The appliance package includes a washer, dryer and refrigerator as well as a dishwasher and oven.

Also, home shoppers can visit the two-story neighborhood and have an opportunity to meet with the builder's preferred lender to become prequalified for a mortgage.

Among the programs available to qualified borrowers is a zero-down Federal Housing Administration loan at "historic low" interest rates, Welsh said.

A bilingual lender representative and a sales agent will be able to assist Spanish-speaking buyers, Welsh said.

"For buyers who meet eligibility requirements of that zero-down loan, they can buy a home at Mesa Verde with no money down and also take advantage of our special pricing and Avante's offer to pay for the closing costs," he said.

Four floor plans are available. They measure from 1,181 to 1,540 square feet and offer two or three bedrooms as well as 21/2 baths.

"In addition to living in an affordable, detached home, our residents can enjoy quality neighborhood amenities, which include a private pool and spa and a children's playground," Welsh said.

To visit, take Boulder Highway to Broadbent Boulevard, turn north and proceed one-quarter mile to Mesa Verde.

The models and sales office are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the sales event. For more information, call 921-8840 or visit avantehomes.com.
