8 STEPS
For Building a New Home
1. Define Your Budget and Priorities – Clarify your price range, preferred location, and build timeline before touring model homes. 2. Work with a Trusted Real Estate Professional – New construction is complex. I work directly with local builders and regularly tour model homes to help clients navigate their options. 3. Explore Communities and Builders – Compare new construction neighborhoods across the North, South, East, and West Metro using area-specific guides. 4. Select a Floor Plan and Lot – Builders offer set plans and lots within each community. Your lot choice affects privacy, natural light, yard space, and long-term value.
5. Write the Purchase Agreement – Review and sign the builder’s contract outlining price, specifications, allowances, and timelines. 6. Make Design Selections – Choose structural upgrades, finishes, colors, and fixtures during your design appointments. 7. Construction and Walkthroughs – Most builds take 6–9 months. You’ll attend milestone walkthroughs to monitor progress. 8. Final Inspection and Closing – Complete a final walkthrough, address punch-list items, and sign closing documents before move-in.
Many buyers also choose to sell their current home once construction is underway or use bridge loans or HELOCs to manage timing.
