- Be aware of the floor plan.Your builder may have a few floor plan choices available to select from. The floor plan of your new home is integral to understanding how you will fit within the home. If you are concerned about one area or another, it’s important to bring that up when you meet with your builder.
- Take your time to find the right neighborhood.Many builders operate in different areas, different neighborhoods, across a region. It’s important to find the one that works best for you. Consider your commute, the surrounding schools, and any local parks you may want to utilize.
- Keep in mind warranties and behind the scenes improvements.Your builder may offer you a warranty, or a warranty might come automatically. Being aware of what the warranty covers could save you some headaches later. In addition, your builder may offer services that prolong your house’s overall life and reduces potential stress years later. Improved termite prevention, or sealing the foundation aren’t improvements you will see but are definitely improvements you want.
