the southwest, adjacent to Southern Highlands. It offers easy access to the 215 Beltway, the Blue Diamond corridor, restaurants, shopping and recreational opportunities including golf and biking.” 

Lexington features four new home designs ranging from 1,216 to 2,188 square feet with up to four bedrooms. Prices start at $188,500.

 American West is currently selling at 9 communities located throughout the Las Vegas valley. The new home designs range from 1,216 to 4,770 square feet. 

“Our buyers have the opportunity to pick their home site, the color of their home, the landscaping, how the home is actually plotted on the site and what custom features they want to include. It’s an extraordinary opportunity to get exactly what you want,” said Amico.

Homebuyers seeking the best in luxury, convenience and comfort are invited to visit Silverado Springs built by American West. Located in Silverado Ranch in the south portion of the Las Vegas valley, Silverado Springs is ideally located with all your everyday conveniences at your fingertips.

The beautiful two- and three-story home designs at Silverado Springs range from 2.363 to 3,790 square feet with up to 5 bedrooms and start at just $288,500. “We are a local, family-owned and operated company,” said Larry Canarelli, president of American West. “The open floor plans and flexible living areas at Silverado Springs are designed for growing families. Our floorplans have the flexibility required to reflect the lifestyle of the homeowner.” The homes feature great rooms, dens, game rooms, libraries and options for double master suites, depending on the floor plan.

“Our architects designed Silverado Springs while considering the environment and energy conservation,” Canarelli said. “Each home has received the designation of Energy Star® and Energy Plus for meeting and exceeding efficiency requirements set by the Environmental Protection Agency by our inclusion of efficient building products. This rating means that each home is at least 30 percent more energy efficient than current National Home Building Standards and 15% more energy efficient than homes that qualify only as Energy Star.”

Energy-efficient features include a 14-SEER natural gas heat and electric central air-conditioning with Puron®; radiant heat barrier roof sheathing; programmable setback thermostat; R-13 insulation in exterior walls and R-30 insulation in ceilings; Pro Installer E2S Complete Weatherproofing System; fiberglass front-entry door; vinyl-framed, dual-pane low-e windows and sliding glass door. Other highlights of the included features in all the homes are granite-tiled kitchen countertops, Whirlpool® appliances, front yard landscaping, pendant lighting over kitchen islands, Moen® faucets, and cultured-marble vanity tops.

The Silverado Ranch planned community features the Silverado Ranch Park, home to softball fields, picnic areas, dog park and skate area. Shopping opportunities such as Silverado Ranch Plaza offers residents Target Greatland, Ulta Salon, Nordstrom Rack and Pier 1 Imports. It is also in close proximity to the shopping and dining opportunities of the Galleria at Sunset Mall and Green Valley’s The District. The south location of Silverado Springs offers scenic views of the Strip, while Interstate 15 and the I-215 Beltway provide easy access to locations throughout the Las Vegas Valley.

“Silverado Springs is a perfect example of what we at American West have always prided ourselves: our ability to not only build homes, but the best neighborhoods and communities possible, in which families can live and grow,” said Canarelli.

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.

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.”
