Base price vs. what you'll actually pay
Model homes show upgrades. Get a clear list of what's standard, price out the upgrades you'd truly want, and compare that total with nearby resale homes.
Taxes and special districts
Many new communities in Denton County are in a MUD or PID, which increases the tax rate. Ask for the full rate and estimate your monthly payment with it.
Timelines and inspections
Build schedules slip. Understand what the contract says about delays and your rate lock. Consider independent inspections before drywall and before closing, even on a brand-new home.
Shaune Corbett Group's new-construction guidance helps compare builder incentives, the written contract and resale alternatives on the same total-cost basis; use an independent inspector for the condition questions.
