It is equally important that you select a home builder with proven credibility. There are several important steps to follow for a successful new construction buying process. This guide will assist you in getting started
Get your finances in order and get qualified
Mortgage pre-qualification is the first step you must take when purchasing a home. The process will determine affordability and how much a lender will offer for a home purchase. Getting qualified beforehand allows you to focus on homes within your budget.
Getting qualified gives lends to giving you an advantage over other potential home buyers. Your competitors may not have pre-qualification in the search for a new home. When you do find your dream home you’ll be in a great position to initiate the home buying process.
Know Wants and Must-Haves in a Home
It’s important to know what you’re looking for in a new construction home. Creating “needs” and “must-haves” serve as a great check and balance during your home search. Consider your lifestyle, and if a home doesn’t meet these needs, it may not be the best fit. Remember these key points when creating your “needs” and “must-haves” list
- Have a meeting of the minds with your spouse or partner
- Know your budget and pre-qualification
- Act quickly and confidently when the right home comes along
Partner with a Real Estate Professional
A real estate professional will help you navigate the home buying process, from search to closing. The process of purchasing a new construction house involves significant preparation and time. Real estate professionals will consult with you and review all necessary paperwork and agreements to support you in a successful home purchase transaction.
Real estate agents support you in negotiating the home price.
Understand the Home Builders Warranty and HOA’s
A home builder more often will provide a bulders warranty and offers a home warranty with specific terms and conditions. It’s important to review and understand the warranty and how it benefits a new home buyer.
