Jimmy Jacobs Custom Homes of Georgetown set an all- time sales record for new custom home sales in the month of May. Jimmy Jacobs’ sales consultants sold 21 to-be- built homes and 12 lots, in communities throughout the Central Texas area. After twenty years in business, “This is the best sales month the company has seen since its start in 1988” said Jimmy. “We were just ranked the number one Custom Homebuilder for 2008 and 2009 is shaping up to be even better!”
Jimmy Jacobs Custom Homes VP of Sales and Marketing, Rob Jensen, attributes the company’s success to an ability to alter the product to fit the modern homebuyer’s wants and needs. “In the current economy, the trend seems to downsize. “Our customers asked for a new series of floor plans with smaller square footage, but still maintaining Jimmy’s signature custom design and details, and we listened. In order to accommodate, we hired an extra architect and formed the all new Premier series of floor plans starting at $259,000.” said Jensen. Though, a new series of plans is not the only change that the team at Jimmy Jacobs Custom homes has made, the homebuilding company also reduced prices making their custom homes even more affordable. Jensen explains that, current economic conditions allowed the company to take advantage of lower construction costs, enabling them to then pass the savings on to the customer. Jimmy is adamant about the benefits of buying in today’s economy. “In my 20 plus years of experience in the homebuilding industry I have never witnessed a better time to purchase a new home” he says. “Interest rates and building costs have hit an all time low, and prices within the industry are expected to increase in the near future. I feel very strongly that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.”
When asked about what the future holds for Jimmy Jacobs, Jensen said, “We feel strongly that there are a lot of new opportunities for community development in central Texas and this is a great time to expand. While other builders are struggling to stay in business, we have been fortunate to expand by moving into three new communities in the New Braunfels area, Newcombe Ranch, Las Brisas, and River Place at Gruene. We are also very excited about our newest Georgetown development, Estrella, located on Williams Dr. where we will be building a new model home soon.”
Jimmy Jacobs currently has five communities throughout Georgetown, and when asked to expand on communities that are doing well Jensen, said “Actually all of our communities are doing well. Heritage Oaks our active adult community for those 50 and better has shown a huge increase in sales as a result of our new series of homes and recently reduced prices.” said Jensen. Woodland Park, one of Jimmy’s flagship communities also continues to do extremely well with a variety of sized homes ranging from 2500 to 4500. The community also boasts low taxes, Georgetown schools and a brand new model in Woodland Park West.
“Shady Oaks, another one acre community developed by Jimmy Jacobs, has recently opened a new section of heavily wooded lots and is currently building one of their new series of plans, a model called the San Gabriel, with its spacious floor plan the model appears to be much larger than the 2400 sq ft. floor plan. Shady Oaks also offers easy access to major thoroughfares such as I-35 and the soon to be complete Ronald Regan Highway. For families looking for a community with lots of activities, Jensen says Berry creek in Georgetown is an excellent choice. Built around the highly acclaimed Arnold Palmer golf course, the community has a beautiful country club with lighted tennis courts, a pool, snack bar, and tons of recreational activities.
