Before you start browsing new construction homes, it’s important to assess your financial situation.

* Get pre-approved for a mortgage: Speak with a lender to get pre-approved for a loan. This will give you a better idea of how much you can afford and show builders that you're a serious buyer.

* Consider additional costs: Keep in mind that the price of the home isn’t the only cost involved. Closing costs, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance should also be factored into your budget.

* Factor in long-term expenses: Ensure the home fits your financial situation for the long haul. Consider utility costs, maintenance, and any HOA fees.

New construction homes often offer a variety of floor plans and customization options.

* Size and layout: Think about how much space you need, including the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and any additional rooms like an office or home gym.

* Customization options: Many builders allow you to customize your home with upgrades such as kitchen finishes, flooring, cabinetry, or smart home technology.

* Consider future needs: Don’t just think about your current lifestyle—consider how your needs might change in the next 5-10 years (e.g., growing family, working from home, etc.).

Once you’ve selected your home and signed a purchase agreement, carefully review all the terms.

* Understand the timeline: New construction homes often have a longer timeline than buying an existing home, so make sure you're clear about when construction will be completed and when you can move in.

* Review warranties: A new home typically comes with a builder’s warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. Understand the coverage period and what’s included.

* Upgrades and costs: Clarify which upgrades are included in the base price and which ones come at an additional cost.

New homes are often built on a “schedule” that can vary, so it’s important to stay in touch with the builder throughout the construction process. Many of our homes are inventory homes that has high quality options preselected that are standard features for our products.

* Walkthroughs and inspections: Request regular updates and site visits to ensure that the work is being done to your satisfaction. Many buyers also hire an independent inspector to check the quality of work during key milestones.

* Stay informed: Understand any delays that may arise during construction and ensure you're in the loop on any changes that may affect your timeline or budget.

Welcome to the Azul Homes family!

As construction nears completion, you’ll have the opportunity to do a final walkthrough before closing.

* Inspect the home: Check every detail of the home, looking for anything that isn’t finished, any defects, or issues that need to be addressed before moving in.

* Request repairs: If there are issues, it’s essential to get them resolved before closing. The builder should fix any problems before you take ownership.

* Sign closing documents: Once everything is in order, you’ll go through the closing process, sign the final documents, and transfer ownership.
