AN INTRODUCTION TO FINDING THE BEST NEW HOMES FOR SALE

Shopping for new homes for sale is not always as easy as it sounds. With so many new homebuilders, it’s easy to get lost in the maze of builders and advertising in order to dig down and find the best ones. What you need is a quick how-to guide for finding the best new homes for sale. Here you go!

Online Searches
There are countless online resources for homebuyers these days, and many of them include new homes, not just resale. Start with some of the home sales sites that allow you to fine tune your search to narrow it down to new homes. Zillow is one that has this option; Trulia is another. Just make sure you choose new construction or new homes. This is a great place to start your search.

Go Shopping
Most new homebuilders and new neighborhoods have model homes and open houses. Go take a look. Don’t be shy; they have them there for you to look at. You can see what types of floor plans they have, how the light comes in the windows, how big the kitchen are, and you can see some of the options and upgrades in real life.

While you’re there, look closely at the features and the quality of the entire home. Like what you see but not where you see it? It’s likely the salesperson at the model home office can give you information on other neighborhoods being built by the same builder.

Ask a Realtor
This seems obvious, but with the online resources, many people are checking there for homes long before they talk to a realtor. Real estate agents can be your best source of information on new construction. They know the areas, they see the homes, and they can help guide you in your choices of builder and location.

Think you’re ready to start the hunt? Before you do, there’s one other online resource you can’t miss.
