Homebuyer Spotlight - New Home Construction | Shavonne Martin

Meet Christoffe & Chantelle! They found me on Instagram and reached out about purchasing their first home. Currently living in Austin, they were eager to find the best deals on new home construction. 🏘

Since they were particularly interested in new home construction, here are the suggestions I made for them and what you should consider if purchasing a new home:

Builder Reputation: Research builders thoroughly. Look for reviews, testimonials, and completed projects to ensure you're choosing a reliable and reputable builder.
Customization Options: New construction often allows for customization. From floor plans to finishes, make sure you understand what’s included and what’s extra.
Warranty and After-Sales Service: Confirm the warranty details on your new home. A good warranty can provide peace of mind and protection against future issues.
Timeline and Construction Delays: Understand the projected timeline and be prepared for potential delays. It’s important to have flexibility in your move-in plans.
Location and Community: Evaluate the neighborhood and community amenities. Consider future developments and how they might impact your investment.
Financing and Incentives: Explore builder financing options and incentives. Sometimes builders offer great deals, but it's important to compare them with other lenders.
Inspection and Quality Checks: Even though it's new, a home inspection is crucial. Hire a qualified inspector to ensure everything is up to code and built to last.
Future Resale Value: Consider the resale potential. Trends change, but a well-built home in a good location usually retains its value.

We explored the hottest new builds in town and compared them to resale options to find the perfect home that meets all their needs. It’s been a joy helping them navigate this significant milestone!
