In a program designed to increase the opportunity for more consumers to achieve the American dream of home ownership, Brayson Homes has initiated a program which offers a buyer incentive worth $15,000 to purchasers of its “build to order” homes in the Greenville, S. C., and Metro Atlanta markets.

The promotion, which opened on Friday, Aug. 22, 2008, and ends on Friday, Oct. 31, 2008, can be used toward upgrading designer features or toward closing costs on “build to order” homes from the company. The offer applies to all purchasers of Brayson’s “build to order” homes with the stipulation that buyers must contract and close through BH Financial. Potential homebuyers should also be aware that DPA, “Down Payment Assistance,” will not be available after Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2008. FHA loans will now require at least 3-5% down to be paid by the purchaser for home loans.

Brayson Homes officials also noted that persons who quality are also eligible for the federal government’s new $7,500 refundable tax credit which was a part of the housing stimulus bill which became law during July. The tax credit is available to first-time homebuyers and those who have not owned a home in the past three years and who meet the income limits of the program. Complete details of the housing stimulus tax credit can be found here. More information about Brayson Homes’ buyer incentive program and the federal housing stimulus bill can also be obtained by contacting the new home advisers at one of Brayson’s communities in the Metro Atlanta and Greenville, S. C., markets. The company website, which includes a listing of Brayson’s communities and new home advisers, can be found at www.braysonhomes.com. The company’s Greenville market includes communities in Greenville, Anderson, Spartanburg, and Simpsonville, S. C.

Metro Atlanta-based Brayson Homes, which was founded in 1977, has sold over 10,000 new homes during its more than 30-year history. The company is active in 10 different counties in the Atlanta Metro region, including Cherokee, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Forsyth, Gwinnett, Henry, Newton, Paulding and South Fulton Counties. Outside the Metro Atlanta area, the company is now building new communities in Augusta, Ga., and has five current communities in Greenville, Spartanburg, Simpsonville, and Anderson in South Carolina.
