Hello, everyone!!! It has been a minute since i sent in a blog.....here is my update!! I decided NOT to purchase the Belford or the Palermo, neither one of them really gave me what i wanted, especially in the basement. So, i went around MD, visiting all the model homes this development offered. I finally decided to go with the Jefferson, eventhough it was at the top of my budget, i could get it and now "upgrade the heck" out of it, and still be satisfied. Yesterday i went to to The Preserves to complete a cost estimate and look at lots, etc. I had decided on building the Jefferson Square, i so loved the model....once i priced this model with just "some" of the upgrades i wanted, i was over my limit....needless to day, i was upset. The Sales REpresentative saw the disappointment in my face and said, "I do have a home that is not on the board, its not one of our regular selling homes, but i can build it here for you if you would like." she then took out the floorplan for the Zacharay Place model. I fell immediately in love!! The Zachary Place is larger than the Belford and the Palermo, and it has 2 separate rooms in the basement!!! Just what i need...the Master Bedroom was larger than the Belford and i upgraded the master bedroom to include a sitting room and a fantastic bathroom!!! I love a pretty bathroom!!!
I plan on reviewing my pricing list with my "building consult" and see what rate the credit union will offer me based on the good faith estimate i recieved. I have to go back and add some outlets and the gourmet island in the kitchen. I might negotiate the all closing paid, to go with a better rate from the credit union. My plan is to mke Ryan Homes an offer period on the house, and let them counter. Has anyone had luck with this in the past?
