Whatever your particular American dream might be, Essex Homes wants to help you make that dream a reality with their “Live the American Dream” incentive going on now through Sept. 30. Essex Homes is offering three levels of incentives – the Red, the White and the Blue – for buyers who purchase a home in Columbia, South Carolina.

New home owners will qualify for the Red incentive when they purchase a Premier Series home priced from the $120,000s. A purchase of a home from this series will result in the home buyer receiving blinds throughout the home, a refrigerator, washer and dryer and a garage door opener. This Red incentive will have your new home ready for move in; all you’ll have to do is add furniture.

The purchase of a home from Essex’s Classic or Prestige Series will present the buyer with the White incentive worth $5,000 in designer upgrades. These homes start in the $140,000s, and the incentive will give the homeowner the opportunity to play a role in the fabrication of their home.
