One thing I’m reading that people don’t consider also is that when you buy a resale/used home, sure, you’re getting the landscaping, window coverings, any flooring upgrades for free, etc…but after 10-20 years, the design style is old and you really miss out on modern construction specs such as better insulation, full cat-5e wiring and cable all over the house, dual zone air-con, etc…
Not to mention that many folks will want to rip out all the old freebies anyways and put in their own window coverings, flooring etc so that’s a total waste of time and money to rip up and re-install.
Even 5 year old things SHOULD be pretty worthless after so many years of use. In my view, any used item is an auto 50% off already since you didn’t select or pick it compared with buying new and your own designs.
The main thing with this builder is they have very little competition now in 4S since Silhouette is completely shutdown (John Laing) and for folks who want a NEW home and a driveway, Chanteclair is the only option.
All the homes being reserved in 1 hour means they left some money on the table so it wouldn’t surprise me if pricing for the next phase goes higher.
15% is way too high I think for most folks when if comes to what MOST folks spend for landscaping.
Also, you don’t have to get hardwood floors or shutters…I personally like carpet myself.
