New Construction Buyer Tips
Buying new construction is not the same as buying a resale home. Before writing an offer, buyers should understand what is included, what is optional, what may change, and how the construction timeline works.
Important questions to ask include:
- Which finishes are included in the base price?
- Which upgrades are available?
- Can buyers still select finishes?
- What warranties are provided?
- What is the estimated delivery timeline?
- What are the monthly assessments or HOA costs?
- How are change orders handled?
- What future construction phases remain?
- Are there transfer, rental, pet, or resale restrictions?
Independent Buyer Representation
New construction sales teams typically represent the developer or seller. As a buyer, you may still choose to have your own representation to help you compare options, review pricing, ask the right questions, understand contract terms, and evaluate the resale potential of a specific floor plan or location within the community.
