We are first home buyers and couples with no kids at the moment and have selected indiana 33 and quay facade. is anyone else building indiana??. If yes then what sort of upgrades are you making to the house, and how much extra do u have to pay.
Going by the thread i feel a bit relieved as there is lot of info available, thanks for sharing guys!!
We went to spectra last week for browsing and got a little overwhelmed, it will be great if you guys can help
Hey there! We are first home buyers too, but we are building the Addison 24 and generally the upgrades aren't that much different in price between houses unless the upgrade does depend on size (eg; benchtops or flooring etc).
Feel free to check out my blog in the link below, it has all of our upgrades in one of the posts i made called 'Colour Selection and Tender' and let me know what you would like prices for as we legally aren't allowed to list the prices due to contracts etc. But we can answer questions about prices apparently!
We have already had Colour selection/Tender/Contracts and are just waiting for the land to settle/title.
Hopefully armed with a little more info you should be stress free for the next few stages, it should be FUN not stressfull!
