It is not at all hard, we visited the design studio and everything came to 300k bare minimum for what we want. 100k flooring, 100k kitchens, 100k other stuff like baths/tech/speakers etc, 300 is about right for a pretty house. 400 if you pick on the high end of the range (wolf instead of jenn air, more upgraged counters and baths, larger house)

At least when the home is 7500-8500 sqft 300-400 is accurate trust me for anything like the models.

Wow, they must have raised their prices. When we bought, tech, bathrooms, speakers were all done outside of the design center. Even appliances were separate. Though I’m surprised the associates told you average paid…when I asked, I was told they couldn’t say the number. They also said that all other Toll homes in the area used the same design center, so folks from an hour away were coming to the same design center. Either way, good luck to you wherever you build.

People are literally dying, World War III is well on its way, and you are literally spending millions on a home? Why? They are not all that, trust me, and they don't even give discounts. Most of these houses are so basic on the inside, and as base prices go up, the design studio options people pick reduce greatly. The average amount spent on the design studio has dropped tremendously in this community, and the houses look so sad on the inside. Stop stretching to buy homes here. Honestly my current home is prettier than most of these...

This is the dumbest post. Okay, so World war 3 possibility just happened last week. So, there are people who signed their houses last year!
Get a life!!!

The sale associate told us average windmill owners spend 150k in design studio. Not sure if this is an underestimate.
They also wouldn’t tell us how much those upgrades at design studio will cost until we sign the contract and pay 100k deposit. I think there is a lack of transparency here.

It’s in Toll’s best interest to low ball the spend at the design center. If someone told me everyone pays 400k, I would walk away before signing. So it makes sense why they lie and say 150k…you can double that for real answer.

So they tell YOU the truth, but lie to everyone else?

No, what I’m saying is that I don’t think they share the real amounts paid. If they told you 150k, how do you know they’re not lying to get you in the door? When I asked, I was given a generic “it depends on the client”. When I asked how much the model home upgrades would be I was told “I can’t disclose that”. So my point is that I don’t think you can really know.

I'm not sure if this helps at all in the current debate, but you can look up the total that everyone paid here:

Just put in a street name; ignore the field for a street number, and it will pull up all houses on the street. For example, "Ankonian" is one of the streets.

It’s not quite accurate, but useful. It shows 150,000 less than what I paid. I think if you pay for stuff like electrical and audio and landscaping seperate, it doesn’t know since you’re paying the third party direct. Though that’s still too much of a difference in my case so not sure

I don't know about you all, but when we were going to buy a windmill, and they actually let us see the design studio to add everything up. The home we designed was under 7k square feet and the total was 300k (this includes technology/appliances/everything). We basically copied the options from the kalorama model. They do lowball the average, or probably give a genuine one because people are not spending so much at the design studio like at the start of the community.

If you want a more upgraded home, like the model in arden virginia, estimate 400k+

Also just so you all know the kalorama models design options are over 300k. You can confirm that number for yourselves if you please. The palatine was 400k, and in arden, that model is probably near 500k.

I live in the neighborhood and it’s 15 minutes to drive to work. Yes, I can afford to live elsewhere, but I don’t want the commute and the houses are nice if you put in the money. Nobody is buying without upgrading…just walk into any of the houses being built…tons of upgrades in all. People buying now are the ones who have the money to do so…nobody is buying a 2M home and getting builder grade furnishings.

Yes people are, they only spend less than 100k in the design studio usually, max 200. That is nothing. At the start of the community people where spending 400k

How would you know how much people are spending? Seems like the people who live here would have a much better sense of what’s happening in their own neighborhood.

From the sales associates themselves and people I know in this community (I know probably 10 families)

The sales associates haven’t said anything like that to me or anyone I know.

If you really know 10 families who live here, you are one hell of an unkind friend. Glad you won’t be buying here - don’t think you’d fit in with the kind and good hearted neighbors.

Decided not to move here and spent 3 million with another builder. Glad I wont have neighbors like you who literally judge everyone!

Glad you found the right home/community for you. Just don’t understand why you continue posting such negative comments on this thread, especially if you have friends in this community?

The community is nice. I think people just eye roll at the "Potomac" guise.
