Oakwood Homes in the Denver Metro

Every home in the grid below names Oakwood Homes as the builder, and the prices run $375K to $1.05M. Oakwood Homes is a Denver-founded builder that built much of Green Valley Ranch and now builds east and north of the city, and around Denver it builds attainable plans in Aurora, Watkins, Johnstown, Fountain and Broomfield. What changes the payment most is not the plan, it is the city and its metro district; the snapshot below shows both.

Before you visit a Oakwood Homes sales office

• Register your agent on the first visit. Oakwood Homes pays the buyer agent; walking in alone removes your negotiator, not the commission.
• Ask for the quick move-in list with days on market. Finished homes that have sat carry the credits; to-be-builts carry design allowances.
• Get two loan quotes. Nest Home Lending and one outside lender, both with the metro district tax in the payment.
• Inspect twice during construction. Pre-drywall and final, your own inspector.
• Read three documents before the deposit. The purchase agreement, the warranty booklet, and the metro district disclosure.

Questions Denver buyers ask about Oakwood Homes

What will taxes, HOA dues and metro district charges add to my payment?

In a metro-district community the effective tax rate runs about 0.9 to 1.3 percent of value, roughly double an older neighborhood without a district. HOA dues in Oakwood Homes communities run $50 to $150 a month. Ask for the total mill levy and the district debt before you compare with a resale.

Is this page new construction only?

No. The grid shows every listing that names Oakwood Homes as the builder: finished quick move-in homes, to-be-built homes released to the MLS, and resales of homes Oakwood Homes built years ago. The year built and the remarks tell you which; ask us to filter to new only.

Can I compare Nest Home Lending with an outside lender?

Yes, and you should. The incentives usually require Nest Home Lending, so compare the whole package: rate, points, closing-cost credit, and the payment in year one and year five. Take the lower year-five payment.

What is Oakwood Homes giving right now?

Rate buydowns and closing-cost credits through Nest Home Lending. Ask for it three ways, as a permanent buydown, a 2-1 temporary buydown and cash toward closing, and compare the year-one and year-five payments.

What does the advertised base price leave out?

The lot premium, the design-center upgrades, the metro district tax, the HOA and closing costs. On a Oakwood Homes home the lot and upgrades add $15,000 to $80,000 to the price, and the tax, insurance and dues add $900 to $1,300 a month to the mortgage payment.

What inspections should I arrange during construction?

Pre-drywall, after framing, plumbing, electrical and HVAC rough-in and before insulation, and a final inspection with a sewer scope before the walk-through. Your own inspector, $450 to $800 each. The warranty repairs what you find; it does not find it for you.
