Lake Ridge Virginia Real Estate Help For Sellers and Buyers

So You Want To Buy A New Home. Learn What You Need To Know And Why It Pays To Have A Realtor Help You.

The thought of buying a new home is exciting. Going out to preview all the builders models to see what floor plan works best for you and to see where you can afford to buy. That's the toughest part. Don't  you just hate it when you go to a Builders Model, you just saw the sign out front that says Starting In The Mid $400's

When you get inside the prices are $489,999 and everything that you ask about in the model is optional. Yikes! This is where a Realtor can save you a lot of time and energy and help you find the home that fits within your budget and in a community you will love.

There is so much for you to know about. It's is not just about looking at the pretty model home. A lot goes into building those homes.

Below is a series of video's that Erick Blackwelder my real estate partner is doing a home being built next to his home. The video series takes you from the start of construction on through to the framing of the home. At the bottom of the video featured area all the other video's Erick has done in the series and a bonus track about septic systems for acreage homes.

Another thing to consider when having a new home built is to know when to hire a good home inspector Jay Markanich in Prince William County Virginia, is the guy I would call.  He also writes some very good post and information for potential new home buyers. Jay says " Buying a new home can be very stressful". Here is a very good post on the differences in good builder versus not so good builder and what to look for. Read more

Learn What You Need To Know Before Buying A New Home.

Has the "New bugHome Bug" bitten you yet?


You'll know exactly when it has. You'll start dreaming about a new home just the same way you start dreaming about buying a new car. Let say, you have your sights on buying a new BMW, you want it bad. Before you know it you start seeing them everywhere in the exact color you want? Do you know why that happens? Well your reticular activator has just gone been turned on! Same thing happens when the "New Home Bug" bites!

Caution is needed here....


Things you need  to know before signing that new home builders contract here in Virginia.
                                                       

  1. Did you know that builders contracts in Virginia allow builders two years to complete a home?       (let assume their is a strike, or the builder runs into trouble...yes, they have two years to build your home.) If you thought short sales take a long time guess again.
  2. Did you know that most builders require you to use their designated lender when buying a home? It is true.
  3. Did you know that you cannot lock your interest rate until the builder lays the foundation on your home?
  4. Did you know that in order for a Builder to begin construction on your new home you need to pay the builder a sizable down payment? In many cases upwards of $10,000 or more?
  5. Did you know that the furniture and decorating in a model home can be upwards of $100,000 or more?
  6. Did you know that builders offer special incentives to unload less desirable lot?
  7. Did you know that it does not cost you a penny to have a Realtor help you when purchasing a new home?
  8. Did you know the sales person on-site works for the builder and does not represent you?
  9. Did you know that when you walk into a new home model and sign that little registration form that you give up your ability to have someone represent you?

All true...
.

So how can a Realtor be of help to you, when the "New Home Bug" Bites?

An experienced Realtor will coach you on all of the options available to you. We guide you and help you choose the best lot and help you realize which options are emotional options and which are critical for resale down the road. We also coach you on other factors. Lets say you were about to write a contract on a new home "to be built" and there was a home right down the street, or around the corner that was a foreclosure or short sale or a property listed by someone who was relocating and you could buy it now? Wouldn't you want to know that? Imagine if you missed buying a similar home for less money out of pocket, where you could lock-in your interest rate with many of the features the new home offers and in the end you could secure a better lot,a better value and a sure thing? Wouldn't you like to know that before you locked yourself into a new home contract?

All of us at Erick Blackwelder and Company have previously worked as new home sales managers." You will immediately realize our experience and knowledge or the entire process with put you at ease and help you feel confident in your decision,and the choices you make. We will help you every step of the way." And if an issue arises between you and the builder, you will have representation when emotions are kicked into high gear. 

Here are a few informational video posts my partner Erick Blackwelder has done about what goes on behind the scenes when having a home built and what we look for when working with a home builder.

New home builders are everywhere in every price range from small townhomes to luxury acreage homes. Some builders even have Immediate Inventory Homes. What are immediate delivery homes? These are homes that you can move into within 60 days or less!

Buying a new home can be so much fun. That said, you must keep in mind it is not just about falling in love with a pretty house. You must ask yourself:                                                     

  • Will the community work for you?
  • Do you have enough money for the Builders required earnest money deposit? 
  • What options can I afford?
  • What options should I consider for resale later on? 
  • Does the lot matter?
  • Would I be better to buy now so I can lock my interest rate?
  • Will I have more options or better choices if I consider having a home built?
  • When you buy a new home, you get to make all of those choices.
