I am giving them a 3.5. I am the HOA President and Stratera built 7 new homes in our community through the developer. We had tried contacting them on several occasions without a response - the items that will become HOA responsibility still need completion and some items needed to be removed.

We’ve never posted anything on social media and have no personal connection to Aurora Homes, but felt the need to share our experiences. We weren’t planning on having a home built, because we've heard horror stories about certain builders. Since there were limited homes on the market, we started looking at our options. After meeting with other builders we quickly realized that they advertise a base price, but then charge high fees for everything they consider “extra”. Many builders wouldn’t even give us a straight answer as to when the home would actually be built. Fortunately, our experience with Aurora Homes has been totally different. Keith and Michele were knowledgeable and helpful as they showed us actual samples of their standard package. The granite, wood plank flooring, custom kitchen cabinets, and more were all included in their base price. Materials considered to be an “upgrade” for other builders were the standard for Aurora. There were so many top-of-the-line choices that we were not forced to pay extra for great quality. Scott and Zack made sure the design of the house met our needs and gave us specifics about each step of the build. They began building our home right on schedule and they send us pictures with messages about their progress. Our many questions continue to be answered quickly and with a smile. We don't feel like a number being placed on hold. This sounds a bit corny, but the fact is that we have been given a custom experience without the custom price tag. We are grateful to those at Aurora who have made this a fun and exciting process with not an ounce of stress. Thank You! Jake, Sam and Sandy Davis

Questions & Answers

There are many home builders in southern Delaware. What makes Aurora Homes different?

Chris David | Jun 21, 2022

Two Things: 1. At Aurora Homes, we focus on the design of our plans and how they can better fit your life. If you do a little research into different builders, you’ll learn very quickly that many of the other builders offer very similar plans and features. 2. Aurora Homes’ plans are all designed in house with your life in mind. A look at our design principles will quickly draw a distinction between Aurora and any other builder. Aurora seeks to build with a higher level of quality in both materials used and expert labor to build a higher quality home. At Aurora Homes, we are passionate about design and quality, and our clients understand that the lowest priced home is rarely the best value.

Can I finish my home myself?

Chris David | Jun 21, 2022
Aurora Homes | Jun 21, 2022

We get this question all the time for some reason. If you would like Aurora Homes to build part of our house so that you can finish it on your own, then Aurora Homes isn’t the best fit for you. We wish you luck.

Does new construction have realtor fees?

Chris David | Jun 21, 2022
Aurora Homes | Jun 21, 2022

We are happy to compensate realtors for their referrals. If you are buying an Aurora Home in one of our communities, we will split the transfer tax. Other fees such as sewer and water tap connection fees vary by community. If you are building your Aurora Home on your property, then you will be responsible for taxes, permits, and connection fees. These all vary by location. Delaware also taxes new construction at a rate of 3.5% of the build cost if you have owned your property for less than one year. (The tax goes away after one year of ownership). This tax should be considered as a cost, and many people want to wait to build for one year. In the more recent past, the prices of new homes have risen to the point where waiting for the tax to sunset has not been the best financial decision. Using a REALTOR has no impact on the cost of your Aurora Home.

What warranties are provided with the house?

Chris David | Jun 21, 2022
Aurora Homes | Jun 21, 2022

We have a comprehensive limited warranty that covers some parts of your new Delaware home for up to 10 years and is fully transferable.

How long will it take to build my New Construction home?

Chris David | Jun 21, 2022
Aurora Homes | Jun 21, 2022

Our approach to Delaware new homes means that we never build the same house twice. We think this allows people to build a home that is uniquely theirs. This process makes for a longer build time. Generally speaking, in 2022, we are a six month build from groundbreaking to occupancy. Like many Delaware home builders, we have material and labor supply shortages that can increase our build time. We will walk with you through the entire process.

Do you have different lot sizes?

Chris David | Jun 21, 2022
Aurora Homes | Jun 21, 2022

Lots sizes in specific communities tend to be similar to each other in size. We are able to work alongside you to find a lot that suits you.

What’s included in the HOA fees?

Chris David | Jun 21, 2022
Aurora Homes | Jun 21, 2022

Depends on the community. We can tell you more about each by contacting a representative.

What are your HOA fees? And how often do they go up?

Chris David | Jun 21, 2022
Aurora Homes | Jun 21, 2022

HOA fees mostly pay for services for the community, so they go up over time.

Price range - how much will one of your new homes cost?

Chris David | Jun 21, 2022
Aurora Homes | Jun 21, 2022

The final price depends on the design and selections you make in building your new home. The good news is that Aurora Homes can guide you to your new home while being mindful of your budget. If you’re in the early stages, it’s easy to get a ballpark by going to Aurora Home’s website and pricing new homes online. We are one of the few builders that actually gives a significant amount of pricing right on our website.

Can I tour one of your homes under construction?

Chris David | Jun 21, 2022
Aurora Homes | Jun 21, 2022

We are happy to arrange a tour with our sales staff. Our active job sites should not be accessed without Aurora Homes staff present. Also, we can’t guarantee the accessibility of all of our job sites for individuals with mobility limitations.

How will you communicate with me during the build?

Chris David | Jun 21, 2022
Aurora Homes | Jun 21, 2022

Aurora Homes will keep you informed on the progress of your new Delaware home. We use an app that allows you to track the progress of your new home from any computer or your phone. You’ll get weekly updates so that you can track the progress from anywhere. Our process also includes in-person walkthroughs and reviews of the build at various points in the build.

How do I select surfaces, colors and fixtures for my new home?

Chris David | Jun 21, 2022
Aurora Homes | Jun 21, 2022

At Aurora Homes, we want to make your new home selections a positive, successful experience. We understand that some people don’t enjoy making decisions, so we have a dedicated, in-house team that will guide you through the design and selection process. You’ll have a chance to explore and learn how to best design a new Aurora Home around your life. Making your selections should be a great experience that ends in a wonderful new home that is uniquely yours.

What’s the first step in the New Home Construction process?

Chris David | Jun 21, 2022
Aurora Homes | Jun 21, 2022

The first step with Aurora Homes is deciding whether or not we are a good partner for your vision. For most people, “vision” is actually a combination of design and budget. Everyone who is looking to build has a set of values, and your builder should align with your values. Aurora Homes places value on design and quality. Aurora Homes is almost certainly not the lowest price builder at the Delaware beaches, but we still believe that our services represent a great value. Our best client understands that the lowest price may not always be the best value. Aurora Homes tries to be very transparent with people who are early in the Delaware new home builder process. That’s why we allow you to price our homes with certain options on our website at your leisure.

If I find a lot of land that I want to buy, will you help guide me through the process? Alternatively, will you help me find a lot to purchase so that we can build a custom home in Southern Delaware?

Chris David | Jun 21, 2022
Aurora Homes | Jun 21, 2022

Aurora Homes is happy to work alongside you on lot selection, and we can also refer you to trusted REALTOR partners who have experience in Delaware beach new construction clients. Aurora would love to be a part of the process from the very beginning. We can perform informal site visits on property that interests you, and we can do this before you select a builder.

Will you build a custom home on a lot purchased by me - or a lot that isn't in one of your communities?

Chris David | Jun 21, 2022
Aurora Homes | Jun 21, 2022

Aurora specializes in building on lots owned by our clients. We are able to guide you through the entire process from lot selection to completion.
