What D.R. Horton is building in Swift Creek Farm
D.R. Horton has 4 homes selling in Swift Creek Farm, from $386,700 to $499,940. That is above the $392,240 midpoint for Clayton new construction. At this end the base price buys more, and so does the upgrade list — structural options, lot premiums, and design-center selections move a contract by six figures. The higher the number, the more a second set of eyes on the contract pays for itself.
Before you register at the model home
No builder can stop you from bringing your own agent — that choice is yours and it stays yours. D.R. Horton's Broker Referral Program recognizes your agent only if they are registered on or before your first visit — by accompanying you, by contacting the sales office beforehand, or by you naming them at that visit. Any of the three works. None of them works afterwards. The person in the model home has no reason to raise it.
What to ask before you sign in Swift Creek Farm
Take these to the model home. The answers are all reasonable to ask for in writing.
- Who do you represent in this transaction? Ask it first and ask for the answer in writing. In North Carolina agency has a specific legal meaning, and the onsite agent at Swift Creek Farm is paid to sell Swift Creek Farm.
- What is the due diligence fee here, and is any of it credited at closing? The due diligence fee is nonrefundable and goes to the seller. Get the number, and get it before you fall for the plan.
- Is the lot premium inside the base price or on top of it? On a corner, a cul-de-sac, or anything backing to trees, assume it is on top of the base price until you are told otherwise in writing.
- What is standard at this price and what is an upgrade? Ask specifically about flooring, cabinets, countertops, trim, and the garage. The model home is built to sell, not to spec.
- What is the build timeline, and what happens if it slips past my rate lock? Put the builder's answer next to your lender's lock expiry and see whether the two agree. A due diligence contract has no financing contingency.
- What do I give up by not using your preferred lender? Builder incentives are often tied to financing. That is legal and common — you just need the number so you can compare it against a better rate elsewhere.
- Can I bring my own inspector, and at which stages? Pre-drywall and final are the two that matter. A yes here tells you something about the builder.
- What are the HOA dues, what do they cover, and what is still to be built? In an actively building community, the amenity you are buying for may be three phases out.
- What is the warranty, and who honors it? One year, two, ten — and whether it is the builder or a third-party administrator answering the phone in year three.
