The effective date was the date the President signed the bill, Friday November 6. It is not retroactive. However, first-time buyers who have been rushing the meet the November 30 deadline for the existing program need not worry. They can qualify under the new one. Existing homeowners who are also in the process of buying a home should consider delaying closing until December 1 or later to qualify for the credit.

LGI Homes Ranked High by J.D. Powers for Quality and Overall Customer Satisfaction

Houston, TX. In a recent survey study released by J.D. Power and Associates on builders in the Houston market, LGI Homes was ranked #3 overall in quality and #8 in overall customer satisfaction.

In terms of quality, LGI Homes ranks ahead of the big name national housing companies that build in the Houston area.

In the overall survey on customer satisfaction with homebuilders, J.D. Power reviews and ranks nine items, based on consumer surveys. These factors include:

Builder’s sales staff; builder’s warranty/customer service staff; workmanship/materials; price/value; home readiness; construction manager; recreational facilities provided by the builder; builder’s design center; and location.

Eric Lipar, CEO of LGI Homes said “We are really proud of the rankings based on the price point of our homes, as compared to the other builders who ranked high in the survey. We have always maintained that first-time homebuyers don’t have to sacrifice service and quality, for affordability. I am also really impressed with our team and our system when you look at the nine items that J.D. Power surveys.”
