New car smell, meet new house smell. But is new always better?
Travis Wright here, with eXp Realty. New construction gets you modern layouts, energy-efficient systems, and a builder warranty. Builders sometimes offer incentives too, like help with closing costs. The trade-offs are usually smaller yards, young trees, and sometimes waiting for the build to finish.
Resale homes often come with bigger lots, mature trees, and established streets. And there's more room to negotiate. The trade-off? Older roofs and systems, so the inspection matters even more.
One tip on new builds: bring your own agent from the first visit. The builder's sales rep works for the builder. I work for you, and in most cases the builder pays my fee.
If there are any homes you'd like to see, just reply with the word HOMES, and I'll set up a showing.
