5. Tips Before Buying New Construction
- Research the builder’s reputation and speak to buyers in the new development who have purchased from the builder to see if any issues have arised with the home or building process.
- Higher earnest money deposit.
- New constructions can still have defects thus hiring inspectors through the process is a good idea.
- Buyer cannot back out after a home inspection on a new construction unless the contingency is written into the contract, however the builder may repair the defects.
- Mortgage interest rates may fluctuate while home is being built.
- Buyer must forfeit their earnest money deposit if they want to back out due to a low appraisal for builder contracts.
- Consulting with a real estate lawyer to go over the builder’s contract is a good idea. A few points to go over are inspections, warranties and expected completion date.
- Ask for free or discounted upgrades especially in a buyer’s market.
