Builder Inventory --- a terrific deal!!!!

Interested in purchasing a brand new home?  Ever thought about choosing everything you want in a home from the ground up?  That is an exciting dream.  Many people do it every day. 

Purchasing a Builder Inventory home is also an exciting concept.

When a builder has homes in their inventory, that usually means that someone put a large deposit down to build their dream home, but something happened in their life, job transfer, family life change, and now they either can't or won't finalize their purchase.  The builder keeps their deposit, but they would have much rather have completed the sale.

Now, the builder is motivated to sell that home asap, especially in a slower market.

That means a tremendous deal for you.  Often times they will slash their price tens of thousands of dollars just so that they can move the house quickly and recoup their costs, pay their employees.  I have negotiated tremendous deals for my buyers --- beautiful homes with all the bells and whistles, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, wine racks, cherry cabinets for tens of thousands less than what the original person who had said "build me my dream home".

You can get a better deal on an inventory home than what you find on the market for a resale home a large percentage of the time.

Which would you rather?  Brand new or used? Ask your realtor about inventory homes first.  You will be pleasantly surprised!!  Often times the builder will agree to pay all your closing costs if you use their preferred lender and title company.  You are often given the option to get the best possible deal from another lender and asking the builder's preferred lender to meet or beat the deal.  Now, add all of that up and you have a terrific deal.

Please let me know if you would like to know about Builder Inventory in your area.
