* Many builders in the luxury home market earn more than 25%.
** Eighty percent of all
homes sold are sold through a real estate broker. When you build your
own home, you will normally not be paying a selling commission.
*** When you build your
own home, you can shop for the best subcontractors and materials at
the best price.
Most builders, like myself,
will develop relationships with subs and suppliers over the years.
Yes I could get a better price from another plumber but I am going
to use my plumber. The same thing is true with my material suppliers.
I had a student that shopped
the entire state for bargains. He built a home for $115,000.00 that
appraised for over $500,000.00! You can do it too, if you are willing
to shop and bargain.
