A Few Things to Know

  • Inventory comes in waves. Richmond American builds spec + custom; if you don't see your floor plan now, ask — new releases hit the MLS by community filing.
  • Builder incentives matter. Rate buydowns, closing cost credits, and design center allowances can be worth more than headline price negotiation. We'll walk through what's on the table per community.
  • Site selection > plan selection. Lot premiums, view orientation, and street position drive long-term value more than which floor plan you choose. Pick the lot first.
Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Richmond American Homes

Is Richmond American Homes a reputable builder?

Richmond American is a subsidiary of MDC Holdings, headquartered in Denver since 1972. They're one of the most active homebuilders in the Denver metro across multiple price tiers — currently active in 10+ metro cities. As with any builder, independent inspection is recommended on new construction.

In which Denver metro cities does Richmond American actively build?

RA actively builds in Aurora (largest footprint), Castle Rock, Parker, Brighton, Commerce City, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Englewood, and Erie, among others. Specific active communities and inventory change as filings open and sell out. See the city breakdown above for current active listing counts.

How does Richmond American compare to Lennar, KB Homes, and Toll Brothers?

All four are large national builders active in Denver metro. RA tends to compete on plan flexibility and bundled financing through HomeAmerican Mortgage. Lennar competes on price and "Everything's Included" base spec. KB Homes targets first-time and value buyers. Toll Brothers targets the luxury segment. Compare full packages, not headline prices.

What financing options does Richmond American offer?

RA offers financing through their in-house lender HomeAmerican Mortgage — conventional, FHA, VA, and other standard programs. Builder incentives often stack better when you use HomeAmerican, but compare the full package (rate, closing costs, points) against at least one outside lender before committing.

What warranty does Richmond American provide on new construction?

RA new construction typically includes tiered warranty coverage — fit and finish (typically 1 year), systems (typically 2 years), and structural (typically 10 years), though specific terms vary. Read the warranty document carefully and ask about the claim process before signing the purchase contract.

How is Richmond American's design center process structured?

Buyers select interior finishes, fixtures, flooring, cabinetry, and many other elements at the design center after contract. Standard options are included; upgrades cost extra. Design center upgrades typically can't be rolled into builder incentives — they're often paid out of pocket or financed separately. Set a design center budget BEFORE you go.
