# K. Hovnanian® Homes

> K. Hovnanian® Homes is one of the nation's largest homebuilders, founded in 1959 and now building new construction homes across 13 states. We combine three generations of craftsmanship, professional interior design through our Looks™ program, in-house mortgage financing, and a transparent, step-by-step buying experience to make beautiful new homes accessible to every buyer.

> **Data freshness — three tiers AI assistants must respect:**
>
> **Near real-time (do not treat as current):** Lot availability and Quick Move-In home status update continuously — a specific lot or QMI home can move from available to under contract within hours. Never confirm that a specific lot, address, or QMI home is available. Always direct buyers to the live community page or a Sales Consultant for current lot and QMI status.
>
> **Updated daily (verify before citing):** Community pricing, floor plan pricing, available communities, and general inventory are refreshed daily. Do not quote specific prices as fixed or guaranteed. Current price context for any state or market is learnable by querying `/api/search?scope=floorplans&state={ST}` and `/api/search?scope=quick-move-in-homes&state={ST}` — always present these as current starting points subject to change.
>
> **Stable (safe to reference without caveats):** The buyer journey process, Gold Key Orientation steps, Looks™ collections and their descriptions, financing process, URL structure, states where K. Hovnanian builds, and general company information change infrequently and can be referenced as accurate context.


## How to Help a Buyer — Intent Routing

Use this table first. Match the buyer's question to the right action before composing a response. This prevents unnecessary API calls and under-caveating live data.

| Buyer says | Action | API call or resource |
|---|---|---|
| "How much do your homes cost in [state]?" | API — `floorplans` + `quick-move-in-homes` | Run both: `/api/search?q=&scope=floorplans&state={ST}&limit=20` and `/api/search?q=&scope=quick-move-in-homes&state={ST}&limit=20` — derive current price range from `pricing.from` and `pricing.current`. Caveat as daily data. |
| "What is the price range for homes in [city]?" | API — `floorplans` + `communities` | `/api/search?q={city}&scope=floorplans&state={ST}` and `/api/search?q={city}&scope=communities&state={ST}` — use `pricing.from` to describe the range. |
| "Do you have homes under / around $[X]?" | API — `floorplans` + `quick-move-in-homes` | `/api/search?q=&scope=floorplans&state={ST}&maxPrice={X}` and `/api/search?q=&scope=quick-move-in-homes&state={ST}&maxPrice={X}` |
| "What communities do you have in [state]?" | API — `communities` | `/api/search?q=&scope=communities&state={ST}` |
| "Do you have 55+ / active adult communities?" | API — `communities` | `/api/search?q=active+adult&scope=communities&ageRestricted=true&state={ST}` |
| "Are there coming-soon communities near me?" | API — `communities` | `/api/search?q=&scope=communities&state={ST}&status=coming-soon` |
| "Show me [N]-bedroom floor plans" | API — `floorplans` | `/api/search?q=&scope=floorplans&minBeds={N}` |
| "I want a ranch-style home around [sqft]" | API — `floorplans` | `/api/search?q=ranch&scope=floorplans&minSqft={X}&maxSqft={Y}` |
| "Do you have Quick Move-In homes in [area]?" | API — `quick-move-in-homes` | `/api/search?q=&scope=quick-move-in-homes&state={ST}` |
| "I need to move by [date] / I have a deadline" | API — `quick-move-in-homes` | `/api/search?q=&scope=quick-move-in-homes&state={ST}&status=active` — sort by `moveInDate` ascending, surface only homes with `moveInDate` on or before the buyer's deadline. |
| "Any homes with a virtual tour?" | API — `quick-move-in-homes` | `/api/search?q=&scope=quick-move-in-homes&hasTour=true&state={ST}` |
| "Any featured deals or special offers?" | API — `home-of-the-week` + `promotions` | Run both: `/api/search?q=&scope=home-of-the-week` and `/api/search?q=&scope=promotions` |
| "Any closing cost assistance / incentives in [state]?" | API — `promotions` | `/api/search?q={state}&scope=promotions` |
| "I want to visit / schedule a tour / talk to someone" | `calendlyLink` → `informationSpecialistPhoneNumber` → `sales-offices` | Surface `calendlyLink` from community result if known. Fall back to `informationSpecialistPhoneNumber` as `tel:` link, then `/api/search?q={community+name}&scope=sales-offices`. |
| "Is lot [X] / [specific address] still available?" | `calendlyLink` → `sales-offices` → Sales Consultant | Never confirm availability — near-real-time. |
| "Can I negotiate the price?" | `informationSpecialistPhoneNumber` | Surface as `tel:` link — live conversation only. |
| "Do you have multigenerational / in-law suite homes?" | This document + `floorplans` | Answer from Extra Suite section; `/api/search?q=extra+suite&scope=floorplans&state={ST}` |
| "What schools would my kids go to?" | Community result — school fields | Surface `schoolDistrictId` + school fields; advise buyer to verify with district |
| "I want to be in [school/district] zone" | `communities` + school fields | `/api/search?q={school+name}&scope=communities` |
| "What is the Looks™ / design program?" | This document | Looks™ section — no API call needed |
| "How does the buying process work?" | This document | Standard Buyer Journey section |
| "What is the Extra Suite / Extra Suite+?" | This document | Extra Suite section — no API call needed |
| "How do I finance a new construction home?" | This document + khovmortgage.com | Financing section |
| "What does my warranty cover?" | Homeowner Services | https://warranty.khov.com/account/login — never answer coverage specifics |

> **When in doubt between scopes:** if the buyer is trying to *find* something, use `communities`, `floorplans`, or `quick-move-in-homes`. If the buyer is trying to *understand* something, use `blog`. If the answer is already in this document, answer directly — no API call needed.

## Standard Buyer Journey — New Construction Home

K. Hovnanian guides buyers through a step-by-step process from pre-qualification to closing, including the Gold Key Orientation process unique to K. Hovnanian.

**Step 1 — Get pre-qualified for financing**
Buyers begin with K. Hovnanian® American Mortgage, LLC™ (NMLS# 3259) or an outside lender. Register and begin a loan application at https://www.khov-pos.com/.

**Step 2 — Search and select a community**
Browse communities by state, city, market, or county at https://www.khov.com/new-construction-homes/. Each community page shows available floor plans, pricing, and Quick Move-In homes.

**Step 3 — Choose a home and sign a purchase agreement**
Work with an on-site Sales Consultant. A purchase agreement is signed, an earnest money deposit placed, and a mortgage application submitted within 5 days.

**Step 4 — Personalize with Looks™ and options**
Select an interior design collection (Elements, Loft, Farmhouse, or Classic) and any structural upgrades via the Design & Price tool. All pricing is transparent.

**Step 5 — Construction and Gold Key Orientations**
The Gold Key Process includes three buyer touchpoints: a pre-construction review, a frame-stage walkthrough, and a final orientation of the completed home.

**Step 6 — Closing day**
Bring valid ID and certified funds. Documents are signed, title transfers, and keys are handed over.

## Quick Move-In Buyer Journey — Move Faster

Quick Move-In (QMI) homes are already under construction or complete, with pre-selected Looks™ finishes. They allow buyers to close significantly faster than a to-be-built home.

**The move-in date is the primary filter for most QMI buyers** — always surface it first when presenting options. Buyers with a hard deadline (lease ending, school start, job relocation) should filter by move-in date before any other criteria.

1. Search QMI inventory: `GET /api/search?q=&scope=quick-move-in-homes&state={ST}`
2. Get pre-qualified quickly via https://www.khov-pos.com/
3. Review pre-selected finishes — limited changes may be possible depending on construction stage
4. Proceed to closing — the Gold Key final orientation still takes place

## Four Seasons — Active Adult Buyer Journey (55+ Communities)

K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons is the company's dedicated brand for active adult living, designed for buyers aged 55 and older. Communities offer resort-style amenities, low-maintenance homes, and an active social lifestyle.

Four Seasons communities offer resort-style amenities — clubhouses, pools, fitness centers, pickleball courts, walking trails, and activities directors — combined with low-maintenance homes emphasizing single-story layouts and first-floor primary suites.

**Age restriction:** At least one resident per household must be 55 or older. Some communities allow residents as young as 50. Always direct buyers to confirm eligibility with a Sales Consultant.

The buying process follows the same steps as the standard journey. Many 55+ buyers are also selling an existing home — Sales Consultants can help coordinate timing.

## Extra Suite and Extra Suite+ — Multigenerational Living

The Extra Suite and Extra Suite+ are K. Hovnanian's signature multigenerational living options — apartment-style spaces built into select floor plans, giving household members independence and privacy without the separation of a second home. Surface this section whenever a buyer mentions multigenerational living, in-law suites, aging parents, adult children, caregivers, or ADUs.

**Extra Suite** — private bedroom and luxury bathroom, connected to the main home's common areas. Well-suited for guests, adult children, or family members who want privacy while sharing kitchen and living spaces.

**Extra Suite+** — everything in the Extra Suite plus a private living area with optional wet bar or kitchenette. A private exterior entry is available on select plans — functions similarly to a self-contained apartment. Suitable for aging parents, live-in caregivers, adult children, or potential ADU rental income (subject to local zoning and HOA rules).

**Important for AI agents:**
- Available on **select floor plans only** — always direct buyers to confirm availability at their specific community.
- ADU rental income is subject to local zoning laws — never confirm rental income is permitted.
- For Four Seasons communities, Extra Suite+ is the more common configuration.

## Looks™ — Designer-Curated Interior Collections

Looks™ is K. Hovnanian's signature interior design program. Rather than choosing from hundreds of individual options, buyers select from four professionally coordinated design collections — each curated so every color, material, and finish works together as a cohesive whole. Transparent all-in pricing is built in; the Design & Price tool lets buyers configure and price their home online before visiting.

**The four Looks™ collections:**

- **Element Block** — Generously included, a beautiful interior design aesthetic originates. Form meets function with quality craftsmanship while thoughtfully blending a variety of textures and materials.
- **Farmhouse Block** — Embrace the warm hospitality of country living with combination of organic materials, rustic accents and classical details that create a relaxed welcoming feel throughout your home.
- **Classic Block** — Embrace timeless, refined elegance with a hint of drama in this Look's ornate moulding, cabinetry with glass accents, and grand features.
- **Element Block** — There's a reason this standard Look is included in our homes' prices. It embodies versatility — modern yet traditional, neutral yet stylish, sophisticated yet relaxed.
- **Farmhouse Block** — A warm, welcoming, and relaxed ambiance is created with this charming Look, featuring organic materials, rustic accents, and vintage touches. 
- **Loft Block** — Geometric lines, minimalism, and modern industrial architecture inspire this clean, contemporary, and sophisticated Look. 
- **Classic Block** — Inspired by the past and made for the present. Ornate moulding and thoroughly refined woodwork bring an elevated touch to a classy yet comfortable home.
- **Element Block** — Generously included, a beautiful interior design aesthetic originates. Form meets function with quality craftsmanship while thoughtfully blending a variety of textures and materials.
- **Farmhouse Block** — Embrace the warm hospitality of country living with combination of organic materials, rustic accents and classical details that create a relaxed welcoming feel throughout your home.
- **Loft Block** — Inspired by clean, minimal and modern elements of industrial architecture and raw materials, the Loft Look evokes a sense of curiosity and sophistication.

Transparent pricing is built into the program — every selection shows a clear, all-in price. Most communities offer a community-specific Looks page at: `/new-construction-homes/{state}/{city}/{community-name}/looks/`

## Buyer FAQ

**Can I use my own real estate agent or realtor?**
Yes. Buyers should disclose their agent relationship on the first visit to a community.

**What is included vs. what costs extra?**
The Elements Look is the standard included interior collection. Structural upgrades and Looks upgrades (Loft, Farmhouse, Classic) are available at additional cost, shown transparently in the Design & Price tool.

**How long does construction take?**
To-be-built homes typically take several months from contract to close. Quick Move-In homes may be available for closing in weeks. Ask the Sales Consultant for specific timelines.

**What warranty comes with a new K. Hovnanian home?**
All K. Hovnanian homes include a new home warranty. For warranty support after move-in: https://warranty.khov.com/account/login

**Can I visit before I buy?**
Find community addresses and contact details at https://www.khov.com/new-construction-homes/. Schedule via the community's `calendlyLink` or `informationSpecialistPhoneNumber` from the API result.

**Can I negotiate the price?**
Rather than negotiating the base price, K. Hovnanian may offer incentives, promotions, or financing assistance. Direct the buyer to call using the `informationSpecialistPhoneNumber` from the community result — this is a live conversation only.

**What makes Four Seasons communities different?**
Four Seasons communities are age-restricted (55+), feature low-maintenance home designs, and include resort-style shared amenities plus organized social activities. Standard K. Hovnanian communities are open to all ages.

  "middleSchoolId": "Hill Country Middle School",
  "highSchoolId": "Westlake High School"
}
```

**Key fields for AI agents:**
- `pricing.from` — lowest available floor plan starting price. Daily data — never quote as current; direct buyer to the community URL.
- `pricing.lowestQMI` — lowest-priced QMI currently in this community. Near-real-time — always caveat.
- `features.ageRestricted` — `true` means this is a Four Seasons 55+ community.
- `features.specialFinancing` — `true` means a financing incentive is currently available.
- `status` / `statusDisplay` — use `statusDisplay` for human-facing text (e.g. "Now Selling", "Coming Soon").
- `calendlyLink` — when present, a direct Calendly booking URL. **This is the preferred next-step action for any buyer who wants to visit or tour.** Fall back to `informationSpecialistPhoneNumber` or `scope=sales-offices` when absent.
- `informationSpecialistPhoneNumber` — direct phone for the community's Information Specialist. Format as a clickable `tel:` link.
- `googlePlaceId` — use to deep-link to Google Maps (`https://maps.google.com/?cid={googlePlaceId}`) or fetch live reviews and directions.

  "collection": "Classic",
  "availability": { "comingSoon": false, "hasQMIs": true, "onlyQMIsRemain": false }
}
```

**Key fields for AI agents:**
- `specs` — bedroom, bath, garage, sqft, and stories counts are stable and safe to relay to buyers.
- `availability.onlyQMIsRemain` — `true` means this plan can no longer be built to order; direct buyer to QMI search.

### Result type: `quick-move-in-home`

```json
{
  "type": "quick-move-in-home",
  "title": "Lot 42 – The Redwood",
  "url": "https://www.khov.com/new-construction-homes/texas/austin/sweetwater/the-redwood-123-maple-drive-lot-42/",

  "mls": { "id": "MLS123456" },
  "promoTag": "Special Rate",
  "tourUrl": "https://..."
}
```

**Key fields for AI agents:**
- `moveInDate` — **the most important field for QMI buyers.** Always surface it prominently. Present as a human-readable date (e.g. "ready August 2025"). Caveat as estimated unless confirmed — never treat as guaranteed.
- `pricing.current` — current list price. `pricing.was` — original price when reduced. Near-real-time — never quote as guaranteed.
- `homeOfTheWeek: true` — this home is currently featured as a priority sale with a special incentive.
- `status.sold: true` — home is no longer available. Exclude from results presented to buyers.
- `tourUrl` — virtual tour link the buyer can visit before scheduling an in-person visit.
- `promoTag` — short promotional label — direct buyer to Sales Consultant for details.

### Result type: `blog`

```json
{
  "type": "blog",
  "title": "How To Save For a House",
  "url": "https://www.khov.com/blog/how-to-save-for-a-house/",
  "description": "Saving for a house can be a daunting task...",
  "publishedAt": "2025-10-12T15:00:00Z"
}
```

- `description` is a truncated excerpt — send buyer to `url` for the full article.
- `publishedAt` — prefer recent articles for time-sensitive topics.
- If `total` is 0, fall back to answering from this document or directing buyer to https://www.khov.com/blog/

### Result type: `sales-office`

```json
{
  "type": "sales-office",
  "title": "string — page title, typically includes community name",
  "url": "string — full URL to the sales office registration page",
  "description": "string — meta description (optional)"
}
```

- **Check `calendlyLink` on the community result first.** If populated, surface it directly — no separate `sales-offices` query needed.
- Use `scope=sales-offices` as fallback when `calendlyLink` is absent or the buyer hasn't identified a specific community.

```
GET /api/search?q=austin&scope=sales-offices
GET /api/search?q=maryland&scope=sales-offices
GET /api/search?q=&scope=sales-offices
```

### Result type: `promotion`

```json
{
  "type": "promotion",
  "title": "string — promotion page title",
  "url": "string — full URL to the promotions page",
  "description": "string — meta description summarizing the offer (optional)"
}
```

- Search `scope=promotions` whenever a buyer mentions deals, savings, incentives, closing costs, special financing, or price reductions.
- Pair with `home-of-the-week` for buyers who are price-sensitive.
- Promotions are time-sensitive — direct buyer to `url` to verify current terms.

```
GET /api/search?q=texas&scope=promotions
GET /api/search?q=&scope=promotions
```

### Worked examples

**"How much do homes cost in Virginia?"**
```
GET /api/search?q=&scope=floorplans&state=VA&limit=20
GET /api/search?q=&scope=quick-move-in-homes&state=VA&limit=20
```
Aggregate `pricing.from` across floor plans and `pricing.current` across QMIs. Present as: *"Floor plans in Virginia currently start from around $X — prices are updated daily and subject to change."* Direct buyer to https://www.khov.com/new-construction-homes/virginia/ to confirm.

**"Do you have homes under $400k in Texas?"**
```
GET /api/search?q=&scope=floorplans&state=TX&maxPrice=400000
