Some will look to completely remodel the home before they move in while others will reason that they can make changes to the home over time. But when you buy new construction, you have the opportunity to speak directly to the builder about what you want in your home.

They can even help you understand the purchase contract and assist you with pricing and negotiations.  Please keep in mind that most builders require that you have your real estate agent accompany you on the first visit.

Choose your lot

With a resale home, you are not able to hand pick which lot you want to place your home on. On the other hand, if you partner with a builder on a new construction, you may be able to select your lot. This empowers you to choose from different views, street placement and other factors that may be important to you. Some communities including Blackstone at Vistancia offer custom homesites which allow you to even further create a home that is tailored for you.
