Building Your Next Home
Opting for New Home Construction
Below are some basic pointers to prepare you for the journey ahead.
Seven Steps to buying your New Home
When buying new construction, keep in mind that it is different from buying a previously-owned home. Negotiating with a homeowner can be difficult as they have an emotional tie to the home. Negotiating with a builder is all about the bottom line; all you have to do is agree upon a number that both parties feel is fair.
Buying new construction involves either designing and building a custom home or buying a home that's built on spec. In either case you’ll be the first owner of the home.
Where you buy not only affects the home's current and future value, but it also affects your lifestyle. Your agent will be able to conduct a more targeted home search if you outline your preferences in neighborhoods and nearby amenities. Here's a checklist of items you should consider and communicate to your chosen real estate agent.
