Buying a New Construction Home

May 10, 2021 By Mark Krasnow

When it comes to buying a home, new construction homes have benefits. If you are considering a new home, I’m happy to talk with you about the pros and cons of buying new construction to help you decide whether a new construction home is right for your family.

Benefits of New Construction Homes

Depending on when and how you buy, you may have control over some of the details in your new home. Some builders have options for flooring, countertops, tile, or even paint for the new construction home. If you will be purchasing from a builder before the home is completed, you may have the option to upgrade features in your new home.

However, this also means it can take longer to move into your new home. Unexpected changes could delay this estimate, so clear communication is key between the home buyer and the new home builder.

New Home Communities

New homes can often be a part of a planned neighborhood or new home community. These may include community features, like common space, walking paths, basketball courts, or a community center. Always ask if there are any homeowners association (HOA) fees for the new home to support these community areas.

If you’re considering a new home in one of these communities, visit the neighborhood before making your final decision. Potential homebuyers can get to know the area and see other in-progress or completed homes. Visiting the new home community in person can help you decide if the community will fit your lifestyle.

Searching for New Homes

Any new construction home for sale listed in the MLS can be found on REcolorado’s home search site and will show up in the auto notifications I set up for you. Give me a call today to ask some questions or ramp up your real estate search.
