This town is historic. So are the starting price and 20-year tax incentive.

Clayton, NJ - When active adult buyers heard they could buy one of three new home plans at the Villages at Aberdeen, with prices starting at just $179,900, it caused quite a stir. Hundreds of people flocked to the J.S. Hovnanian & Sons sales office to learn more. We are happy to report the excitement continues with news that two homes, the Fairmount and the Laurel models, have been built -- and sold in record time.

The buyers of these homes were “amazed" at how much home they got for their money. They also realized their early, “leap of faith,” not only bought them a quality built J.S. Hovnanian home, but also an exclusive 20-year tax incentive.

The new Fairmount, Rosedale and Laurel models are ranch style homes featuring 2-3 Bedrooms and 1.5-2 Baths. Visitors are falling in love with the “right-sized” homes offering open Kitchens, Master Suites with walk-in closets, spacious Family Rooms and Living and Dining Rooms perfect for entertaining.

Realizing there is a big difference between buying a new home plan and actually seeing and walking through a new home under construction, the company has begun construction on two additional homes at the Villages at Aberdeen.

“Buying a floor plan is typically for the most pioneering of souls,” said Stephen Hovnanian, principal of J.S. Hovnanian & Sons. “To take some of the guess work out of buying a new home, we are building more homes so buyers can see for themselves the quality elements and the wide array of available options in a J.S. Hovnanian & Sons built home.”

Given the demand we are seeing, we know these models will cause an even greater stir. To add a little more excitement to an already fabulous offer, buyers should ask a sales representative about how they can receive a $5,000 cash incentive.

According to Hovnanian, the South Jersey market has definitely turned a corner.

“We are seeing more and more buyers who have successfully sold their homes. These individuals are eager to take advantage of the incredible buying opportunities available in today’s market,” he said.

So join the excitement, come see for yourself what everyone is talking about in Clayton. Visit the Villages at Aberdeen. There has never been a better time to buy a new home. Call 856-881-1067 or visit HOVhomes.com for more details. Open daily 10 am to 5 pm.

Buyers at Villages at Aberdeen benefit from J.S. Hovnanian & Sons’ Gold Key Plan Frank and Patty Racioppi, homebuyers at the Villages at Aberdeen, sold their home in just three days with the help of J.S. Hovnanian & Sons’ Gold Key Plan. The Gold Key Plan, which helps customers sell their current homes, is one of the most aggressive contingency plans available.

“The Gold Key Plan is a great deal,” said Frank Racioppi. “We signed up when we realized that it’s a no-lose program. We put our money down and in 90 days, after abiding by the terms of the plan, if our house didn’t sell, we would get our money back. But our house sold in just three days.”

Although J.S. Hovnanian & Sons helps customers sell their homes, they also cater to the needs of homebuyers. The Villages at Aberdeen, located off Route 55 in Clayton, N.J., offers buyers a new opportunity to downsize to a home that offers the right amount of space. Beginning May 16th, three brand new models will be available for sale at the award winning community. The Rosedale, Fairmount and Laurel each feature open floor plans designed for today’s buyer ranging from 1257-1695 square feet.  These homes are starting from the historically low price of $179,900.

“My wife and I owned a large home in an area which was subject to high taxes; we were looking to cut expenses,” said Racioppi. “We wanted a smaller new construction home, and realized that not many other area builders offered smaller square footage homes like J.S. Hovnanian.” In addition to saving money by downsizing their homes, homebuyers can save even more with the Villages at Aberdeen’s 20-year tax incentive – a benefit that could save them thousands of dollars over the 20-year period.

Homes at the Villages at Aberdeen are priced from the $170s-$270’s and can be built to a buyer’s specifications. “Customers can visit our design gallery prior to purchasing to view, select and get a feel for the prices of all of the choices that we offer. We have a great design team here,” said Marie Kratz, sales professional.

“The design studio is a neat place,” Racioppi said. “At the studio, they didn’t just ask ‘What kind of flooring do you want?’ - they combined samples of all of our ideas and preferences so that we could see it, touch it and decide ‘This looks great!’” J.S. Hovnanian & Sons is an award-winning builder, with an eye toward easy living.

“Buyers choose the Villages at Aberdeen for the peace of mind they get through the great value, the builder’s reputation and the quality of construction,” said Kratz. “I spoke with residents from other area J.S. Hovnanian & Sons 55-plus communities,” said Racioppi, “and they all still loved their homes, which were in great shape even after five to 10 years. J.S. Hovnanian & Sons is a great builder. We found the right place, the right builder at the right time.”
