Interested in New Construction? Let’s chat.

There are so many things to love about New Construction! Each year, as more new developments and communities pop up in the Indy area, we see more of our clients take an interest in building vs buying an existing home. We love helping you evaluate and weigh all of your options!

We always have an in depth conversation about the differences between buying a new build vs buying an existing home. Here’s some questions to ask yourself:

  1. What’s your budget? Keep in mind new homes are often more expensive

  2. What’s your timeline? If you hope to move into something quickly, new construction may not be the best option for you, unless you buy a spec home that’s ready to close in the next 30-60 days.

  3. Do you like to do projects? If your answer is no, new construction may be a good fit. Everything is brand new and under a great warranty, so you won't need to do any fixing up for a while.

  4. Are you looking for something specific? New construction homes have modern, open concept floor plans and opportunities for customizations to best fit your needs.

Why You Need a Realtor 

We look out for YOU as a member of your team. An important thing to remember is, while the sales rep is very knowledgeable and helpful, at the end of the day, the sales rep works for the builder, not for you. That ultimately means the sales rep is looking out for the builder's best interest, not yours. It’s our job to ask the questions that protect you and get clear answers to help you make informed decisions!

How do we help?

  • We educate you about the process.
  • We help interpret the "builder language".
  • We help you evaluate and compare all of your options.
  • We help you make the best choices to increase re-sale value.
  • We make sure you’re paying a fair price for the home you want.
  • We fight for you if things don't go as planned.
