I am truly overwhelmed by your help. I guess a feel a bit better to find out that many of you were in the same boat. I think our main issue is that the house plan that we have nearly narrowed it down to for both builders isn't one of the houses they have on display! (Memphis 22 for EB adding 2sq for $2000 promotion & Prosperity 23 with Wisdom) so it's very hard to compare as we are unable to get the feeling you get when walking through the display home. We've driven all over Sydney to see all the different display homes for both EB and Wisdom including central coast, St Marys Mt Annah, Minto... But because of the shape and orientation of our block we keep going back to designs that are not on display. Has any of you built a home that wasn't on display? does it work out ok? I read that EB aren't really open to negotiation on prices, but are Wisdom more open to it? I Hey, I was interested in the memphis 22 as well until i actually saw one that was built. The floor plan looked nice on paper but when i walked through it i changed my mind. If you want to see one you have to be ** drive around the new estates until you find one and just go through while the subbies are working lol, just tell them your the owner if they say anything. The builder was there when i went for a sticky beak, i told him i was interested in building it, he had no problem with me looking. I was also interested in the properity from wisdom but as you say none were built at the time. To answer your question about credits... Wisdom nor EB gave back fair credits i felt. Re: Eden Brae Homes vs Wisdom Homes - Help please! 19Oct 30, 2008 9:07 pm Thanks for the tip on My Virtual Home stonecutter! I am about to download it and can't wait to play with it, I think I might get adicted to it haha, looks like a great tool!
We asked MV today if they had any of the Prosperity 23 building right now but they currently only have one down in Mt Annah and apparently we wouldn't be able to walk through it until end of Nov because the site is not safe at the moment... Ideally if we decide to go with Wisdom we would like to go in for tender before then so we don't get caught with the next $2,000 price increase. Yeah, MV mentioned the price rise a few weeks ago. Didn't know that the facades will go up too so thanks for the tip Steve. Ok180 - do you mind if I ask you which house are you building with EBH? it's only that it sounds like we were looking at the same size/style of houses and I am curious to know which one you ended up getting. We'll try the trick of driving around and seeing if we can sneak into a Memphis 22 too to get a feel. Thanks all and keep those tips coming! Ciao I built with EB back on 2009.
