Tips on Buying New and Pre-Construction Homes

There are so many new Sedona homes going up all over the area. As a buyer it's tempting to want to view, tour and even buy one these fabulous new homes. If you have seen some homes online, on our site or driven by some homes and developments thinking you would like a closer look, we have some tips you should know before you investigate further.

KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CAN AFFORD

There is nothing more discouraging then viewing and touring Sedona homes and getting all excited to buy just to learn you really can't afford what you have been looking at. It helps to have an ideal set amount or limit in your mind and your budget before venturing out to view Sedona homes. Sit down with a lender to work up a comfortable figure you can work with.

DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN THE EMOTIONAL SIDE

Buying a brand new home can be so exciting and overwhelming, many new home owners don't even have inspections thinking the house is new, it must be perfect. You don't know how each home was constructed and some new Sedona homes can cut corners and install the cheapest appliances. Its a highly recommended option to have an inspector tour the home prior to closing for a report on the home and any future issues that may come up.

HAVE YOUR OWN BUYERS AGENT BEFORE YOU ENTER A MODEL HOME

 Most show rooms and model homes are going to be manned by their own agent just waiting for an unsuspecting buyer to come through and be overwhelmed by the excitement they will put an offer in right there. The problem with this is, that agent is working solely for the builder or developer and their interest lies with the seller and not the buyer. They may be ethical and responsible but are not truly working for the buyer since the seller has come to them first. The first priority is to sell the home not find the buyer the RIGHT home.

Having a buyers agent in place before you tour allows you to not be pressured into buying a home you really may not want or need. By stating up front you are already working with an agent this will allow you to get the deal you want and the home you really desire.
