The Perks of Being First: New Phase Benefits at Fosdick Glen

July 22, 2025

From choosing your view to customizing every detail, there’s something undeniably exciting about being the first in the world of new homes. First to explore a brand-new streetscape, first to choose the perfect homesite and first to watch your dream home take shape from the ground up. At Norfolk Homes, we know that buying early in a new phase, like the just-released phases at Fosdick Glen of Saline, offers more than just a fresh start. It’s a strategic move that sets the tone for your future. From locking in today’s pricing to maximizing customization and long-term value, early buyers enjoy benefits that go far beyond the build.

If you’ve been thinking about making your move in the Ann Arbor area, here’s why now is the time and Fosdick Glen is the place.

First Choice, Best Choice: Homesites and Floor Plans

One of the biggest advantages of buying early in a new phase is having your pick of the best. Homesite availability is at its peak at the start of a phase, which means you can choose a lot that fits your lifestyle, whether that’s a private backyard, a corner location or something with sunset views.

You’ll also have the full menu of Norfolk Homes’ thoughtfully designed floor plans to choose from. From spacious two-story homes like the Chesterfield or Briarhaven III to versatile layouts like the Edinburgh or Middleton, early buyers have the freedom to select the plan that best fits their needs and customize it every step of the way with our expert Interior Designer.

Unlike quick move-in homes or limited inventory phases, this is your chance to build your home exactly the way you envision it, with no compromises.

Lock in Pricing and Peace of Mind

When you buy early in a new phase, you’re not just choosing your lot and layout: you’re also locking in today’s pricing. As the phase continues to build out, prices often rise due to material costs, labor and increasing demand. But at Norfolk Homes, we offer no escalation clauses, meaning your home price won’t increase once the contract is signed. Your price and your interest rate are protected.

We’re currently selling for 2026 move-ins, which means you can start your new home journey today and take your time making thoughtful decisions about features, finishes and timing without the rush of a last-minute move or the pressure of competing inventory.

It’s a smart financial move, too. As the rest of the community is built out, your home starts appreciating. You’ll enjoy the benefit of getting in early and watching your investment grow.

Secure Your Rate Now—With Flexibility for Later

Additionally, we’re proud to partner with trusted lenders who specialize in construction-to-permanent loans, offering a big advantage for today’s buyers. These loans allow you to lock in today’s interest rate, providing peace of mind even if rates fluctuate in the future. And if rates drop before your closing? You may qualify for a float-down option, meaning you’ll receive the lower rate without having to refinance.

It’s one more way we make building a new construction home in the Ann Arbor area not just exciting, but financially savvy, too.

It’s a land-preservation community offering 34 acres of open space, scenic surroundings and generous homesites. Plus, it’s part of the Saline Area School District, ranked among the best in Michigan.

When you build in Fosdick Glen, you’re choosing more than just a home—you’re choosing space, quality, convenience, and long-term value in one of the most desirable areas near Ann Arbor.
