Beazer Homes in Orlando Refutes Orlando Sentinel Report

ORLANDO, FL--- The Central Florida division of Beazer Homes responded to a recent Orlando Sentinel report on the home builder’s new home sales in 2008 with corrected data on its sales in the fiscal fourth quarter ending Sept. 30.

David Byrnes, (top right photo) president of Beazer Homes in the Orlando region, said that nationally Beazer’s new home sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 are up more than 10 percent over the same period a year ago.
The Sentinel neglected to mention that information even though it was included in a corporate Beazer news release that went to the Sentinel and other media.

In the six-month period of January through June 2008 the Orlando division of Beazer Homes closed on sales of more than 70 new homes at an average sale price of $235,000. The Sentinel claimed the division closed on only 27 homes.

“We are building multiple products in five active communities in Central Florida and we currently own more than 1,300 home sites here,” Byrnes said.

Byrnes added that Beazer Homes employs more than 70 housing specialists in Orlando.

“Beazer Homes is one of the region’s most active home builders,” Byrnes explained.
