Rice introduced numerous new floor plans, added full appliance packages to many homes and is currently offering builder paid closing costs on completed homes. "The addition of a washer, dryer and refrigerator has been a big selling point for us. Many of our completed homes now come with a full appliance package so buyers can move in and have everything they need to live comfortably," according to Rob. Combine the appliance package with builder paid closing costs, low interest rates and historically low home prices to create an ideal time to buy a new Rob Rice built home.
