Building discount
 
New information has it that they are trying to close out neighborhoods and if you build north of 466a prior to september 30 you get a 4% discount. This has been confirmed. Hope this helps somebody.

There was about a four percent increase on june 17 on designers which we beat by one day. So this new discount is actually a wash for us

That is good news. We are starting our construction the first week of August. I will confirm with our realtor.

Who confirmed the 4% discount? We are coming down next week to start the building process in Tamarind Grove. This would be great news for us. Thanks. Maybe see some of you when we are there.

My understanding is that the 4% discount is tied to making an appointment with, and using, the new Design Center to furnish your new home and receive the discount off the package, i.e. the home and the furniture. Check with your agent for details. Good luck and have fun!!!

I spoke to our agent today and he confirmed the 4% discount. He said nothing about it being tied to furniture only that you must start construction before September 30th (applies north of 466A only). He is setting us up with someone from the design center however so maybe it is tied to that. I will find out more info. This is great news because we were so disappointed when we could not finalize everything before the last price increase (our home was not sold). Now that our home is sold we can move forward and this is a savings for us.

The person from the Design Center is not for furniture, she/he helps you pick your flooring, tile, counters, light fixtures, etc., etc.

Thanks for clarifying re: the Design Center - makes more sense. For those fortunate enough to be able to take advantage of it, it should take some sting out of the price increases in June!

Hope you all have better luck than I did. A 4% discount was announced last winter. My agent e-mailed us to let us know. We took a few days to discuss changing our schedule, and when I called the agent, she told me the limited # of discount certificates were all gone in 24 hours. We got bupkus.

We are building in St. James & want a mid Nov. occupancy. Our agent e mailed us re. the 4% discount so we will order the home around 9/23 in order to get the discount.

Nothing was said about a limited number of discount certificates, only that the house needed to be ordered prior to September 30th. We won't be down until August 10th, sure hope that discount is still around and is not being limited. I think I will call our realtor again to confirm.

Hi paperboy - we will be building in St. James as well on Barksdale Drive. Also looking for a mid November closing.

I just confirmed with our realtor that the 4% discount is limited to the first 200 who book appointments with the designer team. Fortunately we were able to get our appointment and are all set with the discount. So glad now that we did not wait.

We just confirmed our reservation with the design center for Sept 14. This was the latest date that was still available. This will move up our start date by 30 days. For the savings, it is well worth it. Tamarind Grove here we come.
