The Top Three Tips For New Home Buyers

Find a new home

There are many new homes to buy which come already in beautiful, top notch, pristine condition. This is not always the case, however. When looking at new homes to buy, there are plenty of things which you must keep in mind to ensure that you are getting the house of your dreams, but also a fair deal.

Getting ripped off or led on by contractors and real estate agents happens all too often, so I thought I would offer those looking into new homes to buy some advice when buying a home. I hate to see people taken advantage of. When it is time to find a new home, please keep the following tips in mind…

1. Customize it.

When I was buying my first home, I had it built. It was a one of those beautiful waterfront luxury homes that you see in movies. I loved literally every inch of it…except for the carpet in the living room. It was an ugly maroon which clashed horribly with the crimson walls.

When looking into new homes to buy, definitely be sure to let your contractor know any special customized aspects of the home when they start building. You may also be able to persuade the builders to make changes if they are not to your liking.

2. Shop Around For Financing.

New homes to buy can turn into a lifetime of expenses. Bear in mind that builders usually work with banks for financing options. Definitely look around at different financing options before signing a mortgage. Building companies cannot force you into using their financing options, so know your stuff. Compare and contrast all your options. Come to the builder with a better deal than their bank is offering, and watch the builder compete and lower their interest rates in return!

3. Read and Know Your Warranty.

When looking into new homes to buy, you will definitely want to know and understand every word of your warranty. You will want to know exactly what your warranty covers, how long it lasts for, and if the building company is required to make the necessary repairs. New homes to buy can be full of great deals, or full of disappointing surprises. It all depends on the warranty and contract.
