So we are early in the process but have already accomplished alot. This whole deal started about 3 weeks ago. My wife and I decided it was time to find a house again for us and our two little ones. We built our last house through a different builder so we were familiar with the process. That said, we started by looking at existing houses, looked at a few, nothing really drawing us in. The last house we looked at was a Ryan Homes sienna, we liked it, so we put in an offer. Well lucky for us, the owner was stubborn and declined two offers flat,no counter. Good riddance. This got us thinking, we liked the Ryan Homes house, why not just build again? We both knew where we wanted to build. We scoped out the neighborhood a year ago when it first opened and thought it was overpriced. Well, time has a funny way of changing prospective.
The location is perfect, a fact many others apparently agreed with because in just a year most of the neighborhood has been sold! This certainly lent a degree of urgency to our decision to move forward or not, add to that pressure the fact that only 2 basement lots remained to build on, only 1 on a cul-de-sac, and our minds were pretty well made up.
We started off leaning towards the Sienna, but after careful review of the Sienna VS the Sorrento we decided that the basement layout on the Sorrento, along with the bigger kitchen would better suit our needs. The fact that it was 20k cheaper to start also meant we could get a few nice extras. Ill get into those extras shortly in another post.
So, we dropped a 5k deposit, signed the paperwork and scheduled my sit down with NVR.
