Early next week, I will be at the closing table with a young Katy couple who are purchasing their very first home. They have been delightful clients to work with and it will be an honor to sit with them as their dream comes true and they become Katy home owners. Although I have sold Katy homes for 19 years, there is always something so special about helping first-time buyers.
It is a buyers market and a great time to buy! My clients steadfastly proceeded in their pursuit of this most basic and universal American dream, a home of their own. Confident in their job security, with a sound down payment saved, good credit and the desire to change their lifestyle from apartment dwellers to home owners, we set out on our shared journey to find the right home.
On one of our home tours, we walked into a new construction home and, almost immediately, it became apparent that this just might be "the house". To our mutual delight it was a beautiful one-story in the heart of Katy. I cannot over emphasize the importance of the "feeling" a house gives a buyer when they first explore. As long as they receive sound advice concerning location, etc., this will be the time to move forward.
Having already lost two buyers, the builder was understandably eager to get this house off their books. The builder, Brighton Homes, a well-know and respected company, was ready to seriously negotiate which is usually not an option in the purchase of new construction. Most often, the builder will not budge off their price. My clients are astute negotiators and a fair price, including upgrades, was agreed upon. The timing was just right and excitement really settled in!
So, by the end of next week, the process will come to a very happy ending. My clients and, now, new friends, will be moving in less than two weeks. I can't wait to be invited over to see the decorated home.
If you would like to explore the joys of home ownership, please phone me at 713-818-2404. I would greatly enjoy helping you through the process, too. It's particularly important to use a Realtor when buying new construction so that your interests are adequately protected.
Don't forget: It's a great time to buy!
