Tips For Buying New Construction

Purchasing a new construction house may feel simpler than buying a resale, but buyers should approach the process with these steps in mind, provided by HGTV’s Front Door.

Once you’re ready to choose a specific lot, keep in mind that not all lots are created equal. Rain City Guide recommends that buyers be choosy — pick the best lot for your household by studying the builder’s plans and walking the site to visualize how the house will sit once constructed. Are there trees? What type of drainage is planned? What might you see from the bedroom windows? Since it’s difficult to visualize from the second floor of a house that’s not yet built, bring a ladder and stand on it. Gaining perspective on the house from as many angles as possible is vital.
