Q: Is it more affordable to build or buy a house?

• <div><p>It is almost always more affordable to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/building-vs-buying-house.htm">buy an existing home than to build one from scratch</a>. First of all, new construction mortgage interest rates are often higher than traditional loans. Also, when building a home, you're covering the cost of brand-new finishes, appliances, electrics, plumbing, utility hookups, and labor. Between the cost of labor and permits, building a home will often cost more in the long run. </p></div>

Q: Do installations include custom mantels?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals offer mantel and surround customization for aesthetic appeal.</p></div>

Q: What is the usual timeframe for completing a modular home project?

• <div><p>Construction typically takes 3-6 months, including site preparation and assembly.</p></div>

Q: How do you negotiate with a homebuilder?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price. </p></div>
