Update on Van Metre Homes in Stone Ridge

Over the weekend, a home buyer client and I spent several hours at Van Metre Homes in Stone Ridge. He wanted to take a first-hand look at their models, lots, options and price out a town home to his liking. I would like to pass along some of the information to you as well (if you’re interested)…

Van Metre has sold out of their single family home collection, but they are still building town homes. You can get a fully loaded, 2 car garage Stanton model town home in Stone Ridge for just under $400K (interior unit). The exterior unit will put you just above $400K But these prices include almost all of the bells and whistles including…

• Gourmet kitchen upgrade
• Granite counter-tops
• Upgraded appliances
• Kitchen back-splash
• Hardwood entire main level
• Upgraded 12×12 tile in foyer and bathrooms
• Extra recessed lights throughout home
• Ceiling fans in all bedrooms
• Upgraded fixtures throughout
• Fireplace on main level
• Bathroom in basement
• 2-level deck – one level off of main level and another off of master bedroom
• 3 level extension (brings the square footage to 2500)
• double bay window elevation and side bay window off family room (end unit only)
• and more…

As of yesterday, there are three interior Stanton models available for March delivery. There are also several Stanton interior and two exterior units available for April delivery. The March delivery town homes are about $12K less than the April ones for two reasons…

1. Van Metre has already started construction on the building (the closer you get to delivery, the more the discount)
2. The ones being delivered in April back to a 50 foot tree save buffer rather than other town homes

If you are interested in getting more information about the community, town home models, lots, options or incentives, email or call me – danilo.bogdanovic@gmail.com – 703.582.6900. I would also be happy to meet you at the Van Metre sales center and show you around the community.

And remember, don’t go at it alone – the sales price already includes a Buyer’s Agent commission so you might as well have representation from an experienced Buyer’s Agent who is familiar with that builder, that community and the specific sales manager working there. (And no, the builder won’t discount the price the amount of the commission if you don’t have an agent)

Cost of New Homes Goes Up at Pulte Homes’ Windermere Community

New construction town homes just got more expensive at Pulte Homes’ Windermere community in Ashburn, Virginia. Though base prices didn’t go up, a large number of options that were once standard on the Tyler and Westley II town home models will no longer be standard (click here for my video tour of the Tyler model and click here for my video tour of  the Westley II model).

What is no longer standard?

The previously standard options that are no longer included for free are,

• boxed ceiling in Master Bedroom
• window, door, baseboard, chair rail and crown molding package
• 3-piece plumbing/full bathroom rough-in in basement
• 42 inch cabinets in kitchen
• 12″ x 12″ designer ceramic tile floor in kitchen and nook
• recessed lighting
• double bowl under-mount stainless steel sink
• granite counter tops in kitchen
• Energy Star appliances in kitchen
• granite counter tops with under-mount porcelain sinks in all full bathrooms
• 6″ x 6″ ceramic tile floors in all bathrooms
• elongated water closet in master bathroom and powder room
• insulated garage door with openers and remote
• electrical outlets – front and rear
• double hung insulated vinyl “Low E” windows with grid inserts and screens

What does this mean to you?

The majority of the previously standard options are pretty “standard” in today’s day and age to begin with so you’ll probably want them anyway. The estimated cost of the options listed above is upwards of $15K, which means you’ll be spending at least $15K more than you would have previously.

Don’t be bummed

Though I can’t say for sure, I have a feeling that Pulte may be raising base prices after the next release of lots. With inventory down, demand still strong and the tax credit being extended and expanded, builders have been raising base prices and/or cutting the list of standard options. If the market continues this way, they will continue to do the same thing in the future.

But…even though the overall cost went up, I know of incentives and ways to negotiate money off the total price that will make it much less of an increase in overall cost than what’s on paper.  See…told you not to be bummed
