We bought a new construction in PA. We did a private pre-drywall inspection and also a final inspection. Minors things were found and fixed before the closing. The experience with the Project Manager was great. However, financing with the preferred lender was a nightmare. After a few weeks of negotiations they decided to match other lender’s rate and let us use the credit toward the closing costs. Otherwise they were using all the credit to buydown the rate and match the other lender rate. When we said, you know what, we’re not doing the loan with you, the comes up with a better deal.
This is a great explanation of how new build comparble sales work. Never thought about it that way.i always wondered why they offered such large upgrade or appliances discounts at times. It's so they can keep the actual sales price elevated. I get the reasoning behind it but still feels just a bit deceptive to me. 😅
I agree it is very deceptive and I am hopeful. The CFPB will look into it. You should also check out my video that’s a few years old, but it’s called fake builder credits. It’s a classic.
Even if builders give $X in concessions, one needs to know if those upgrades are being inflated compared to market. A great example is flooring. Builders charge almost double for flooring to be done compared to having it done after closing.
Hi Jen, so even we have a home inspector, but how do we know if that person is doing the right work, if he checks everything or not? And is there a guarantee from what the inspector does or not?
I have not seen any home inspectors prosecuted when they make mistakes, and I hear about a lot of mistakes. The best thing you can do is really research the home inspector before you hire them and ask to have the home inspector walk you through everything at the end of their inspection. That’s the only way you’re going to know they checked everything is if you literally have them walk you through everything they looked at and ask questions.
My first house was new construction and I had issues from the start. My builder never asked if they could help, never visited the property after closing, never spoke to me again. Took my money and ran.
You need to either have a Realtor or represent and negotiate for yourself. The builder sales associate 100% works for the builder no matter how sweet they seem they are not working to get YOU the best deal

Yep they love to give you a terrible deal until you threaten to walk. It’s cray

I wish you had made this video before I decided to buy my house 2 1/2 years ago.
Hey me and CJ are going through this!!!
Thank you for this.
My first house was new construction and I had issues from the start. My builder never asked if they could help, never visited the property after closing, never spoke to me again. Took my money and ran.
Sorry to hear you went through that. Need legislation around builders for sure
you're in coral springs now? or just one of your offices?
I moved to Florida in 2/23:)
Damn!!.... I wish you was my real estate agent I closed on my new construction September 4th😮

So, do I not need a realtor if buying new construction?

Jen who pays for the home inspection?
Buyer unless you negotiate for seller to buy I would always recommend buyer so you pick the inspector
Honorable mention to CY Porter! Excellent home inspector! 😂
Love his channels and his aggressive fight to protect buyers:)
