Price Reductions Boost Savings on Move-In Ready
Estates to $350,000 at Bella Vita in Green Valley
“Hidden among all of the election news last week was a very important new home sales report that should interest anyone who has been waiting for the ‘right time’ to buy,” notes Bella Vita Sales Manager Julie Berg. “According to the U.S. Census Bureau and Department of Housing and Urban Development, September's sales rate of new homes was 2.7 percent higher than August, and sales of new single-family homes increased the most here in the West where they jumped 22.7 percent!”
“If you've been wondering how and when to take advantage of the lowest new home prices in years, you should know that this increase in new home sales is one of the signs many people have been waiting for,” Berg explains, “and apparently savvy buyers are already recognizing the amazing values in Solano County's Green Valley area. Last week Solano County reported the second highest increase in home sales of the nine Bay Area counties — up 149.5% in September over one year ago. And in just the last month here the average sales price increased 4.6% and the number of days a home was on the market decreased 11%. What does that tell you?”
“It looks like homebuyers who have been waiting for the market to “settle down”, are moving off the fence to take advantage of the biggest homebuying opportunity ever while the best deals are still available,” Berg observes, “and at Bella Vita in Fairfield's magnificent Green Valley we've made our best deals even better.”
New Savings up to $350,000
New price reductions at Bella Vita, an exclusive community of hilltop estates overlooking Green Valley in Fairfield, provide luxury home shoppers with an opportunity to save up to $350,000 in this distinctive enclave of impressive tri-level view homes. Homes all previously priced above $1 million now range from just $749,990 for 3500 square feet of custom-quality luxury (including $45,000 in designer upgrades), up to $899,990 for nearly 4400 square feet (including $65,000 in upgrades).
“Anyone who has been looking in the Green Valley area over the last year can tell you that this is an amazing price for a home of this size and quality in a location this breathtaking,” says Bella Vita Sales Manager Julie Berg. “And right now, with interest rates the lowest they've been since the beginning of the year, buyers can get so much more home and start enjoying it now. Imagine hosting a holiday party for family and friends in one of our magnificent hilltop estates.”
“I know it's hard for people to focus on the idea of buying a new home right now, especially with all the news coming out of Washington,” observes Berg. “But if buyers would take the time to look at all the hard numbers and key indicators — interest rates, inventory, time on the market, price and affordability — they would see a lot more positive news than they're reading in the newspaper headlines.”
“If buyers wait to act until they're reading about a market upswing, there's a good chance they will have already missed the best homebuying opportunities,” Berg explains. “That's why I'm encouraging anyone who is even thinking about buying one of our homes to come in and let me share with them the most recent market data so that they can make a more informed decision. I think they'll be surprised at what's happening here.”
Move-In Ready Hilltop Estates
Select homes up to over 4300 square feet are available for move-in; additional homes will be ready soon. Bella Vita offers seven different floorplan styles in an exclusive community of homes. Ranging in size from 3,492 to 4,386 square feet, Bella Vita's large three- to five-bedroom homes feature courtyards, libraries, bonus rooms, lofts, exercise rooms, tech centers and guest suites (per plan).
“We don't just have bonus rooms, we have entire bonus floors!” notes Berg. “Real guest living suites, with full baths, lots of storage, and some with separate sitting areas or courtyard access. These extra spaces are perfect for sharing these homes with parents, older children or anyone who appreciates a little privacy and some space all their own.”
Bella Vita homes greet visitors with stunning architecture and distinctive features, such as carriage-style garage doors, decorator-selected fixtures and beautiful entryways. In addition to wall-to-wall luxury, Bella Vita homes are designed with energy efficiency in mind and include features such as high output, tankless water heaters with programmable hot water circulation, dual air conditioning units and heating units with dual zone controls, motion sensors and dimmer switches on lights and high quality insulation throughout.
Situated in the hills above Green Valley, Bella Vita is minutes from Rockville Hills Park, a popular recreation spot for biking and hiking enthusiasts, as well as Green Valley Country Club.

The year-round excitement of Lake Tahoe is only two hours away.
