@lifestyledesignrealtytx: Signing a builder's contract in Texas quietly removes five protections you think you already have. Your Option Period Shrinks: The standard Texas contract buys you days to inspect and walk away for a small fee. Earnest Money Gets Big: Resale deals usually run about 1 percent down at signing. No Appraisal Protection: If the house appraises under your contract price, you cover that gap in cash. Closing Date Is Theirs: Most builder contracts let them push the finish date back, sometimes by months. The Clause In The Back: Nearly every builder contract sends disputes to arbitration instead of a courtroom. Comment LIST and I'll DM you the current new builds list with the already-finished homes flagged. Save this for later.
