Buying New Construction

Buying a new construction home is an exciting journey that offers the opportunity to customize your dream home from the ground up. However, navigating the process can seem daunting without the right guidance. So what does the process look like?

You’ll start by researching builders, communities, and available lots around Bear Lake. This is something that I can help you with. You’ll want to consider factors such as reputation of the builder, quality of construction, local amenities, and proximity to schools, shopping, and recreational facilities. You’ll also want to determine your budget, including getting pre-approved for a mortgage loan.

Once you've narrowed down your options, meet with builders to discuss floor plans, features, and customization options. Before signing, review the builder's contract carefully and ensure you understand all terms and conditions. Pay attention to important details such as warranties, construction timelines, payment schedules, and allowances for upgrades or changes. Again, this is something I’ll be able to help you with as my local network and experience in new constriction is extensive.

Prior to closing, you’ll want to schedule a final walk-through to inspect the completed home and identify any remaining issues or punch list items.

Key Considerations Before Beginning

✅ Construction timeline and delays

✅ Warranties and after-sales service

✅ Don’t forget a home inspection and quality control
