Why We Don’t Advertise the Price of a New Home

“So, what’s the price of this home?”

It’s a question we hear often—and for good reason. When you’re shopping for a new home, it’s only natural to want all the facts. You’re comparing models, features, and price points to find the right fit for your family and your budget.

But here’s the thing: the price of a home is more than just a number—it’s part of a much bigger picture. At Aiken Housing Center, we know that buying a home isn’t just a transaction—it’s a journey. That’s why we go beyond quoting base prices. We take the time to walk you through everything—from decor options to site work to financing—so you have a clear, honest view of what to expect.

No surprises. No pressure. Just real information to help you make a confident decision.

Understanding the True Cost of a Home

When you ask, “What’s the price of this home?”, you expect a clear answer—and you should. But the truth is, the final cost involves more than just the base price. Key components like:

  • Foundation preparation
  • Delivery and installation
  • HVAC system (heating and air)
  • Utility hookups
  • Skirting and steps

are often not included in the price you see advertised.

On top of that, a few important questions can further impact your total cost:

  • Does delivery pricing change based on how far you are from the dealership?
  • Is there a difference in setup cost between single-section and multi-section homes?
  • Is skirting optional, and if not, what does it add to the price?
  • Are permits required in your area—and what are the associated fees?
  • Will your credit score affect your financing terms?

These factors can make a big difference. That’s why at Aiken Housing Center, we walk you through all the details—so you’re not left guessing. We’re here to give you clarity, not confusion.before finalizing your purchase.

The Illusion of a “Base Price”

At Aiken Housing Center, honesty isn’t just a policy—it’s how we do business. While some dealers advertise low base prices to grab attention, the real cost often increases by 40–60% once hidden fees and upgrade charges are added. That kind of surprise can quickly turn excitement into frustration.

We believe you deserve better. Our experienced team offers clear, upfront pricing based on your actual needs—no gimmicks, no last-minute add-ons. From the very beginning, you’ll know what to expect and what it will truly take to get into your new home.

Because your home buying journey should start with trust, transparency, and peace of mind.

Lowest Price or Lasting Value? Why the Best Deal Isn’t Always the Cheapest

When shopping for a new home, it’s easy to get drawn in by low advertised prices. But when you’re making one of the biggest investments of your life, it’s important to look beyond the sticker and ask—are you getting the best price, or the best value?

A new home isn’t just another purchase—it’s your future. It’s where you’ll build your life, raise your family, and make lasting memories. And just like you wouldn’t trust a cheaply made tool to last, you shouldn’t settle for a home that cuts corners on quality to lower the price.

We’ve proudly served the Aiken community and surrounding areas for over 40 years. As a locally owned and operated dealership, we’re not just selling homes—we’re building relationships. Our owner is on-site every day, ensuring that each customer gets personal attention and honest guidance throughout their home-buying journey.
