New Home Upgrade Pricing
I just purchased a new home still under construction and will be closing next year. Went to their design studio to look at the upgrades, but when I asked for pricing they told me that they won't give me the price until it's my time to choose the upgrades with their designer, they will call me and set up an appointment. They told me that they will give me 3 hours to decide what I want. I guess that's how builders make more money after selling you the house.
I asked a friend a list of prices she had when she bought her house. Hopefully some of you guys can add your lists here. At least give new home owners an idea on how much upgrades would cost them
