Where do these numbers even come from?<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Usually, listed prices are for base models &#8211; much like buying a car, the list price is almost never what you\u2019ll pay, because you\u2019re shown a base model first. Prices appear low, but then the buyer gets nickel-and-dimed while they\u2019re trying to build the home of their dreams. Real wood stairs? Upgrade costs. High ceilings, rough-in fixtures, extended cabinets, hardwood? Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade, upgrade. Not only is this approach dishonest, we think it takes the joy out of buying a home altogether. That\u2019s why our base models are anything but basic.<\/p>\n<p>In all Paradise Developments communities, upgrades come standard and our pricing is all-inclusive. That means you\u2019ll see everything you want included in the list price &#8211; <strong>9\u2019 ceilings, oak stairs, cold cellars, rough-ins,<\/strong> and <strong>all-brick exteriors<\/strong>, plus so much more. We also include a <strong>decor package<\/strong> and homeowner seminars to make sure you have to tools to make your home\u2019s interior as well-made and tasteful as it\u2019s exterior. We find this approach creates many more happy homebuyers. Take this example, from Aurora Trails.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/paradisedevelopments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/already-upgraded.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-119 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/paradisedevelopments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/already-upgraded-e1418055820991.jpg\" alt=\"already-upgraded\" width=\"730\" height=\"1203\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our standard inclusions would cost an average of <strong>$58,000 extra<\/strong> in upgrade fees from other builders!
