San Joaquin Valley Homes (SJV Homes) was by far one of the most active builders in the San Joaquin Valley beating its own record in 2022 by closing 618 homes. It opened four new communities and closed three other neighborhoods. SJV Homes once again pulled more building permits than any other builder in both Tulare and Kings counties. In total SJV Homes pulled more than 600 building permits in 2022 – second only to one of the nation’s biggest builders, according to data provided by the Construction Monitor, which tracks building records nationwide. “We continue to have confidence in the Central Valley market and in our ability to build quality homes to meet the needs of our homebuyers and neighbors,” said Joe Leal, co-founder of SJV Homes. SJV Homes will open two new home communities in 2023 including Montebella in Dinuba, which opened early February, and Maplewood in Visalia, slated for a spring grand opening. In addition, the local builder expects to close its 3,500th home in March. It presently has homes available in the cities of Delano, Dinuba, Hanford, Kingsburg, Reedley, Tulare and Visalia. “Like every homebuilder in today’s market, we’ve faced challenges including inflation, supply chain issues and buyers who are cautious about high-interest rates on home mortgages,” Leal continued. “But our hardworking sales team helped more than 600 families find a new home last year. That shows us the folks in the communities where we build trust us and are confident when purchasing one of our beautiful homes in well-located neighborhoods throughout the Valley.” The following is a breakdown of SJV Homes’ current communities: Tulare County Montebella, Dinuba: 127 units Cypress Park, Tulare: 154 units Kensington, Tulare: 248 units Arbor Gates, Visalia: 91 units Greystone, Visalia: 187 units Vista del Sol, Visalia: 95 units Kings County Bella Vista, Hanford: 247 units Bonterra, Hanford: 300 units Hidden Oaks, Hanford: 108 units Sterling Oaks, Hanford: 106 units Fresno County Summerlyn, Kingsburg: 166 units San Rio, Reedley: 150 units Kern County Pheasant Court, Delano: 148 units Quail Run, Delano: 130 units 2023 Openings Montebella, Dinuba: 127 units Maplewood, Visalia: 138 units All SJV Homes’ projects are part of a joint venture partnership with Presidio Residential Capital , a San Diego-based real estate development management company.
