When buying a home, many people don’t even consider a new construction home built by a local or national builder, i.e, KB Home, Lennar, Pepper Viner, AF Sterling, etc., but they definitely should in my opinion. Just about any new home will be more efficient, covered with a warranty from the builder, and in current market conditions many times cheaper then the resale homes available in the marketplace. Since I personally spent years selling for a major home builder, I feel there are some major advantages to buying new, but you also need to truly think out what you’re having built. You’ll need to carefully consider the floorplan, lot, builder options, and choice of builder. Whenever looking at a certain area, ask your real estate agent what new homes are also available to see. It might make you think twice about new homes.
