Tri Pointe Homes in the Denver Metro

Every home in the grid below names Tri Pointe Homes as the builder, and the prices run $400K to $999K. Tri Pointe Homes is a national builder whose Denver division builds paired homes, townhomes and single-family plans in the close-in suburbs, and around Denver it builds townhomes and single-family homes in Aurora, Littleton, Commerce City, Arvada and Thornton. 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 Tri Pointe Homes sales office

• Register your agent on the first visit. Tri Pointe 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. Tri Pointe Connect 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 Tri Pointe Homes

What should I know before visiting a Tri Pointe Homes sales office with my own agent?

Register the agent on the first visit, in person or on the online form. Tri Pointe Homes pays the buyer agent; walking in alone does not lower the price. Bring the quick move-in question: which finished homes have sat past 60 days.

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.

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 Tri Pointe 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.

How do deposits, upgrades and cancellation terms work?

Earnest money at contract, often $5,000 to $10,000, plus a design-center deposit when upgrades are selected. Cancellation terms live in the purchase agreement, and the upgrade deposit is the part buyers lose; read that section before signing and have the contingencies written in.

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 Tri Pointe 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 Tri Pointe Homes as the builder: finished quick move-in homes, to-be-built homes released to the MLS, and resales of homes Tri Pointe Homes built years ago. The year built and the remarks tell you which; ask us to filter to new only.
