Buying & Selling
When is the best time to buy a new green home?
Buying a new home from a developer can be very different from buying a resale home from a homeowner.
First, consider motives. While a homeowner is oftentimes very emotionally attached to the home that you are considering, a builder is interested in selling as many homes as quickly as possible. For this reason, you may find that builders are able to give much larger incentive packages when shopping for a home. They can include, thousands of dollars to help with your closing costs, free upgraded interior finishes in the home, assistance with down payment for financing, and much much more. Using a seasoned agent is the best way to make sure you take full advantage of those incentive packages since they are in touch with the developers regularly, and the developers view them as a valuable asset towards getting more sales.
Oftentimes, if another homeowner backs out on a home before the purchase (this happens often), you can take full advantage by purchasing a home which is fully or partially completed. A builder has a powerful financial incentive not to let a finished home sit unsold (property taxes, utilities, opportunity cost) since nobody is living in the home, unlike with a residential resale.
Most new construction closings take place during the winter and spring months (verify). For this reason, if you are ready to move and the builder knows about it, you might find yourself with a great offer during that time.
Put yourself in the best position possible. When walking into a sales center with an agent representing you, the salesperson will approach the possible sale very.
They know you are serious about considering a home.
