The Hasson Company and Eslinger Homes Team Up to Cater to Different Buyers' Lifestyles at New Community

Date: July 17, 2008

These days, a million-dollar home is not a rarity in the Lake Oswego community. Many times, however, a completed home is dictated by the cost of the land it sits on, making it nearly impossible to build a 3,300 square foot home on a $500,000 lot for only $800,000.

Award-winning Eslinger Homes has built and sold many luxury homes in Lake Oswego for more than $1 million. And yet, the company recently found a way to build that 3,300 square foot home for less than $800,000. Their newest community in Lake Oswego, Morrison Estates, is a 12-lot subdivision with all the upscale features and exceptional quality of their higher-end counterparts - just on a smaller scale. The lots these homes sit on are flat and completely useable, creating a low-maintenance lifestyle for homeowners.

Marketed by The Hasson Company, the homes at Morrison Estates are priced between $688,000 for a 2,700 square foot home with a master on the main, and $738,000 for a 3,000 square foot home with a three-car garage, three bedrooms, den and a great room. The community offers residents the ideal location as well, situated two minutes from the Carman Drive I-5 on-ramp and minutes to restaurants, shops and other amenities.

Morrison Estates appeals to a variety of lifestyles. Listing broker and Hasson Green Team-certified agent Peter Dillenburger has seen two different types of buyers interested in homes in this unique community.

The first group includes buyers who are downscaling. These so-called "empty nesters" prefer smaller homes built with exceptional craftsmanship and luxury upgrades. The smaller, more manageable lots are also an attractive feature as they give these buyers the freedom to leave for extended periods of time with minimal landscape maintenance.

The second type of buyer interested in Morrison Estates is typically looking for a "home" rather than townhouse or condo. Many times, these buyers include new families with small children. For these buyers, the smaller lot size is not an issue since living on a cul-de-sac encourages children to play in the front of the home more than the back.

Eslinger Homes have been crafting their trade for more than 36 years. The company continues to provide a product that gives clients pride in living in an "Eslinger home."

The Hasson Company also continues its legacy of exceptional service in the Lake Oswego and West Linn area, selling more real estate locally than any other company in 2007. For the second year in a row, The Hasson Company ranks No. 1 in the nation for the highest average sales volume per agent, outperforming firms with 200 or more agents.
