It took me twice to fully understand what you meant. While the door handles are an option before and after the price slash, there are some options that you have to get. So while the 453K is the base price of their 3500 sf home, KB homes are not building homes with no options. Instead, they only have homes with granite table tops etc making their price now 499K. So in a way, it’s misleading.
And 23109VC is right about the options. When you enter the model homes, there’s a list on the right of the entry listing all of the options…and that list is long. I saw the standard options, and there’s nothing to be going crazy about. I would have no idea how you would be able to imagine all of their options etc etc and settle on what you would eventually want.
