🚧 Thinking about buying a new construction home?
Before you sign that builder contract, here are a few things worth knowing:
⚠️ Closing dates can move.
Construction timelines don't always go exactly as planned, which can impact your rate lock and moving plans.
⚠️ Builder incentives deserve a closer look.
Sometimes they're a great deal. Sometimes another financing option may save you more.
⚠️ Don't assume the appraisal is a formality.
New construction homes can still face appraisal challenges, especially when upgrades and builder pricing outpace recent comparable sales.
⚠️ Understand your deposit.
Before handing over earnest money, make sure you know when it's refundable and when it isn't.
🏡 I love helping buyers navigate new construction purchases. The goal isn't to scare you—it's to make sure you go in informed and confident.
Thinking about building? I'd be happy to be another set of eyes on your options.
