The company opened its Rhinewood model home at the Kennemore community in Alpharetta. Opening model homes is a standard step in the sales process for new developments, helping potential buyers see the finished product before committing to a purchase. This is part of the company's broader effort to grow its community count. While a single opening is routine, these local expansions are how the builder reaches its goal of delivering over 11,000 homes a year.

A recent slowdown in home building across the country is being tied to the rising cost of parts and workers. When it costs more to buy lumber or hire contractors, builders often have to raise their own prices or accept lower profits on each home they sell.
For a luxury builder like Toll Brothers, these costs matter but are often easier to manage than they are for mass-market rivals. Because its homes sell for much higher prices, it has more room to absorb rising costs without losing money. However, if costs keep climbing, it could eventually test how much more its wealthy buyers are willing to pay.
