- Q: Can I build a new home when I have an existing home to sell?
- A: Yes, many financial institutions have programs to assist those in this very situation. In most cases you will access a portion, or even all, of the equity in your current home. This equity can serve as your down payment and possibly reduce or even eliminate your existing home payment. Another key benefit is moving directly from your current home into your new Merritt home without being forced to move twice, rent or pay unnecessary storage costs.
- Q: Can I finance land in my construction loan?
- A: You can finance your land, along with your new home, into one construction loan. This will save on two separate closings, which will save you money on your overall closing costs. This also applies if you already own your land and have a balance remaining to the original lender as well. The balance of your land purchase will be consolidated into your loan & will eliminate a separate payment.
- Q: What options do I have to choose from?
- A: At Merritt Homes you can choose everything from your rooftop to your countertop. See our Design & Idea Center to make some of your choices in the comfort of your own home.
- Q: What is included in the price of the home?
- A: We pride ourselves in having the most complete standard features in the industry. See our Standard Features for more details.
- Q: How can I get a break down of the cost of my new home?
- A: Once we have decided on the floor plan and any custom features you would like to see in your home we will present you with a bound book including:
- Pictures of the frontal elevation
- Floor plan
- Job detail (exact measurements for all aspects of the home)
- Cost saving options
- Proposal
- Q: How long will it take to build my new home?
- A: Our commitment to the highest level of quality is unwavering, but we understand how important time is and we respect that. We will give you a tentative move-in date upon the signing of the contract. If any unpredictable circumstances should arise we will notify you immediately with a later date. During the building process we will be in constant contact with you so a delay will not come as a surprise; as you will be just as informed as our team.
- Q: How am I kept informed during the construction process?
- A: We believe communication is the key to any strong relationship. Our team will keep you informed of the progress of your home and if you have any questions about your construction, you will have our cell numbers to contact us directly. Although we keep in direct contact with the homeowners we also encourage you to stop by your home site. The building process is an exciting experience and we feel you should be included every step of the way.
