If you were picked first and decided you didn't want it, it would go to the 2nd person that was selected. Some of the homes on my street had something like 8-10 people that had an offer to buy. I heard it was even more people in Richmond on most home sales. There was no offer/counteroffer or asking for conditions involved.
This is correct for new homes. The developer does not allow contingencies. The price is the price. 10% down in 7 days. Close in 30 days.
Sales in Lake Denham aren’t going quite so fast. But all the preserve/view lots did sell. But again no contingencies allowed. They do sometimes lower prices or offer things like washer dryer.
