Celebration Homes seemed to have better value for money. A larger home with all name branded appliances (900mm) and good quality fittings. Homebuyers Centre had no name branded appliances (600mm) and fittings that weren't as good quality as Celebration Homes. Both homes were around the same price as well with all the changes we made (which wasn't much).
We ended up running late with the meeting with Ryan, as he went through everything and was very thorough. He then showed us through the Pre-Start Room where all the products for your home are. From bricks, tiles, light fittings, basins, bath, toilet, laminex, etc etc. It was wonderful! Basically everything is standard but if you want to upgrade and pay for it, those items were stickered clearly with a Celebration Homes orange star. Apparently only a few builders in WA have this. We both didn't like the thought of going to all the different shops to choose tiles, carpets etc etc. The convenience of having it all in one place won us over.
What we also found out that Homebuyers Centre is targetted towards the lower level first home buyers market, and Celebration Homes is targetted towards the mid-level to high market. This made us feel quite confident with our finance application.
We met with Troy from Homebuyers Centre a bit late, and to be honest, we had already made our mind up. But we met with him anyway to see what Homebuyers Centre could offer us. Homebuyers Centre home was smaller, but you would get more yard.... but then Celebration Homes had a home that was perfect, but ofcourse, a smaller yard. We decided we'd drop by the block in Hammond Park, to see if we could make a decision.
The verdict..... Celebration Homes with the Polaris!
