People also ask
How do I get a builder to give me a realistic total?
Make them itemize every line, then add 15%. A realistic total comes from forcing the builder to break out allowances, site work, and finishes, then padding the sum by 10 to 20 percent for what they'll 'discover' later.
What upgrades are actually worth the money?
Kitchen, master bath, and flooring. Those three return the most when you sell, and they're what buyers notice first. Skip the pool and the home theater.
How much should I set aside for unexpected costs?
Set aside 10% to 20% of the base price. That covers change orders, site surprises, and finish upgrades. If you're building custom, lean toward 20%.
