Diamond
Custom Homes
To
Upgrade or Not?
I have built many houses for customers over the
years, all types, sizes and price ranges. My goal is to build a house that is
a home. Every day when you walk in, you feel like you are home, a special
place that is yours, something you created and Diamond Custom Homes built.
In order to accomplish that there will be times
when you are going to be faced with a decision to upgrade or not. More times
than not that decision is based on how much does it cost? Most times in life
that should be your first concern, however in building a home it should
be your second concern and here's why. It should be your second and not your
first concern because any decision you make today on your house, you will live
with for as long as you live in the house. You dont want to make a
decision based on saving money (cause your really not - see below) then regret
it later. Make your house the way you want - with in reason of
course. Most buyers roll the upgraded cost into the final loan amount
and here is why. Below are the monthly cost of an upgrade for a 30 year
4.82% note.
$500 = $2.64 - that's two dollars and sixty four
cents a month. It will take you 15 YEARS before you will have actually
paid $500 for the upgrade.
$1000 = $5.28 per month
As you can see upgrades are VERY affordable. The benefits
of which you will enjoy on a daily basis. Couple this with the fact that we
only charge the ACTUAL cost of the upgrade and you have a win - win scenario
for upgrading.
I only share this with you because in my
experience the owners that understand this principle have a much happier home
building experience, which is our goal.
Thank You
