- Final walkthrough!
- Depending on your timeline, you have a few options for buying or building your brand new construction home!
- You can purchase a newly constructed home already built and close within 60 days.
- You can have a home built on a cleared lot with the option to pick your builder, floor plan, and upgrades which takes between four and six months.
- You can also have a home built on a lot that hasn’t been cleared which can take upwards of a year to complete.
If you want to explore your options to purchase new construction, the best thing to do is contact a new construction specialist like myself, so an experienced realtor can guide you through the home buying process. As a buyer, there is no cost to you to have a realtor represent you in your new construction purchase!
Don’t make the mistake of going to the model home in the neighborhood. You may end up making the mistake of writing a contract in the first subdivision you visited without exploring your options.
