On August 30th, 2016, we placed a deposit on our future dream home in Chandler, Arizona. We're so excited to share our journey of purchasing a new construction home!
This this is a rendering of the home and elevation we chose. It's called the Avante Contemporary. We really love the clean lines and unique exterior look, but we had a hard time deciding between this and the Ranch Hacienda elevation that would provide a pretty large front porch. Ultimately, we chose against a porch since, let's be honest, we live in Arizona and nobody ever sits out on their porch.
The first step with a Toll Brothers community is to put a deposit to hold the lot, which is refundable. At this point, you have a set amount of time (typically 1-2 weeks) to move forward or receive a refund if you back out. If your dreams and pocketbook align, the next step is to put down the non-refundable portions - 5% of the base price (the hold deposit goes towards this amount) plus 10% of the lot premium (almost every lot has a lot premium). From this point on you're locked in to your dream home!
