Buying a house is a big investment and usually a big step in anyone’s life.
The home that you choose to live in will affect nearly every aspect of your day-to-day life, so you want to make sure that the decision you make is the right decision for you and your family.
You don’t want to come to regret your decision later on. Because there are so many options on the market in today’s day and age, it is a very good idea to know the industry so that you can easily identify whether a house is right for you or not.
The first choice you will have to make is if you want to purchase a move in ready home or new construction.
There are several factors to take into account with each option and while there is no right or wrong answer, one or the other will probably make more sense for your specific situation.
A new construction home (unless you are building fa custom home from the ground up) will generally simply be a shell of a house that is waiting to be finished. The outside may be fairly complete, but the inside will have no plumbing or wiring yet. The walls, for the most part, will not be framed in. The reason for this is to give the buyer ultimate flexibility in being able to choose the layout of the house.
Where the bedrooms go, how many bathrooms there are, which walls are load-bearing, are all decisions that the buyer can make to customize the home as much as possible.
