Any suggestions with dealing with building our dream house and what to expect. How are the prices determined and how can I be assured that I am not being overcharged? Are prices negotiable? I was told to build with the most basic options and then make the upgrades you want later. Thanks
My advice to you is TAKE YOUR TIME when deceiding how to build your home. Ask a ton of questions on everything you can think of. I picked my cabinet color but 12 hrs later I wanted a darker shade. The Villages charged me $250 to make the change. Really 12 hours later. Not real happy about that policy. Also check to make sure you wont have one of those stupid green transformers in you back yard.
