    How is this possible to lock in last years prices? Is it a huge nation wide builder?
    I don't know how this works but I doubt they're losing money so curious about the deal.
    Tilson Homes in Boerne. We signed a contract for a specific price on all the upgrades and options we wanted. Price doesn't change unless we change something, and even then we only pay for the cost of the change we made. They build it out of their pocket with no interest to us during the construction process.

    every quarter they adjust their prices for new customers. If you have signed a build contract with them then the price is locked. as stated above, unless you add or change things.

      covid set the car manufacturers way back which has led to a very tight used market. manufacturers are still short key components and i've been told they will manufacture 20% fewer vehicles this year. The market will get even tighter so if you can wait then i'd suggest you do so.

        They won't lose money. They just won't make as much.

        Instead of making 120k profit they will make 90k profit.

          We used Tilson in Boerne. Great group there. In our house for two years now and love it Tilson has great after the close follow up to fix anything missed in construction and their overall building program and cost significantly beat any of the local competition

            Y'all just give it a little time. When the economy crashes new trucks and houses will be cheap.

              I bought a 2020 Chevy last year. I traded it in to get 4x4 and they gave me what I paid for it a year ago on my trade in.

                we are in the early stages of building. they are working on the foundation currently. Have Been very pleased with them thus far and most of all I like knowing exactly what all my $ is going towards.

                  You want the federal government to step in so you can afford an $80K truck?

                      There’s a huge shortage of semiconductors and it’s affecting the car manufacturers. So they say. Guess where the semiconductors are made? Chi Na

                      Funny how everything goes back to China.

                        He put a "lol" at the end. I believe he was joking.

                            Most builders can get price locks through their source. Got a good buddy that can get lumber "cheap" through his mccoys account because he buys so much lumber and price is locked quarterly

                              this COVID pricing is crazy.. i had requested a bid on a Pole Barn, back July 2020, more or less it was $14000
                              now the same size is $19500.. because if i waited until march, the prices of metal were going up almost 15%, went into HD, to see wire since i will be running all the electric, and the lady was changing prices, some spools went up at least $75. dls. its crazy,, i was looking for a new Chevy Trail Boss, but not anymore,
