%
 

Im loosing sleep again finding out 4% is back.

Really hurts for all of us that were told take the 3.5% as 4% will NEVER come back.

Really don't like hearing about it. End of discussion. I'm just Giddy!:cus:

Herve. If you heard that, I am willing to bet BIG money you didn't hear it from the sales staff. Or they might have said we don't know if it will happen again, at the worst. At least the sales people I have talked to, ours, the wonderful Jim McLaughlin and other folks stationed at open houses here and about don't push and don't make exaggerated claims, they don't have to. The houses will sell, because we the villagers go around shooting off our mouths.

We were looking for a lot for the house we just built and Jim McLaughlin told us of a number of lots in Pennecamp that had a $20,000 discount. We decided we might be interested a couple of weeks later and he said that deals gone. I asked him when something like that would come back and he said "We find out the morning the discount starts, the same time it is advertised and everyone finds out".

It comes and it goes, the discounts, we all know that here. They offer a discount at slower times of the year to keep the construction crews fully employed. They offer a discount on spec homes and lots pretty often to finish out a neighborhood.

4% discount
 

I agree. I think the 4% comes and goes and the sales people don't know about it until they announce it at the morning sales meeting. We were offered the 4% once and had to decline as the timing wasn't right. Then, when we were ready we actually called our salesman to ask if there were any more deals and he told us yes, so it all worked out. Glad to save the $$$.

Hi! Quick question. I know that there are $20K and $10K discounts on premier and designer home closings (if you're building) on occasion. But, what are the 4% discounts? Are these on lots that TV want to move?

4% on lot and house
 

Hi. We are building a designer on a golf course lot and the 4% included the lot and the house. It's which ever lot you choose! Great Deal. Good luck.

Congratulations. Good move. Vera and I took advantage of the 4%. Nerves were on edge. After you sit with the design person and finalize the house cost the 4% is deducted. At this point you know exactly what your total cost is. This includes the land. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info.

Hi CarGuys,
I wish you would quit losing sleep over it. Sometimes we time the market right; sometimes we don't. Some people bought homes (anywhere U.S.A.) in '07 before the housing crash.

Do you lose sleep every time your stocks go down? Sometimes we buy low, sell high. Sometimes we're not that lucky.

Some people bought premiere homes with $20k discounts. Some didn't. Some were lucky on their timing and got the 4 percent discount. You were satisfied with what you paid or you wouldn't have bought. Why begrudge someone else for getting a 0.5 percent higher discount than you got?

Begrudging it won't change anything; and life's too short to cry over spilled milk, no?

Excellent post PT.

Reminds me of the saying :

It is easier to look back and see what you should have done than to look forward and see what you need to do.

You can't beat yourself up over things that woulda, coulda, shoulda have been done differently. No?

I guess it's human nature until your aware of it happening.
