Those are legitimate concerns. Thank you for sharing. The Utah housing market peaked in May 2022. Then prices dropped the rest of the year, approx. $100k. But home prices have been increasing since the beginning of the year. Prices are up $42k in 2023. The next few months could be bumpy, but those who don't buy a home before 2024 will regret it. I'd love to chat with you before you start the process. I've helped 600 people build here in Utah & I know which builders provide the best service & value.

Thank you for your time and efforts to inform. I am researching and taking notes on my initial phases of house hunting or building. I’m struggling settling on a house that doesn’t check all my boxes. So I may be building, yet my biggest fear is not finding a builder that is as transparent as I’d like. I understand my biggest leverage position is before the contract is signed, but will I be able to negotiate everything, such as paint, tile, fixtures etc. to ensure I know exactly what I’m building and getting before I sign. Next fear would be holding the builder accountable for things I see aren’t right such as shower waterproofing.

Thanks for watching. It sounds like you probably need to build, but you may have a hard time with it because the build process can be... tough & even sloppy sometimes. Most builders will not allow you to visit the design center before you write a contract. So there is some mystery or faith on your part. I suggest finding a small to mid size local builder that has a good online rating. Best of luck to you my friend. BTW, where are you looking to buy a home?

I did a design change to remove two posts from the basement to create open space. They said they had to install a reinforced steel beam. Now it’s installed and the beam is taller and sits at 6’ 6” from the floor. Didn’t see anything that said it’ll be that low.

I don’t, but it’s the first investing strategy that my wife and I used. We would live in one house while building another. Then we would sell the house we were living in 2-3 months before The other house was completed so we could build equity in two homes while only having one mortgage. Then, we would move into the brand new home and do the same thing again. It’s a great strategy but a little more risky because the market could change during the build process and leave you in a tough situation. Where do you live? How was your market?

Could you also add that at closing , your walk through with the builder, you find issues how you can hold the builder to fix issue in a" timely manner". They will promise you to fix the issue so that you'll close. But after that, some builder drag their feet out. Would you recommend having the a lawyer review your contract for the construction prior to signing it ?

Hi, been listening to so many different sites about buying new construction home and older homes...so what is the way to find out which home builders has the most positive review in their homes and warranties and upgrades without overcharging...we are 1st time homebuyers... and decide ding whether getting a price lesser home (new construction also vs a slightly bigger 2 story and spending the upgrades on the lower priced new construct home instead? Also any new info on January 2021 real estate market with new construction homes... in order to get a lower price new construct we had to look further north like 30 minutes to 40 min drive from Marin county (where I lived for 30 years rentin)g.. and hour to SF area...there are 2 builder we were interested in their homes next to each other basically same area...Signature Homes and KB homes

Thank you for your insights. We are looking to build with Maronda homes in Brevard county Florida (500-600k range). Meeting to work out the final numbers at the end of the week. They require 3.5% down. My biggest concern is rising interest rate. It will take 12 months to complete, interest rate is already over 5.4% today for the most qualified borrowers, how high will it be then? 7%? 8? It will surely drive many ppl away, myself included, and it's my biggest hesitation with the new build. A big risk!!

I recently looked at a new home community with Richmond American. A few days later, I was told that the prices of the homes are getting ready to go up at least 2,000. How much are builders allowed to raise the prices? Also, how much do you think the prices could be increased from now until Dec of this year of the base price of one home is 326,000?

Thanks for watching my video & for your excellent question. Home builders can increase their homes as often as they like & they usually do it for 2 reasons. #1 because they're selling more homes than they were expecting #2 to keep up with pricing in the area. If they say they are raising prices, I would believe them & be prepared for prices to go up more than the $2,000 because you never know what they'll do. As far as predicting prices that is tough to do especially with the Coronavirus potentially coming back in the fall. I'm guessing home prices won't skyrocket this or next year but they could continue to climb depending on your market. Where are you looking to build a home?

Glenda Garcia First of all, thank you for watching my videos and thanks for your excellent question. Most builders want a earnest money deposit plus a construction deposit.

I've spent the last 15+ years representing builders. I know better than most that they are not perfect & I'm not going to defend that. It's just that there are a lot of things that people don't have control over & I want people to understand that before they commit. Thanks for watching & for your comment.

So I know I want to build a custome home. The ones I did look at did not completely check off list. I did start to screenshot the cabinets bathroom flooring the paint colors for my walls, type of appliances I want, finish basements and all sorts of things. I looked through different homes to get ideas on what I want, like chandeliers, doors and other things like HVACs room size, etc. I'm pretty sure I'm missing a few things but I'm giving myself options to see what I want. My only fear is the length of time it will take because it's a custom home. Also, what alternative housing while it's being built. I was thinking of having a prefab home and later after moving to the main house, using the smaller to rent out. Another thing I looked at is lands. I look at homesites and undeveloped lands. I know for the undeveloped lands will add more time to be cleared so they can build. I find a lot of land to be cheaper but I have found some homesite lands with a great price. Depends on where and how much land it has. If there was anything I missed, let me know so I can add that to my list.

Ty, my realtor and builder use the same preferred lender. (Separate but preferred lender) I knew my realtor did but found out about the builder using this lender after a random visit to a new build neighborhood. Should I trust these guys because they all know one another? Or is having them all In cahoots a bad thing for me? Is this a good or bad idea to work with them all. Is this a trustworthy situation? Or should I feel even more protected and secure that they will get things done quickly and swiftly?

Thanks for watching & for your EXCELLENT Question. The answer is most likely no. Most builders will not allow you to do this & there are a lot of good reasons. Some bad ones too, like they want to make more money off of you. But you can always ask. In most situations, you will need to leave the standard options in the home & then replace them later. I hope this helps. Best of luck to you my friend.

So we own a lot and are looking for a builder for sometime this year. My concern is that most builders will require the full down payment first since we own the lot. In your experience is that something we could negotiate with a substantial earnest payment + a mortgage qualification? Selling our home too early would leave us homeless 😬

Yeah, we built our last home the same way. It's a lot harder than building with a track builder. We took out a construction loan & paid the builder as we went.

Sorry, is MI Homes a builder or are you talking about homes in Michigan? LOL.

As a rookie in selecting a home builder I was ripped off. The worst thing was that the builder had a septic area inspector map out the land. It was approved and the building began. Then right before closing, the septic area was deemed unacceptable. So my builder had to create another septic field. I still have no clue about all of the specific details, but it cost us $35k extra. The builder said that he 'took care of it', but this was just added on to the overall price and this was obviously a total lie. But what else could we have done a few days before moving in? My builder was terrible and we regret working with them, but once again it was far too late in the process.
