Read on for a few questions you should think about asking your home builder when you're buying a new construction.
What Features Of The Home Are Standard?
When you’re walking around a model home for the first time, you may notice incredible features within the home that you’d like to see replicated on your own home. Well, asking your builder what features come standard is a great first step! Some builders have standard features that are pretty upscale so you don’t have to worry about purchasing any upgrades to have the nicer line, while others have a lower-tier package available for their standard features and you can purchase higher-grade features at an additional cost. Know your options!
Are There Incentives For Using The Builder Preferred Lender?
Not all but some home builders offer incentives for using their preferred lender. Whether it’s discounts toward closing costs or free upgrades to your home, ask your home builder if they have a preferred lender and if there are any incentives for using that preferred lender, so that you are able to get the most out of your home-building experience!
How Long Is The Build Time?
In today’s market, build time is varying more than it used to due to the overall industry delays in materials. So keep in mind, that the previous average build time may not apply to any new construction you purchase today. Confirm with your builder an estimated build time so you can make sure you still have a living situation until your new home is prepared.
Is Landscaping Included?
Some builders include your basic yard work, while others leave you with unfinished land that becomes your responsibility to landscape. Ask your builder their standard practice when it comes to landscaping so you can be prepared before that bridge even has to be crossed. There may also be warranties available on lawn care, so make sure you are aware of those benefits as well!
Is There A Homeowner’s Association?
Knowing whether or not there is an HOA for the community you are building within will help you determine the standards and rules of the community. It will also help you know upfront about any additional HOA fees or what benefits the HOA will provide while you’re living there!
