Construction Update.. Week 20..

Construction is almost coming to an end. I am just few weeks away from closing. And this is the first weekend, I am free since my parents are here. So I decided to take them to my house and show them the unit and model houses.

I first showed them the models of the houses in my sub-division. They liked the houses, especially the Jade floorplan. Then I showed them my house, which was close to completion. Just the final QA walkthru is remaining.

After seeing my house and the models, we decided to go check out th bigger house models in the other sub-division (Ledgestone). The first was the "Crimson" model, and we were all floored by it.
Huge vaulted ceilings, good open design giving a feeling of spaciousness, and very good interior decoration immediately sold us the model. But it was out of my price range. But this was the weekend of "Monster Sale" at Pulte. They were offering huge incentives on these models which included

• $35,000 discount.
• All closing costs paid.
• All appliances (washer/dryer & fridge included) and blinds installed.
  
• And a 5.85% 30-year fixed loan with jut 5% down.

With these incentives, all of a sudden these bigger houses were within my reach. And what more, apart from the bigger square footage, they also have a big backyard. Big enough to put a pool. And afterter talking to the sale person, they had 2 spec units of the Crimson unit that we could move in within couple of months.

So now my option was to see if I could work out a deal where I can change my house from the smaller Jade models to the bigger Crimson one. But since I am just 3 weeks away from closing, I was not sure how viable that options is. But I still decided to give it a try.

So I called my realtor, and asked him to find out more details about the sale. And also fin out my options regarding switching from Jade to Crimson. So next week is going to be interesting, an I get to do some negotiating done.
