Phoenix growth is exploding, thanks to its great winter weather and good job client. If you are considering relocating to Phoenix, building your home is a possibility here. But for most of us, it won't be a custom home. Instead, you'll have a choice of floor plans and a few variations in the outside of the home. If you are considering having your home built in the Phoenix or Scottsdale area, consider these 5 tips:
1 If you don't read anything else, read the subdivision report! Home builders are required to submit a subdivision report, which contains information about the subdivision and what is nearby. The report will spell out whether any of the subdivision is in a flood zone, where the water will be coming from, the nature of the soil, and other important things you should know before you buy.
2. The big builders' homes look boxy because boxy is more cost effective. Subdivision homes look the same because they are easier to build that way. Home builders work to keep costs down and one of those ways they keep costs down is to make the architecture of the home simple to build. Unless you have over $1.1 million to build custom, settle for some nice stone work in front, call in a designer for the interior and concentrate on making your back yard really cool. After all, Phoenix is all about outdoor living.
3. Check for Incentives. Though builders don't normally drop the base price, they do throw in incentives. Get your own real estate agent and have your agent shop those incentives for you if you have more than one builder to choose from. You don't get a better deal when you come in the builder's sales office without an ฝากขายคอนโด Agent, you just don't get represented. If you are relocating to Phoenix, get an agent! There are many details about homes here that may be different than where you live now.
4. Get an inspection. Call in an independent inspector to check the home, at least before your warranty expires. When you sell your home, the buyer will have an inspector look at the home, so why not find those defects while the builder will still fix them for free.
5. Builder extras equate to mega-dollars. Builders generally overcharge for extras. Consider your extras carefully. Some homeowners have saved over $10,000 by putting in their own upgraded tile after they bought the home. Expect a mess though. Your pristine new home will have to be re-cleaned once the tile is installed
