New Home Construction- Planning for Spring Building?
Posted on Tue, Dec 20, 2011
Now is a great time to start the process if you haven't already.
It is time to get prequalified with a lender. That will let you know if credit repair is needed, and it will give you a price range. Most long term lenders offer online prequalification. If you prefer, you can make an appointment to pre-qualify in person with a lender. There are specific requirements for some lending programs that are unique to new construction.
Once you have a price range, you can begin narrow down your house plan. Some builders will have plans available for you to look at. Before you do that it is a good idea to make a list of must have features. Things that you must have; things that would be nice; and things that are really just not that important to you. That will help you narrow down the choices to be made later.
Shopping for your builder can begin even before you are prequalified. Do your homework, check the builder out, look to see that they are properly licensed , bonded, or insured. Ask for recommendations, from real people who have worked with the builder. Ask builders if they have a list of references.
We are always will to answer questions about the process.
