New Homeowner Maintains Family Ties at Hudson by Landsea Homes
Placentia, CA – Madi and her partner had a pretty good idea of what they were getting into when they decided to buy their first townhome in the all-new, gated Hudson community in Placentia, California.
“My brother lives here,” Madi explained. “He was one of the first people to move in and we’ve always loved his home and the community. When we saw one of the model homes was for sale, we jumped at the chance to buy.”
Madi said she and her brother have always been close since childhood, even attending the same small liberal arts college in Wisconsin.
In moving into Hudson, a community of distinctively different townhomes, with floorplans ranging between 775 to 1,368 square feet and one to three bedrooms, Madi not only maintains a spiritual proximity to her brother, not to mention nearby family, but a physical one as well.
The couple selected a three-level, 815-square-foot, one bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom unit that fulfilled all of their needs.
“We love the layout of our three story home,” Madi said. “It feels spacious for two people and there’s plenty of space for both of us to do our own thing.”
A bonus, Madi said, was that the home came with included upgrades. “It has beautiful tiling, backsplashes, and sinks,” she said. “As soon as we saw the home, we knew it was for us.”
“That same day we saw it, we put down a deposit,” Madi said. “We knew someone else was interested, and we didn’t want to pass up on the 4.99 percent interest rate, which was the lowest rate we heard of at the time.”
By going with Landsea Homes’ preferred mortgage lender, the couple locked in at a great rate at considerable savings.
While the sales and lending process can often be stressful for first-time homebuyers, the Landsea Homes team made the entire journey easy and painless.
“To our shock, it was a simple and easy process thanks to the Landsea Homes staff,” said Madi. “There were a lot of unknowns being first-time buyers, but they provided information, answered our questions and let us into the home whenever we wanted to take measurements and see it.”
The couple are also fans of the renowned High Performance Home technology offerings that come included like leading edge smart home features that can be operated by phone through an app, including locks, the garage doors, lights and dimmers.
Madi is particularly fond of checking the home temperature remotely and setting her thermostat from her phone. There is also wireless internet and extenders throughout the home.
Barely a week into moving in, the new homeowners are still a little in shock at what they’ve pulled off, becoming 25-year-old homeowners in Southern California – one of the most desirable places to live in the country.
“It’s all very exciting. While it can be a bit scary to do something like this at a young age, it’s also great to grow equity,” said Madi. “We’re grateful to the Landsea Homes team for their support and guidance during the process.”
