What Centex Homes is building in Carpenter Falls

Centex Homes has 14 homes selling in Carpenter Falls right now, from $284,990 to $486,580. That band sits under the $428,990 midpoint for new construction in Durham, which is what pulls buyers to Carpenter Falls in the first place. It is also what makes the paperwork worth reading twice. Entry pricing is where builders lean hardest on incentives, preferred lenders, and what counts as an upgrade — and where the gap between the base price on the sign and the number you actually sign for opens widest. At 14 homes available, Centex Homes is carrying real standing inventory in Carpenter Falls — the one condition where a builder will move, and usually on closing costs and incentives before base price.

What this means in North Carolina

• The due diligence fee is nonrefundable and goes to the seller. Not held in escrow, not credited back if you walk. You write it, the builder keeps it, and it buys you a window to inspect, appraise, and arrange financing. Walk after that window for any reason and you can lose your earnest money too.
• A due diligence contract has no financing contingency.This is the one that costs people real money. Once due diligence ends you are committed whether or not your loan closes. If rates move, if the appraisal comes in short, if underwriting turns on a detail in your file — that is your problem, not the builder's.
• The contract is the builder's paper, not the standard NC form. Every agent in this state knows the standard Offer to Purchase. A builder's contract is written by the builder's lawyers for the builder's benefit, and the clauses that matter most — completion dates, change orders, what happens if the build runs long, which disputes go to arbitration — are the ones that differ from the form you would otherwise be signing.
