Builder Offering Model Homes With Lease-back

[gregb]

First time I have seen an offering by the builder to sell model homes with a lease-back. Guess this must be more common than I was aware of.

The following model homes will be for sale as a lease back on Saturday, September 17th. Shea Homes will pay 5% of the final price (divided by 12) per month. The lease term will be 5 months with a Shea Homes Option to extend the lease on a month to month basis at the end of the 5 months.

Below is a virtual tour for each model home. What additional questions can I answer for you or your clients?

This is very common in many areas. Where I am from most model homes are sold and leased back by the builder. BTW, I would not use sales of model homes that are being leased back to the builder as comps in a residential appraisal as these are not sales of residential properties in my opinion....these properties are sold as investments with income from a commercial lease as the use of these homes is for a business/commercial use until the development is completed and the homes are re-converted into a residential use.

Common around this part of the country, often they include the model home furnishings in the price (or so Ive heard).
For my money, would not want the location of the Models, as they are high-traffic entries and exits from the subdivision.

Typical in my market too.
