Thinking of buying a new construction home? ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Here are 5 tips to get the best deal:
Hire Your Own Agent 🙋🏻♀️
Builder’s sales agents represent the builder, not you. Bring your own agent on your first visit to ensure your interests are protected.
Understand Builder List Prices 💶
Builders lose money on homes sitting unsold. Look for inventory homes on the market for 45 days or more to negotiate a better deal.
Note: Skipping an agent won’t lower the price—the builder includes agent commissions in their marketing budget and avoids reducing prices to maintain future sales comparisons.
Purchase the Builder’s Model Home 🏘
Model homes often come with free upgrades, designer paint, and window coverings. When a community nears completion, these models go up for sale, offering excellent value.
Consider Using Your Own Lender 💰
Builders may prefer their own lenders, but they might not offer the best rates. Shop around to find better loan terms that suit you.
Beware of “What You See Is What You Get” ☝️
Model homes might not represent standard features. Be cautious—the actual home may lack the upgrades showcased in the model.
