Buying a New Construction Home

Why Having Your Own Agent Matters When Buying a New Construction Home

Buying a New Construction HomeFinding the right home is one of the biggest challenges for potential buyers today. Right now, the supply of homes for sale is still low. But there is a bright spot. Newly built homes make up a larger percent of the total homes available for sale than normal. That’s why, if you’re craving more options, it makes sense to see if a newly built home is right for you.

But it’s important to remember the process of working with a builder is different than buying from a homeowner. And, while builders typically have sales agents on-site, having your own agent helps make sure you have proper representation throughout your homebuying journey. As Realtor.com says:

“Keep in mind that the on-site agent you meet at a new-construction office works for the builder. So, as the homebuyer, it’s a smart idea to bring in your own agent, as well, to help you negotiate and stay protected in the transaction.”

Here’s how having your own agent is key when you build or buy a new construction home.

Use a real estate professional When Buying a New Construction HomeAgents Know the Local Area and Market

It’s important to consider how the neighborhood and surrounding area may evolve before making your home purchase. Your agent is well-versed in the upcoming communities and developments that could influence your decision. One way a real estate agent can help is by reviewing the builder’s site plan. For example, you’ll want to know if there are any plans to construct a highway or add a drainage ditch behind your prospective backyard.

Knowledge of Construction Quality and Builder Reputation

An agent also has expertise in the construction quality and reputation of different builders. They can give you insights into each one’s track record, customer satisfaction, and construction practices. Armed with this information, you can choose a builder known for consistently delivering top-notch homes.

Assistance with Customization and Upgrades

The most obvious benefit of opting for new home construction is the opportunity to customize your home. Your agent will guide you through that process and share advice on the upgrades that are most likely to add long-term value to your home. Their expertise helps make sure you focus your budget on areas that will give you the greatest return on your investment later.

Selling with an agent will help you negotiate a better dealUnderstanding Builder Negotiations and Contracts

When it comes to working with builders, having a skilled negotiator on your side can make all the difference. Builder contracts can be complex. Your agent can help you navigate these contracts to make sure you fully understand the terms and conditions. Plus, agents are skilled negotiators who can advocate for you, potentially securing better deals, upgrades, or incentives throughout the process. As Realtor.com says:

“A good buyer’s agent will be able to review any contracts before you sign on the dotted line, ensuring you aren’t unwittingly agreeing to terms that only benefit the builder.” 

Bottom Line

If you are interested in buying or building a new construction home, having a trusted agent by your side can make a big difference. If you’d like to start that conversation, let’s connect.

Mediterra Golf Club - Southwest FL golf property trendsYour go-to resource for Southwest FL golf property trends for Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, Fort Myers, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, and Sarasota.

Similar to last month, inventory increased slightly in several of the luxury golf communities throughout the area.

Almost all of the “equity” golf communities have multi-year waitlists. However, there are options for immediate golf privileges in those communities. It is important to have an experienced golf community expert help you navigate your options to ensure you find the lifestyle, community, and golf course of your dreams.

With more than 200 golf communities between Naples and Sarasota, it is a challenge to navigate all the various options for golf membership. That’s where we come in. Our vast relationships with all the golf communities in Southwest Florida allow us to serve our clients by making the home-buying or selling process an easy and enjoyable one.

While it may seem overwhelming at first, once we know how often you play, other desired club amenities, property type, and price range, we can help you narrow the list of clubs down to a handful that will potentially offer you the Florida golf lifestyle you are looking for.

2023 Naples FL Real Estate Recap

December 2023 Naples FL Real Estate Recap

naples florida real estate update september 2023The latest 2023 Naples FL real estate recap showed 551 properties sold for just over $666 Million during December. The highest-priced sale was a single-family home in Park Shore for $18,500,000.

Additionally, 181 of the real estate transactions for the month were at or above $1 Million. Collier County ended the year with $10.3 Billion worth of home sales. Once again, 40 percent of the 10 highest-priced home sales were in luxury golf communities, including Talis Park, Grey Oaks and Landings at Bears Paw.

Overall, inventory ended the month with 3,949 properties for sale, representing a 46 percent increase over the same time last year. It was also a 4.1 percent increase over the previous month. Similar to the prior month, there was a notable increase in new listings, 892 new properties that came to market during the month, giving Buyers more options. Additionally, Buyers have more time to make a purchasing decision with the days on market trending upwards.

Mike Hughes, Vice President and General Manager for Downing-Frye Realty, Inc., commented on the latest report, “More choices don’t seem to outweigh the other factors facing buyers right now, and so buyer sense of urgency has diminished. It isn’t like 2021 when a home would be listed and sold in the same day. Plus, many people today are hoping the Fed will drop rates again. But I always remind people that ‘if you see a property you like, there are likely many others who will like it too.’ As we say in the business, ‘marry the house and date the rate’ as you can always look into refinancing if rates go down.”

Overall demand for Naples real estate remains strong and continues to be a top destination for retirement. In fact, according to a recent SoFi Study, Naples was just ranked as the 2nd Happiest City to Retire. Of the 200 cities analyzed, Naples has the highest average life expectancy of 86.1 years.

Whether you are ready to retire now or in a few years, we can help you find the ideal community and home to fit your lifestyle.
