What should you know before buying new construction?
- Get an inspection anyway. New homes can still have issues; a third-party inspection is worth it.
- Ask about the builder warranty and what it covers, for how long.
- Check utilities. Outside town limits, some homes use septic; know what you're getting.
- Bring your own agent. Having representation on a new build is usually free to you and can help with negotiations. See our builder incentives post for examples.
