Earnest money is required on all contracts whether you are purchasing a home already under construction or a presale (where Grant builds your new home especially for you)

Deposit on a New Home

Grant & Co. will require a deposit paid to the builder at contract when you agree to allow Grant to build your new home.  You choose the neighborhood, homesite and Grant home plan and Grant will build the home especially for you.  This is called a presale.   The advantage of going the presale route is that you are given the opportunity to make all selections, options and upgrades to the home.  The amount of the deposit required to start your new home is based on the contract price.  Typically, the deposit ranges from $5,000  to $15,000 and is credited toward your required down payment at closing.
