The Advantages of Buying Before Construction Begins

Did you know that the best time to purchase a home in a new community is at the very beginning? It’s true—being one of the first homebuyers comes with significant advantages that can set you up for long-term success.

When a community is in its early stages, there is a unique opportunity to secure a home at a lower price before demand and momentum increase. As the model home is built and interest in the community grows, home prices typically rise. By acting early, you can lock in a competitive price and position yourself favorably in the housing market.

However, it's understandable that some buyers may feel hesitant about being among the first in a new community. Concerns about potential construction disruptions, uncertain future developments, or the desire to see how a community evolves can lead to cautious decision-making. While these concerns are valid, the benefits of early investment far outweigh the drawbacks.

Here are a few compelling reasons to consider buying early:

1. Lower Prices: Purchasing early means you can secure a home at a lower price point. As demand increases, prices typically follow suit, which could mean paying significantly more if you wait too long.

2. Greater Choice: Early buyers often have more options when it comes to floor plans, upgrades, and locations within the community. This flexibility allows you to choose a home that perfectly fits your needs and lifestyle.

3. Building Equity: By buying before the community is fully developed, you start building equity sooner. This equity can provide financial leverage for future investments or help fund your next home.

4. Settling In Early: Moving into your new home before the community fills up allows you to enjoy a more tranquil living experience. You can establish relationships with neighbors and become part of the community while it’s still in its early stages.
