Beazer Homes

8-9-21 Update- Beazer Homes was on the news last night because of a subdivision in North Las Vegas with serious problems. The residents there have severe drywall and stucco issues from expansive soil. Tiles crack, windows warp, and can possibly break. Drywall can even fall off the walls or ceiling. There are a few areas in the city that have expansive soil near the surface. When it rains, the soil expands under the post-tension slab. See diagram home on the right.

Is Beazer Homes Las Vegas A Good Builder?

Beazer Homes is a good builder in general. Building crews and soil are different in every subdivision. The advantage of buying from a national builder is that it’s easy to get press coverage and remedies if there is an issue. Ultimately, it was about soils testing and engineering, and the construction crew did not stop construction when problems were noticed.

This is another example of why having a Realtor who is also a former NV structural engineer working for you (free of charge) can only benefit you. When we view resale homes I look for structural and cosmetic issues for you – and I tell you immediately. I also look in model homes and know where previous issues have occurred. With how quickly homes are built in Las Vegas, you should work with a Realtor who is also a building expert.

Beazer Homes Las Vegas

Beazer Homes Las Vegas was named as an “Energy Star Partner of the Year” for the 6th year in a row in 2021. Beazer Homes is known for building a nice quality home with both “green” and “smart features saving you money every month. The savings start the moment you move into your dream home at no additional cost to you.

These features will result in saving you thousands over the life of your homeownership. Currently, multiple neighborhoods are being built in the Las Vegas Valley, two in nearby Pahrump, and one in Mesquite, just north of Las Vegas.

Beazer Homes is an affordable builder of homes in Las Vegas.  Well-designed floorplans that you can personalize add appeal to homebuyers. What a pleasant and welcome surprise! The company moves with the demand for different housing styles, as soon as they first become trends. Beazer was one of the first builders to utilize “Cluster Housing.”

What Is Cluster Housing?

Cluster housing is the sharing of one long driveway for multiple houses. It’s more like a skinny private street and cuts down the land use of a normal street, thus lowering prices.

More recently, Beazer has modified its exterior elevations to offer a contemporary exterior. These elevations modernize neighborhoods, and the change is mostly a facade. This makes homes very attractive while maximizing quality and comfort while at the same time maintaining energy efficiency.

In the townhouse/condominium market, the homes are built to provide surprising personal living spaces. Additionally, they offer a large outdoor balcony/patio area for entertaining. The “Lock and Leave” condo-townhouse market is very appealing in this area for millennials as well as businesses, snowbirds, and vacationers.

The Future of Beazer Homes, Nevada

There are currently 6 cities in the Beazer Homes Las Vegas area. Beazer Homes is one of the only major building companies choosing to build in five cities- Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Pahrump. and Mesquite.

We believe that this was a smart business move since Las Vegas and Henderson are running out of large land blocks. North Las Vegas still has 50% of the city’s original land available. Boulder City has a building moratorium, and Mt. Charleston is on the side of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest.

Much of the vacant land in the valley except in North Las Vegas is either privately owned, national conservation or recreational areas, or protected for wildlife. See our page about Southern Nevada’s future growth- Areas of Town – for more information about the city’s surrounding lands and future.

Growth will continue to expand outside the valley. Pahrump has established infrastructure and is only 45-60 minutes from Las Vegas entertainment and amenities. Pahrump has plenty of land for growth and is now a fast-growing community with a college and hospital. See our Pahrump Page.

Beazer Homes, USA

Beazer Homes started as a British company before establishing Beazer Homes USA. Their entrance into the USA market was in 1985 when they purchased Cohn Communities.

Their next acquisition was in 1986 when they purchased Gifford-Hill, a building supply company. This ensured materials would be delivered to their communities first and for good prices.

Two additional larger building companies were acquired during the next 7 years before going public on the NYSE in 1994. After that, Beazer Homes, USA, continued to expand with start-ups and acquisitions throughout 13 states. They opened their own mortgage company and title company servicing all of their communities.

Beazer During The Financial Recession

The 2007 – 2011 recession was especially difficult for Beazer Homes, USA.  Beazer Mortgage was investigated for deceptive practices and destroying documents. There was also a failure to disclose the business relationship with the title company to its customers.

To be fair, many builders and mortgage companies operating in Las Vegas were also found guilty of similar charges. Beazer Homes paid over 50 million dollars in damages. Since 2011, we view them as operating as exemplary builders.

Know that with every customer, we go through your contract’s financial numbers numerous times as well as the contract. We also read your loan documents, and title documents before you sign.

As a retired building engineer, (P.E., C.E.) I use my knowledge by doing weekly construction monitoring for you as your home is being built. After 25 years of selling homes in Southern Nevada, we know that this is where we have to continue protecting our client’s interests. (And the builder pays for you to utilize our services without charging you a penny.)
