Hi Brenda. I have met a few buyers, who don't cherish the idea of having to start that new lawn. That can be a lot of work for many. It is sometimes better to look for those mature lawns that have some nice mature trees.

Yes, Pamela. That is something for many buyers to consider alright. There are no guarantees that the builder will finish the neighborhood. In fact, I have seen a few pull out and sell those remaining lots to other builders. Quality of Construction is a big concern for many too.

Hi Joan, I have noticed that my buyers expect the older established homes to have all the modern upgrades. No more wall paper, or dark wood panels. No more boxed looking rooms. Everyone wants that very Open Look today. Most would rather buy New than Pre-Owned, unless of course it's a historical home. There is something about a Historical home that makes it stand out among the crowd. I just recently sold and close one last week. It was exactly what the buyer wanted.

Yes, Tammy, I would image that age group would be looking for certain features that only a new home could provide. Many of our 55+ or Active Adult communities have all the up to date and modern amenities and conveniences too. It's no wonder that they would want a New Construction Home.
