🤔 Pros and Cons of Buying a New Build

✔️ Pros:

  • Brand-new finishes and appliances

  • No surprises like worn roofs or foundation issues

  • Energy-efficient (better insulation, HVAC)

  • Builder warranty = peace of mind

  • Modern layouts + optional customization

⚠️ Cons:

  • May take 6–12 months to build

  • Landscaping and fencing often extra

  • Upgrades can add up quickly

  • New communities may lack mature trees or schools

  • Can’t always negotiate price like with a resale home


🤝 Do I need a Realtor for a new build?

Yes — especially before you walk into a show home.

Here’s why:

  • Builders pay your realtor — it doesn’t cost you more

  • A realtor can compare builders, not just homes

  • They help with contracts, timelines, walkthroughs

  • Realtors can often spot unnecessary upgrades

  • If you sign in at a show home without your agent, some builders may not allow you to use one later

Best practice: Bring your realtor to your first visit or let us register you ahead of time so you’re protected.
