You will avoid paying real estate taxes on the upgrades
Back when we built in 2021, it was the worst of supply chain problems and still Covid issues. We were allowed to close without a single appliance. Since appliances were hard to get, they were ordered and stored in the garages of new construction homes. After the appliances were installed in the home, the roaches would come out. That made our decision for us. We got GE appliances from an appliance store (Sonny's Altamonte Springs) that backed us up after GE failed to repair after nine visits and just brought us a new fridge. We would still be fighting GE if we had gotten appliances with our build.
