During the 30-minute prequalification process, Welsh said buyers may learn about various loan programs and the amount of loan for which they qualify at no obligation.

"With a prequalification letter in hand, home shoppers can tour the five two- and three-story models at the gated neighborhood with the knowledge of their ability to purchase each home," he said. "This weekend buyers can take advantage of Avante's special pricing on six homes ready for move-in at Denali."

Each of the neighborhood's five models is among the homes offered at special pricing, which took effect Saturday, Welsh said.

Priced from the $270,000s, the home floor plans measure from 2,320 to 3,134 square feet. They feature three to six bedrooms, 21/2 to 31/2 baths and three-car garages.

Highlights include ceramic-tile entries and granite kitchen countertops. Each home includes a Viking appliance package with dishwasher, cooktop and convection oven. All homes are Energy Star-certified.

Resident amenities at the gated community include a clubhouse with exercise room, private pool and spa, 1-mile jogging trail and playground.

To visit, enter Mountain's Edge at Blue Diamond Road, go south on Buffalo Drive 2.1 miles to Erie Avenue, turn left and proceed one mile to Rainbow Boulevard.
