[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speaking from experience, I’ve found that going with a custom builder is actually saving money. For the same budget I would have spent on a spec house, I’m getting much more—both in terms of quality and customization. Since I’m wealthy enough to be able to handle the carrying costs during building, this was possible. When I look at the overpriced, low-quality spec homes around McLean, I’m even more confident in my decision. A lot of these homes are poorly constructed, and for the price, you’re just not getting the value you deserve. If someone is scraping to afford a $4 million house, they’re often stuck with those uninspired spec homes that lack character and good building materials. The worst part is, when it comes time to sell, they’re going to struggle. Those homes are hard to resell at a good price because they lack the unique and quality appeal that buyers are really looking for. In the long run, it’s likely they’ll end up losing money, while I built something that not only suits my needs but will hold its value.[/quote] Which builder did you choose? [/quote]
