Why Chose a "New" home?

New homes are making a comeback. Grand openings seem to be happening every week. Parties, Celebrations, Wine and Cheese events for Brokers are popping up in my email box on a weekly basis all across the valley! Invites to drive traffic and spark interest in these new communities being built. Enticing not only the potential buyer but their agent as well to spread the word, spark the interest and sell their homes! Each builder seems to be offering some sort of extra incentive or feature to bring the buyers in. These new communities are plugging away at money saving features such as "energy efficient" homes, space saver storage, modern home layouts for the modern family, updated safety features, gourmet kitchens with standard granite countertops and more. They are driving consumers with more choices than ever to think new, fresh, clean and hassle-free by buying "new" verses staying in and remodeling their existing homes. "Leave the renovations up to the investors some say." What does this mean for the existing homeowner who is looking to sell their home in an area where these never been touched, never been lived in or used homes are popping up with features buyers may not be able to resist? There is competition! If you are an existing homeowner who is looking to sell, you have to make some decisions as to how you want to market your property. How can you stand out from your competition? Is it features? Price? Location? Lot size? Existing Pool? (Remember you can get somewhere between $10,000-$20,000 for a pool resale- which may have cost $20,000-$60,000 to build new!) Gorgeous Landscaping? All of these features as well as your goal in selling can be discussed with your Realtor to determine the best course of action for you when selling your home. Market is all about supply and demand. Price is determined not only by appraised value or market value but also by what a buyer is willing to pay for what YOU have at a particular moment in time. Whether you are looking to buy new, resale or sell your existing home to maximize your profits. Call me for your free consultation to determine your needs and we can point you in the right direction. When buying a home always have your own representation whether you are looking at land, resale or new build homes, the agent the represents the seller/builder represents them, have someone looking out for YOUR best interest.
