Anthem open house features 100‑plus homes

ANTHEM – With all the talk about the Valley housing market being in a state of flux, many prospective homeowners might be confused as to what’s available–or affordable–when shopping for a place to live.

In an effort to show the benefits of living in a planned community, First American Title Insurance Company in Anthem, with the help of a core team of volunteers, is sponsoring a home tour from 11 a.m.– 4 p.m. June 2–3 to help Realtors and their home sellers showcase the beautiful homes available for purchase in the multi‑generational, master‑planned community. 

“We did this last August as a result of an idea from one of our Realtors,” says Bonnie Smith, account manager at First American. “Our team got together to run with it and was able to bring it to our real estate professionals as a way to bring the public to see our fabulous community with incredible homes and unique lifestyle.”

Featuring multiple home styles that include condominiums, cluster homes, traditional family and award‑winning country club home sites, homebuyers are offered a variety of choices to suit their respective lifestyles.

“Finding your dream home in Anthem with the lifestyle that is afforded homeowners here, is unsurpassed by any other community,” Smith says. “With the popularity of Anthem, we’ve enjoyed an unusually low ratio of resale homes available up until this point. One factor to measure has always been that a healthy resale market should not be more than 10% inventory available for resale to the number of homes built in a community. Anthem has sold approximately 9,500 homes and today there were 722 homes listed for sale.”

The Anthem lifestyle boasts a broad spectrum of community activities, events, and amenities such as fitness centers, biking, hiking and walking trails, golf courses, tennis courts and swimming pools. Team sport facilities, a water park, Daisy Mountain Railroad, performing arts center and regional library offer something for every member of the family.

Visitors will have the opportunity to preview more than 100 Anthem homes and get a firsthand look at what it’s like to live in there.

“We were voted Best Master Planned Community in America by three different professional organizations for the incredible lifestyle that is Anthem,” Smith says. “This place we call home is where you can live, work and play. It’s all true.

“We enjoy old‑fashioned fun and have access to new adventures,” she says. “This is a place to belong. A place where you can be as included or secluded as you like. To top that, the builder sponsors fabulous events for holidays and throughout the year for our enjoyment and the enjoyment of everyone throughout the Valley.

“We always hear that you get much more home for your money living in Anthem,” Smith says. And think about it, where in the world can you live in a place that gives you all of these amenities to use and enjoy just because you live there? I can’t think of anywhere.”

The tour begins at First American Title’s “Welcome Circle” located at 3701 W. Anthem Way, where information is available, including a list of homes and a community map. Anthem residents and business leaders will be on hand to answer any questions you might have about the Anthem experience.

“Last year’s event was a huge success,” Smith says. “This was truly a community event coming together to benefit the Anthem community, our real estate professionals and their sellers. With the combined efforts of all, we recorded sales, probable sales, generated traffic to the different areas in Anthem for resale and new builds, and promoted our businesses. There were 236 registered visitors to First American Title’s Welcome Circle, with over 50‑plus volunteers donating their time, energy and expertise to make this weekend possible.”
