Del Webb Required Downpayment

How much money or down payment is required at Del Webb?  If you decide to build with Pulte, the requirement is a 20% deposit. This is done in two phases.

When you go to the sales center with your Realtor to secure your homesite, a $10,000 deposit is requested.  That money is applied to your requirement.

Your next step is to schedule your design appointment.  During your design appointment, you will select all your options for your home such as cabinets, countertops, flooring, and even a swimming pool.

Once your selections are calculated and added to the lot price and base price of the home, you will have your final sales price.  It is at the end of that design appointment that the remaining 20% will be collected.

There are a few instances where you may be required to pay additional deposits.  One could be if you choose to select a custom pool.  The process of working with the builder’s selected pool company can take longer and therefore you may not have a final sales price until your pool design is completed.
