Meritage Homes has been setting the standard for energy efficient homes for a number of years now. Year after year, they have been building homes that exceed the ENERGY STAR® requirements for energy efficiency, which helps to deliver a long and short term savings to today’s homebuyers.
Meritage Homes was the first national builder to make every home built 100% ENERGY STAR® certified. They have consistently built homes that achieved a Home Energy Rating System(HERS) with scores as low as 61, and introduced the first cost-effective NET ZERO home by a national builder.
A HERS Index Score can tell you so much about a home you are thinking of buying. Heating, cooling and water heating constitute the largest cost of homeownership outside of the mortgage loan. The HERS Index Score will tell you how well the home performs energy-wise. The HERS Report will outline the energy features of the home and the expected cost of utility bills.
With their unique building practices, Meritage Homes on average, are twice as energy-efficient as a typical U.S. home of the same size. With an array of money-saving features, from spray-foam insulation and low e3 energy-efficient windows, that cut heating and cooling costs by as much as 50%, to ENERGY STAR® appliances that use up to 50% less energy and water, their homes are EPA certified and provide energy-cost savings of up to 50%. That’s an average of $50,000 spanning a 30-year mortgage.
Meritage Homes are located in various communities around the San Antonio area, and one of their newest communities is The Meadows at Steubing Farm just off Dezavala and Babcock in the northwest. Phase II has already begun in the Meadows at Steubing Farm near Carnahan Elementary School off Babcock Road. Base prices range from $242,990 to $314,990, and square footage ranges from 1467 to 2783 with various selections of single story homes that have the option of adding bonus rooms to the large two story homes with games rooms, media rooms, and fancy outdoor living areas.
Why Buy a New Meritage Home? Besides the sustained excellence in energy efficiency that saves homebuyers money, this time of the year Meritage Homes offer nice incentives like closing costs, and title insurance policy to help homebuyers get the home they want with a little extra on the side. With older homes, there may be hidden, costly surprises. Plus, with a newer home, there are NO REPAIRS.
New homes are picture perfect from day one, and come with a 10 year Residential Home Warranty. Families can unpack and start living in their new space immediately, getting ready for the holiday season. That reduces stress and allows families to enjoy the lifestyle they want without the wait. Older homes often require repairs – costing money and delaying enjoying the home to its fullest.
There are two model homes at The Meadows of Steubing Farm for the buyers to view and to see first hand what it means to own a new Meritage Home. Buyers get to select from various floor plans with different elevations, and a list of interior and exterior features that include luxurious master suites and spacious kitchens.
One of the available inventory homes, priced at $324,900 is located at 13006 Waddle Farm, which is the Paloverde Plan #3256, and is the same house as the Model Home. It’s a two story, 2597 square foot home with 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2 car garage, sitting in a cul-de-sac. There is a formal dining room off of the foyer that leads to the spacious kitchen, breakfast area & family room. A game & media room round out the upstairs.
