Another price increase!!!!
 
Designer home prices raised!
Today they raised the price on all designer homes after a healthy increase on May 1st also. For instance the Lilly is up about $8000 since May 1st.

Yes, Begonia went up $800.00 this morning. Last fall it was $214,600 now it's $223,300 = $8,700 in 7 months. I have my design meeting end of August, so hopefully this is the last price increase before I lock in. Only place in the country that home prices are on the increase. So, if you have a lot, build as soon as possible.

Our design meeting is Sept 10th so hopefully this is the last increase. Probably all the add ons went up also.

Price Increases
 
I called and asked our sales person about the price increases and he said it is an increase in their prices and they are just passing them on. I had a price in mind for my final number so there goes a few upgrades. Oh well....supply and demand. Price you pay for a slice of heaven I guess.

Holy :censored:!!!
That is a big increase for such a short time! :faint:
We may have to rethink our TV dream.

Basically the same thing our sales person said this morning. He said the demand should really start to grow as they get closer to full build out. I think we are getting in at the right time as I think prices should really start to appreciate after build out is complete. The closer they get to completion the higher the prices will be I guess. We are building in the village of Charlotte.

Was anything added to the base homes or just a straight price increase?

George Bieniaszek 08-01-2012 01:03 PM

Some of the sales persons were saying that as the buildout comes closer, you may not have an option to personalize your homes anymore. The Villages will start building spec homes to speed up the completion process on the unsold lots.

What!!!!

Is it not locked in at the time of the lot being purchased?

Is there still a discount in place?

kjb921 08-01-2012 01:12 PM

No not locked in until the day of your design meeting. That is our understanding.

kjb921 08-01-2012 01:15 PM

November 1st discount goes to 3.5% and Jan 1st it goes to 3%.

Price Increases
 
You are not locked in until you make all your upgrade selections, have a final price and have paid down 20% of the final cost. The money down on the lot only holds that lot...doesn't lock in any prices for the home. The new price does not include any upgrades in the base house...it is just an increase in their cost so they pass it on. At least this is my understanding after talking with our sales rep today. Our one year mark wasn't until late November, but we got our design meeting scheduled for the end of August since it looked like the prices were increasing every couple of months. Didn't pay to wait.

resale homes
 
Don't worry - buy a previously owned home.
Frequently many upgrades are already there and you don't have to pay full cost for them.
