Q: Some say a good value is hard to find. If you’ve been following the housing market these past few years you know the bubble has burst in epic proportions. And there are deals to be had everywhere. But are some too good to be true?

A: The short answer is yes, some are. But this one you have to see to believe. Jacobs Custom Homes, a division of The Jacobs Companies, is offering new construction homes on acre lots that start at $299,900 in the historic village of Gurnee.

The housing market is a different animal these days. Who really knows if the bottom has actually hit, when interest rates will begin to climb, will mortgages be easily accessible once again and should I buy new construction or risk taking my chances on a short sale. Let’s cut through all the mumbo jumbo and present the facts here. We can all agree that real estate is at an all time low, it is a buyer’s market and we all know it. If you need to move, now is the time to buy, not only to secure future investments that could provide real pay offs long-term, but to get an incredible value for the money.

In this market, buyers can actually afford what they never thought they could afford.

Enter Coventry Estates:
A beautifully landscaped community with 7 available lots. Full one acre lots to be exact. Coventry Estates is located in the village of Gurnee just a mile northeast of the Grand Avenue Exit.. The community sits just past the intersection of Dilleys and Stearns School Road. Veteran Builder, Jacobs Custom Homes, is offering smart buyers the opportunity to own a 2-story, semi-custom, single-family home with more than 2,500 ft. of living space, 4 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, partial basements with crawl, attached 2-car garage and city sewer and water. In addition, buyers can customize the plans to fit their needs. The highly regarded Gurnee schools service this community which is a big plus for families.

It’s a buyers dream come true. A perfect marriage of the best of the best. First, there is the land, an entire acre to spread your wings and do whatever you want. Perhaps it is the future site of a pool, additional garage space for the kids, potential room addition or just to be that far away from your neighbor. This is not city living! Finally, property to call your own. In addition, you get a 2,557 sq ft. house; your home sweet home to provide shelter and warmth for your family. And last, but not least, you are living in an established community of upper bracket homes.

And let’s not forget about the location. Coventry Estates is minutes to the expressway which is a direct commute to the city, minutes to the largest amusement park in the state, and close to an incredible water park, premier upscale outlet malls, bike trails and forest preserves. Just a few miles east is the shores of Lake Michigan; just west is the Chain of Lakes and the Fox River. With Gurnee’s hometown feel, Coventry Estates is a great place to call home.

Serious buyers need to take advantage of this incredible pricing and fast. With this desirable location, amazing amenities, schools and recreational opportunities, these 7 residences will not be on the market for long. Jacobs will be selling these homes on a first come first serve basis.
