Identify, Acquire, Design – The Secret to Paran Homes’ Success

Before we choose a homesite on which to build, we consider the people who will potentially live there. While we take pride in the house that Paran Homes is building, we understand that it will be HOME for someone else. With this in mind, we seek out convenience – with access to major highways and shopping, as well as quality of life – with highly rated schools, activities, and entertainment.

Paran Homes Logo

Once we’ve identified the best location in which to build, it’s time to negotiate! Our team uses highly-specialized, data-driven tools to arrange the best price, which enables us to pass those savings on to our home buyers. This method makes it possible for us to build the best homes in the most ideal locations. It’s a winning formula!

Now that it’s time to build, we consider the people for whom we are building. What do they need and want in their new home? Are they a young couple just starting their family? Are they mid-career, possibly with teenagers, and they want to expand their activities? Maybe they’re newly retired and are looking for ease and comfort in their life. Our design team considers all of these possibilities when creating a new Paran Homes community.

Paran Homes was founded on our intent to build with superior quality that will deliver a home our customers will love for years to come. Our formula to Identify, Acquire, and Design has worked for our company – and for our home buyers – since 2010. We believe that we have the perfect metro Atlanta home for you!

    The Ins & Outs of Active Adult Communities

    When it comes to 55+, active adult, or age restricted communities, there’s often plenty of confusion and questions to go around. Who can live in an active adult community? When does an extended visit violate the covenants? Aren’t there fair housing rules to worry about? What if a spouse dies and the remaining owner is under 55?

    55 and older communities have their own rules that vary from one to another, but there are some basic guidelines you can expect to see in the majority of the ones you’ll visit in your home search. We’ll touch base on a few of those, and hopefully give you enough information to ask informed questions of the agent representing the neighborhoods on your short-list.

    Does the Fair Housing Act Prohibit 55+ Communities?

    55+ communities near Atlanta ©monkeybusinessimages

    The Federal Fair Housing Act says you cannot deny housing or real estate transactions based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, and familial status. Age is actually not listed, so developers and communities can set restrictions on who can own property to some degree and within state law.

     

    What Do the Actual Age Requirements State?

    For the majority of active adult communities, it’s stated that 1 owner must be 55+, with an allowance for a spouse or partner that is 40+. Children over 18 are sometimes allowed as well, but it’s very rare that children under 18 are allowed to be residents. Children under 18 most often are limited to 30 consecutive days for visits, allowing time for grandkids and others in your life to swing in for up to a full month.

    Survivorship for a Significant Other Under 55

    According to the Housing for Older Persons Act of 1995 (HOPA), at least 80 percent of the occupied units of an age-restricted community must include one resident age 55 or older and the community must show an intent to provide housing for those 55 and up. This sets up an 80/20 rule for most communities to have some leeway for not only surprise children (traditional surprises, inherited surprises, etc.), but leaves room for spouses and significant others that are under 55 to continue to live and own a property after the unfortunate passing of the older partner. Again, this is flexible by community and subject to state laws, not just federal.

    The UPside!

    While considerations for your own circumstances have to be factored into your search for a community you’ll feel right at home in, the major upside of living in a 55+ community if you qualify is quality of life. You’ll live amongst people with similar values for property maintenance, and are less likely to experience a house next door full of partiers, loud music, or night owls that disrupt the neighborhood peace. Many of these communities have social groups that meet for gaming, hobbies, travel, and entertainment. The HOAs often have landscaping agreements. And, the floor plans are always comfortable with owner’s suites on the main floor, ranch plans, and low maintenance construction.
