Builder Spec Homes - A Great Place to Find Deals!

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Greenville Upstate

If you are looking for a great deal on a brand new home, then it may be time to look for a builder spec home.  A spec home is usually a home that was ordered by a purchaser, but was never closed on for various reason.  The spec home then sits empty, because it was built for a particular person, and it may be tough to find someone with those same tastes.

Builders often like to get spec homes off their books, but with the perception of the market at a low point, builders are more ready than ever to make deals. 

I saved a client $32,000 recently on a spec home.  I had another client get a $180,000 home for $155,000.

The deals are there!  What you need is a knowledgeable, high-octane real estate agent who will seek out those deals for you.  They aren't there for long, so you need someone who will stay on top of it!

Enjoy!

I agree.  I've seen some amazing deals recently on spec homes. They don't always suit everyone's tastes, but you can't deny the overall value.

Kirk, that's where you have to make choices.  AS long as the client is happy with the choices that were made in the home for options, they can get that deal!
