New Construction Homes: Start Your New Year with a Bang!

Looking to make a fresh start this year? There’s no better way than moving into a brand-new home! New construction homes offer incredible opportunities, but there are a few important things to know before you dive in. Let’s break it down:

Builder Incentives

Did you know that builders often offer special incentives to attract buyers? These offers can change on a weekly or monthly basis and might include upgrades, closing cost assistance, or even appliances. Staying informed can help you snag the best deals available.

What Appliances Are Included?

Most new construction homes come equipped with these essential appliances:Dishwasher, Stove/Oven, and Microwave

However, items like washers, dryers, and refrigerators typically aren’t included unless they’re part of the builder’s current incentives. Let’s check what’s available so you’re fully prepared!

Builder Warranties

One of the perks of buying new is the peace of mind that comes with warranties. Builders usually offer a 10-2-1 warranty, which includes: 10 years of structural/foundation coverage, 2 years for systems behind the walls, like plumbing and electrical, and 1 year of coverage for the entire house.

These warranties vary by builder, so we’ll review your options to ensure your home is well-covered.

Deposit Requirements

The deposit (or earnest money) required to secure a new construction home depends on the builder and the home’s price. Here’s what you might expect:

1. Some builders accept as little as $500.

2. The deposit could be $10,000 or more for higher-end homes.

Typically, the more expensive the home, the higher the deposit. Let’s discuss the options that fit your budget and goals.

Is the Deposit Refundable?

It’s important to know that deposits for new construction homes are not refundable if you change your mind after going under contract. That’s why it’s crucial to feel confident in your choice before moving forward. I’m here to guide you through every step so you can make the best decision.
