ASK YOUR REALTOR about your financing options.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" size="2"&gt;The property tax assessments noted above are IN ADDITION to the regular property tax of about 1.25%. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" size="2"&gt;On transfer (upon the sale of your home), a &amp;quot;donation&amp;quot; of .05% of the sales price must be made to Lennar's Charitable Housing Fund. This is a deed restriction and cannot be avoided.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CAUTION:&lt;/strong&gt; Buying a new home is a very complicated process, and although the builder's sales team is generally highly qualified, they're working for the builder and NOT for you, the buyer. Read our &lt;a title="Tips for Buying New Construction" href="item/159902" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tips for Buying New Construction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;BRING YOUR REALTOR&lt;/strong&gt; with you on your FIRST VISIT to any of these new home developments. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" size="2"&gt;Call Linda Slocum at 661.670.0349 or email her at &lt;a href="mailto:Linda@SantaClaritaRealEstateBlog.com"&gt;Linda@SantaClaritaRealEstateBlog.com&lt;/a&gt; to make an appointment to see these new homes, or any other new developments in the Santa Clarita area.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</Description>
