Hi All,
I have a question regarding builder upgrade costs between various builders. I know that all builders uncharge for the convenience of options being done/installed during the normal construction of all homes, but are the differences in upcharges significant from one builder to the next? Or is it a pretty standard percentage markup that each builder falls within (i.e. 20% markup). I am coming from a new construction with Tripointe purchased 5 years ago, and moving towards a new construction with Toll Brothers soon. I hear the markup with Toll Brothers is pretty aggressive, I remember pricing things out with Tripointe vs doing the flooring after COE, and the difference wasn't significant so I just went with the builder. But if Toll Brothers are known for REALLY gouging customers on upgrades, then I might have to reconsider. Has anyone that has experience buying from different builders noticed a large difference in markup from one builder to the other?
