Steve Martinez discusses recent market uncertainty, including delays to federal housing legislation, and emphasizes that builders aim for a smoother, collaborative experience rather than an adversarial one. He outlines how to pre-qualify clients before meetings, the pre-construction agreement and 25,000 non-refundable fee used toward the home price, typical 3 to 4 months for plan design plus about 1 month for bidding, and an 8 to 12 month construction timeline. He also addresses misconceptions about builder profit and price per foot by noting that price per foot varies with included elements such as lot, garage, and custom scope.
