Common Misconceptions about New Construction
The cost of new construction is more than purchasing an existing home. This is a popular belief and is not true. The best part about new construction is that you can have everything on your wish list for the same cost as purchasing an existing home that may not have your dream design and selections.
The new construction timeline is always years. You can expect to move in within one year from the starting date.
There are surprise costs when building a new home. Your real estate agent will guide in selecting a home construction company that guarantees their construction, ensuring there are no hidden surprise costs.
Financing new construction is complicated and expensive. Financing new construction is just like financing an existing home and actually costs less money. Your real estate agent can introduce you to home models that only require a 10% down payment to begin construction.
