Thinking About New Construction?
Are you ready to buy a new home? Where to start? Where to look? Almost all buyers dream of buying a brand new home and making it their own, but aren’t sure what that means. It can feel like a daunting project but buying new construction is really just the opposite. Buying new construction is a series of steps and you will be guided through each stage. Breaking up the process makes buying new construction easy and fun.
The first step is finding the new construction development that suits you and your family. There are many options available. You might be looking for a single family home, condo or townhouse. Often developers offer a variety of housing styles inside a small radius of space. So decide which style fits you best and go see the model homes.
Model homes will showcase the latest trends in design and décor. This might appeal to you and it might not. If your treasured furniture is traditional and the model home is shown in urban modern, you might think it’s the wrong home for you. Talk with the sales staff before you dismiss the property. They can show you the many options available to finish your home.
The exciting part of new construction is that you are buying a blank canvass and can create anything you like to suit your tastes.
Once you find a floor plan you like. The sales staff will show you available lots for your home. Now is the time to choose your view, street and lot size. Again, new construction gives you the choice of a pool sized lot or distant view.
Customizing a new construction home might not only be picking carpet and counter-tops. Some developments allow you to choose building an extra bedroom or adding a 3 car garage. You might have the option of a third floor bonus room or wine cellar. The choices will vary by development, but regardless, you can create your home to suit your tastes.
Buying a new construction home is so much fun! You are not buying someone else’s idea of a “designer kitchen” you are creating your own dream home. You will move through the process one step at a time, guided by the sales staff, until your home is built, customized and ready for you and your family to move in.
One final thought, buying new construction is no different from a resale home. Your real estate agent can help you through this process just as they do a resale. In my area, new construction is common and many of my buyers do find their perfect home in new construction. I help them negotiate the price, terms and upgrades and ensure they are protected throughout the sales process. I work with the new development to make the sale a smooth experience.
