DR Horton Community
Price Gouging

My spouse and that I recently achieved having a DOCTOR Horton consultant concerning the purchase of the new house in a private neighborhood being constructed by DR Horton. Since we were thinking about getting the home constructed we supplied a summary of choices we were thinking about and requested for pricing. Upon researching the costs we were supplied for that choices we were thinking about it had been apparent these were grossly inflated. For example, we desired to substitute the conventional heated water heater having a complete-home tankless hot water heater. We'd listed one for the prior home and understood it'd charge roughly $1,000 mounted. The cost we were cited by DR Horton was $3,500. Another choice which was really inflated was the inclusion of the third complete bathroom. The cost we were cited was $6,250 for that thrid toilet comprising like supplies and quality. We determined the cost per-square base for that base-model home to become approximately $77.00 / sqft nevertheless, whenever we determined the cost per-square base for that next toilet it found $125.00 / sqft. Whenever we requested the DR Horton consultant why the costs were therefore high we were informed that is exactly what the computer determined. We attempted to describe the estimate for that tankless hot water heater was 3 times the price to set up one within our additional home also it did not seem sensible why it had been so large. The consultant informed us he did not wish to claim and that's the cost. We were also informed each extra electric store could be $100.00.

He was among the many rude and unprofessional individuals we've previously experienced. He repeatedly cut people off whenever we were speaking and held banging his mind. At-one stage he informed us we're able to publish a counter offer for that choices we desired but he informed us it'd be declined.

For anybody buying house within the Houston/Fort Worth region I'd highly recommend preventing the Santa Fe Enclaves simply from I-35 if you don't wish to spend 3 times the cost.
