How To Negotiate When Buying a New Construction Home
from The AJ Team Realty Podcast
If you’re thinking about buying a new construction home, you need to know this before you step into the builder’s sales office. A lot of buyers assume the price is set, so they stop negotiating and end up overpaying in ways they don’t see until closing. Today, we’re breaking down where the real wiggle room is, like lot premiums, upgrade packages, rate buydowns, and closing cost credits, so you know what to ask for. We’ll also show you why knowing your numbers before you tour the model home gives you leverage, and why you should secure the structure first before chasing extras. Get the full breakdown in our latest video.
