Shea Homes Holding Lottery For New Livermore Homes

Shea Homes is building a master planned community in Livermore, Sage, and it’s turned out to be wildly popular. The first batch of home sites is already gone. A lottery for the next available home sites will be held Saturday.

The popularity has surprised everyone. Shea Homes Northern California President Layne Marceau said in a statement, “We’ve never seen anything like this. The model homes haven’t been completed as yet and the home sites sold out immediately to pre-approved home buyers.”

The drawing card - a community that will include a swimming pool, cabana, bocce ball court, fitness center, clubhouse, spa, yoga lawn, community garden, bike paths, art walk, wellness circuit, and “quiet spaces to recharge and refresh the body and soul.”

If you’re shouting “sign me up!” - here’s the nitty-gritty:

• Balance includes 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms homes; Square Footage ranges from 1,398-1,667; Prices before upgrades are $585,000-$635,000
• Synergy includes homes with 2-3 bedrooms and 2-3 bathrooms; Square Footage ranges from 1,254-1,789; Prices before upgrades are $540,000-$630,000
• Tranquility includes homes with 3-4 bedrooms and 2-3 bathrooms; Square Footage ranges from 1,646-2,006; Prices before upgrades are $645,000-$698,000

Even if you’re not in the market for a new home, this development will impact Livermore’s future by adding another $500,000 annually to the city’s coffers in property tax dollars when all homes are built.

Assistant City Manager Jenny Haruyama is pleased with the development, “The new Sage neighborhood will provide a variety of home styles with amenities such as trails, community facilities and artwork…all within close proximity to the freeway, open space, Las Positas College, and our wonderful downtown.”

More than two years of design and planning went into the Sage community.
