Our Country Homes

Housing

The Dallas CBS station found that Our Country Homes was requiring home buyers to put down more money or face cancellation for their new homes. “Citing an ‘unprecedented’ increase in costs, in the past year several North Texas builders have cancelled contracts then sold the houses for more on the open market. “It felt like a stickup,” said Lane Sharon, who signed a contract in July for a home to be built in Celina. “We were told you either pay more money or lose your home.” Seven months after Sharon signed the contract and put a $10,000 deposit down, the builder, Our Country Homes, sent Sharon a letter notifying him of a 15% price increase.” (CBS DFW, 6/2/2022)
