Meritage Homes (NYSE: MTH) is one of the largest homebuilders in the United States, headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, and active across the Nashville area. The company built its brand around energy efficiency — designing homes to run more efficiently and need less upkeep than a typical resale — and around including features in the base price that many builders treat as upgrades.
At Mansker Farms, Meritage is the active new-construction builder, selling single-family homes from around $559,900 with standard inclusions reported as a fully sodded yard, refrigerator, washer and dryer, and window blinds. Specific plans, sizes, and pricing change with each release, so confirm current availability on Meritage's community page or with us.
What buying from Meritage Homes is like
Meritage's pitch is an energy-efficient home with desirable features included rather than priced as add-ons; confirm the current included-features list, plan specs, and warranty on the specific home.

What buyers should know — and why to bring your own agent
Meritage's on-site sales team represents Meritage in the transaction, which is standard for any builder — their job is to sell the home at the best terms for the builder, not to negotiate on your behalf. Having your own buyer's agent alongside you from your first visit doesn't cost you anything extra to add; in most cases it's little or no cost to you as the buyer, and your agent works only for you.
That matters most on the details that shift between phases and series: exactly which features are included versus optional on the plan you want, current HOA dues and what they cover, whether advertised amenities are actually built and open yet, and how a Meritage-affiliated lender incentive compares to an outside rate quote once you run the numbers. Get the included-features list and any current incentives in writing before you sign. Because Meritage phases pricing and plan availability frequently, we pull the live sheet for the exact community and series you're considering and register you as your buyer's agent on your first visit so your representation is in place from day one.

Is Meritage Homes a good builder to buy from in Middle Tennessee?▾
We don't rate builders — Meritage is a large, publicly traded national builder with an active, multi-county presence here, and buyer experiences vary by community, series, and sales team. Third-party sources list buyer ratings for specific Meritage communities; we'd rather help you evaluate the actual home, warranty terms, and included features for the plan you're considering than hand you an aggregate score.
Does it cost more to use a buyer's agent when I buy a Meritage home?▾
No — we represent buyers in new construction at little or no cost to you, and registering with us on your first visit doesn't change the price Meritage charges for the home.
What comes standard in a Meritage home?▾
Meritage markets several items as included rather than upgrades — commonly a fully sodded yard, refrigerator, washer/dryer, and blinds, built to the company's energy-efficiency standards. The specific list can differ by community and series, so we confirm the current spec sheet for your plan before you write an offer.
We represent buyers in new construction at little or no cost to you, and because we tour these communities constantly we help you compare Meritage Homes against other builders, read the incentives, and navigate the build to closing. Builder programs, plans, and pricing change — confirm current terms on any specific home before you write an offer.
