If a buyer is allowed to select items in a new home under construction, can the seller reject a selection based on market value?

In the context of new home construction, it is indeed possible for a seller to reject a buyer's selection based on market value. When a buyer is given the option to select certain items, such as finishes or upgrades, the seller may have established guidelines or limitations concerning these selections. If a buyer opts for an item that is significantly above the market value or does not align with the property's overall value and standard offerings, the seller has the right to refuse that selection. This is often to maintain the integrity of the development and ensure that the home remains competitively priced and aligned with community standards.

Sellers have the responsibility to ensure that the selections made by buyers do not detrimentally affect the marketability or value of the home. Hence, the ability to reject selections based on market value is a protective measure for both the seller and the overall value of the property being constructed. This ensures the construction process remains consistent with the planned development and helps avoid discrepancies between what buyers expect and what they receive in terms of home value and aesthetics.
