Buyer Guide
What to Know Before Buying from D.R. Horton
Understand the Base Price vs. Total Cost
The listed price is usually the starting point. Model homes include upgrades that add 10-20% to the base price. Ask for a detailed breakdown of what's included and what's extra before committing.
Compare the Monthly Payment, Not Just the Price
Builder incentives like rate buydowns can lower monthly payments significantly. A $500K home with a 4.5% buydown rate costs less per month than a $450K home at market rate. Always compare payments side by side.
Check the Preferred Lender Terms
Most builders offer better incentives through their preferred lender. Compare the total savings against your own lender's terms — sometimes the builder's deal wins, sometimes it doesn't.
Get Independent Representation
Most Utah builders price homes the same whether you have a buyer's agent or not. Having independent representation costs you nothing extra but gives you contract review, inspection coordination, and negotiation support.
