New Construction...Now's the time

So many people I meet dream of building a new home. Everyone has a "dream home" pictured in their mind. Many people even have stashed away the sketch and floor plan of their dream home. Yet, most people don't ever take the opportunity to make their dream a reality. And, I think that's sad. Sad because it's not really the overwhelmingly stress inducing experience people fear. To build a new home can be exciting, thrilling and gives a wonderful feeling of accomplishment!

One key factor to a good building experience is to find the right builder. I believe experience is important as is trustworthiness. It's also extremely important that you feel comfortable when talking with your builder. After all, this is someone you will be speaking with on a regular basis for months! Ask for references, call the references and usually when these people are happy, they are more than willing to invite you into their home to see the builder's work!

Financing. Also, not as confusing as anticipated. I work with a wonderful mortgage lender whose program for new construction offers one close! Yes, a construction loan that rolls into a traditional 30 year fixed loan with aggressive rates, closing costs and as I said earlier, only 1 closing! A fabulous program from a lender with a reputation that builders are pleased to work with!

Location, location, location! When selecting where to build your home, many lifestyle factors need to be considered. Ease of commute, noise level, view, through street or cul de sac? The list goes on and on. I am currently working to complete the selling of Bluff Head Estates in North Guilford. What fantastic lots! Some are perfectly level and open, others rolling and wooded, some on the cul de sac, others set away from the road. You get the gist. But all are in a peaceful location 30 minutes to Hartford or 20 minutes to New Haven. Cul de sac streets too! And the ability to bring in your own builder if you so choose!!

Think about it, you deserve to have your dream home become a reality. And, it's closer than you may have thought, I hope to hear from you soon!
