Tired
of throwing money away each month on never-ending and ever-increasing rental payments, scores of Orange County renters are making the move to homeownership at Sendero, the first village to open on the new ranch community of Rancho Mission viejo.
Sendero now offers 11 brand new residential neighborhoods, priced from the $300,000s to just over $1 million. Three of those neighborhoods offer townhomes tailored toward first-time homebuyers and existing renters: Lyon Cabanas, Lyon villas and Shea Homes at Sendero.
“Recent hikes in rental rates throughout Orange County and across the country are making homeownership an affordable alternative for many people,” said nadine Corrigan, vice President of Marketing for Rancho Mission viejo LLC, community master planners/developers. “As interest rates stay low, savvy renters who understand the strong financial 14 benefits and tax advantages of

Corrigan noted that homeownership continues to be an aspirational goal of most renters, especially those ages 35 and under. in addition, FORBES magazine reported this year that buying a home is much more affordable than renting in all of the 100 largest metro markets in the nation. And, according to the mortgage lender Freddie Mac, buying is an average of 41% cheaper than renting nationwide.
