We signed up in April '08...since then the base price has gone up $8,000. We weren't ready to build straight away as our land wasn't released, so they gave us a "price cap" for a Dec. '08 site start. They charged us an extra $5,500 and it worked like this..." If the price goes up by more than $5,500, then ony $5,500 will be charged to these clients. If the price goes up by less than $5,500, then only the advertised price will be charged to these clients. So I guess we roughly ( minus $2,500 ) paid for it anyway, even though we locked in early. The other thing we did was to sign up and pay the initial $600 ( that's what it was at the time, not sure about now ) in April, but we put our Tender appointment off until late July...so we didn't outlay any futher money ( 3% of the price ) until then. They were quite happy for us to do that, so that may help you if you aren't ready to hand over any deposit just yet. They also pulled the " this promo is the best I've ever seen and it won't be around for long, so I'd sign up quick if I were you" stunt with us. At the time there was an optional upgrade package available..." Get $27,000 worth of extras...yada,yada,yada....and pay only $4,000! Well he was right ( more fool us! )...the package wasn't around for long, it changed 1 month after we signed...get all the same inclusions PLUS some extras....and pay ZERO!!! Do what works for you, but they'll say anything to get you to sign on the dotted line as soon as they can!
