"It's so light and airy and provides the ability to mingle with guests while working in the kitchen," said builder Paul Wagner, whose company has been involved in local building since 1984. "It has a great room effect, and our buyers love it."

Wagner further explained that the company is now offering special incentives at each of the three neighborhoods.

The builder is offering up to two years of paid mortgage payments on approved credit along with no closing costs.

"The combined incentives result in substantial savings," Wagner said.

"It's really a buyer's market now. The truth is that when the market reverses to a seller's market, the incentives will disappear. Buyers should take advantage now," he said.
