New construction can be appealing, but the process differs from buying a resale home.
Before you sign
- Understand the builder contract, including deposits, upgrades, and timeline terms.
- Ask about warranties and what they cover.
- Get your own inspections, even on a new home. Some buyers inspect at framing and again before closing.
Bring your own agent
The builder’s sales representative works for the builder. A buyer’s agent represents you, and it is best to have them with you from your first visit. Have your attorney review the contract.
