By now, everyone is fully aware that the real estate market is picking up nationwide, which means home prices and mortgage interest rates are on the rise. Because of these increases, it is becoming harder and harder for home buyers to find good deals on quality homes. At Gerstad, we have been able to keep our prices affordable and our interest rates low for the time being, but we know these deals won’t last too much longer.

If you’re looking for a great value on a McHenry home, don’t miss out on the opportunity to purchase our Bailey model at Liberty Trails for just $239,900. Originally priced at $265,195, this home is priced to sell and will be move-in ready within the next few weeks. This beautiful ranch plan offers 1,830 square feet with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a two-car garage and a full walk out basement that when finished would add an additional 1,830 square feet to the home.

Because of its features and floor plan, this home would be perfect for a growing family who could convert the study into a third bedroom or add extra living, entertaining or storage space by finishing the basement. Empty nesters will also love this home because it offers a smaller, yet still spacious, design for one-story living.

Already this year, we have been able to sell four homes in this McHenry new homes community, and we have contracts on an additional three homes. This is due to the fact that buyers enjoy a wide variety of floor plan and customization options all without a hefty price tag. At Liberty Trails, we offer six ranch plans and eight two-story plans priced from as low as the $190,000s. All of these homes include 9-foot ceilings on the main level, formal dining rooms, fireside sitting rooms and professionally designed kitchens.
