Today, we want to discuss some of the crucial mistakes people make when buying a new home and how you can avoid them! Here are some of the pitfalls buyers fall victim to:
- Buying into half-finished developments: Many housing developments are only half-built. Keep a healthy dose of skepticism about these scenarios. It may be that you are buying into a development or community that will never be completed or that will take a very long time to finish. Worst case scenario, you'll be stuck with an unsellable house in an unfinished community.
- Being fooled by the picture-perfect model home: Model homes are always decorated and dressed to look magnificent. Developers and designers use many techniques to make the model home appear bigger than it actually is.
- Failing to get a completion clause: When will the home be finished? When purchasing a new construction home, you are at the mercy of the builder's timelines. When is the home scheduled to be completed? Does it match your needs? Make sure you get a cancellation clause or a refund-of-deposit clause if the builder fails to complete the home by the agreed upon date.
- Waiving your inspection: Just because you're buying a brand new home, it's not wise to bypass the inspection process just to save a few hundred dollars. In fact, it's crucial to get expert eyes on the home as it is being built.
