Gerstad Builders is offering an 11 percent discount on its homes at The Trails of Dawson Creek in Poplar Grove and Liberty Trails in McHenry.
For a limited time, buyers have an opportunity to shave up to $31,900 off the base price of a new home.
“It used to be, when we sold a family one of our high-quality, energy-efficient homes, that we only competed with other new-home builders. But in today’s economy, we find ourselves competing with bank repos and short sales,” said Roger Gerstad, president of Gerstad Builders. “To compete with these new market realities, we have reduced the base price of every one of our homes.”
Liberty Trails offers 1,292- to 3,177-square-foot ranch and two-story homes, ranging from $178,990 to $285,990.
The Trails of Dawson Creek offers semi-custom ranch and two-story homes. The seven ranch plans provide 1,292 to 2,170 square feet of living space (with base prices from $157,990 to $222,990) and the six two-story homes offer 1,872 to 3,177 square feet of living space (base prices from $204,990 to $244,990).
Design highlights at both locations include two to four bedrooms, 2 or 2 1/2 baths, kitchens with islands (per plan), breakfast areas, living rooms, family rooms, formal dining rooms, dens (per plan), master bedroom suites and attached two-car garages.
Decorated models are open daily or by appointment. For more information, visit
