Hi everyone.
This is your Tampa Bay realtor Lance Mohr and in this video, I'm going to go over Lennar
homes in Tampa Florida.
I'm going to talk about the difference between the American Dream series and the Legacy series
by Lennar.
So if you're even thinking about looking at Lennar homes or if you're actively looking
at Lennar homes right now you really need to understand the difference between the American
Dream series and the Legacy series because there are some big differences between the
two.
Okay.
So let's start off and talk about the American Dream series first.
Now the American Dream series by Lennar are really is there to compete with builders like
KB, Centex, Express homes.
These are more your entrance level builders what I call level one builders.
So the American Dream series, you're going to notice you're not going to have homes with
a lot of attention to detail outside.
They're generally going to be a little bit smaller homes on smaller lots and the attention
to detail outside isn't going to quite be there like the legacy when you go inside the
home.
You're going to notice laminate countertops, 36-inch cabinets most of the homes I want
to say the vast majority of them are going to have nine-foot ceilings and no one I they're
going to have just your regular 40-gallon hot water heater and it's going to be a good
product.
It's still going to have your double paned low energy efficient windows and your r30
blown insulation up in the attic but it is a little bit more scaled back compared to
the legacy.
Alright!
So now let's talk about the legacy series.
Now the legacy series is the more upscale home by Lennar.
It has a lot more to it it's really more of their mid-level home.
It's going to be competing with other builders like DR Horton, Taylor Morrison, MI.
Builders of what I call a level 2 or a mid-level builder.
It's going to be quite a bit different than the American Dream series and you'd have a
little bit more into it.
So you're going to notice that overall the homes in the legacy series are going to be
a little bit larger.
They're going to be on larger lots.
They're going to have a little bit more attention to detail outside.
As far as the elevation, they're going to have the 30 dirt shingle roofs not the 25-year
shingle like the American Dream.
They're going to have the papered tile entrances, they're going to have a hybrid water heater
in the garage, a really nice high energy efficient hybrid water heater.
When you walk inside the home you're going to notice 10-foot ceilings.
When eyes in the back you going to have the thicker three-centimeter granite throughout
the home.
The cabinet trays are going to be 42 inch, raised panel, with crown molding.
You're going to have upgraded fixtures.
The one thing I really like about the legacy product is the energy efficiency.
You're still going to have the just like on the other series.
You're going to have the double paned well energy-efficient windows.
You're going to have blown r30 in the Attic but with the legacy series, you're going to
have radiant barriers.
Now if you don't know what radiant barriers are so it looks like aluminum foil up on the
roof and it's the underneath the roof in the attic part and this is going to keep your
attic about thirty to forty percent cooler.
So your utility bills are going to be a lot less.
The other really nice thing about the legacy series is as of right now it's a series that's
actually teamed up and are teamed up with Amazon.
To pretty much provide the first smart home in the United States.
So the legacy series has this.
So if you're a techie person you're really into the internet and technology and smart
homes you're going to love this feature in the legacy series.
So these are some basic differences between the two now there's two things and I recommend
to everybody, that every single home buyer does one when they're buying a new home.
Number one is that's to get a home inspection.
Keep in mind you're buying a brand new home.
You're not buying a perfect home and the second thing I recommend is hire a real estate agent
to represent you.
You're not going to pay any money to the real estate agent it's already baked in the price
of the home and what I'm going to do is I'm going to put a video I'll put a video up above
five critical things you need to know and do when you're buying a new home.
So I definitely take some time to watch that video.
