What is an earnest money deposit?
The earnest money deposit is the amount the seller requires be paid when you sign the home purchase agreement. An additional deposit may be required after you select your flexible floorplan options for the home. Fortunately, the cost of an earnest money deposit is included in the purchase price of your new home and is credited towards your purchase at the time of closing. If you decide to cancel the home purchase agreement, you may forfeit your earnest money deposit.

Will Beazer build a two-story house near single-story houses?
Because Beazer personalizes many new construction homes, we cannot guarantee what house layout will go on a lot until it sells. As a home buyer, this gives you the option to choose the home design that best suits your needs, whether it is a one or two-story house plan. When you visit a local sales center, your New Home Counselor will show you the lots of land for sale and the plans offered on each home site so you can build your dream home in the perfect location.
