Dallas Homebuilders Are Motivated to Sell - Get a Great Deal on New Construction!

June 17, 2022 Wendy Pannell

If you're in the market for a new construction home in Dallas, now is a great time to buy.

Builders are struggling to sell homes due to rising interest rates, which presents a unique opportunity for buyers. In this blog post, we'll discuss why now is a great time to buy a new construction home in Dallas and how you can take advantage of the current market conditions.

As you may know, interest rates on mortgages have been on the rise lately. This has caused problems for home builders, who are struggling to sell homes that had already been under contract. Buyers are backing out of their contracts because they can't qualify for the higher interest rates and there aren't as many new buyers that do qualify. This has put some builders in a tough spot and created an opportunity for savvy buyers to get a great deal on a new construction home.

With all of the unbelievable incentives builders are offering, now is the time to buy new construction in Dallas!

Builders are offering fantastic incentives like paying buyers’ closing costs and paying down their interest rates. Some builders are offering free refinances for when interest rates go down. They will happily consider types of financing that are difficult to use in a competitive market. Buyers who have been unsuccessful in the past are not only getting their offers accepted, they’re also getting fantastic deals!

In conclusion, now is not the time to wait if you’re hoping for new construction in the DFW area

Builders are struggling to sell homes due to rising interest rates, which presents a unique opportunity for buyers. If you're interested in taking advantage of the current market conditions, call us today! We'll help you find the perfect new construction home - at a price you can afford.

The Pros and More Pros of New Construction vs. Older Homes

May 9, 2022 Wendy Pannell

There are many factors to consider when deciding whether to buy a new construction home or an existing home. Some people prefer the idea of starting fresh with a brand new home, while others find charm and character in an older home. Ultimately, the decision comes down to personal preference and what you value most in a home.

If you're leaning towards new construction, there are pros, pros, and more pros for you to consider! New construction homes are often more energy-efficient than older homes which can save you money on your utility bills. They also tend to have more modern amenities and features that you may want or need in a home. New construction homes also come with a builder's warranty, so you can have peace of mind knowing that any issues that do arise will be covered.

Location-wise, new construction homes often come in master planned subdivisions where you'll have access to amenities like pools, playgrounds, and walking trails. There are new construction subdivisions that actually have their own beaches or private lakes. You're unlikely to find that in older, more established subdivisions. Another big pro is new construction neighborhoods will often come with onsite schools. If the city is expanding with a huge new subdivision it makes sense they would need new schools as well!

If you're leaning towards an older home, there are still plenty of pros for you to consider! Older homes often have more charm and character than new construction homes. They also tend to be located in established neighborhoods with more mature trees and landscaping. They may also have features that are not commonly found in new construction homes, such as fireplaces, hardwood floors, or built-in cabinets. Of course, older homes can also come with their own set of problems, such as outdated wiring or plumbing, but this is something that you can negotiate with the seller.

It may not always come down to new vs old when you're deciding on a home. If you have a particular city or school district in mind, you may not get a choice! Many suburbs have only new or only older homes. Frisco for example, will mostly only have newer homes. On the other hand, cities like Arlington, Plano, Coppell or Grapevine have very little new construction. If you have your heart set on any of those communities you'll probably have to settle for an older home.

In the end, it's important to weigh all of your options and decide what's best for you and your family. There are pros and cons to both new construction homes and older homes. It's up to you to decide what's most important to you in a home and find the perfect fit for your family.

Do you have any questions about new construction vs older homes? We'd be happy to chat with you and help you make the best decision for your situation! Give us a call anytime. We look forward to hearing from you!
