Out With A Bang!

What a whirlwind week for The "4forU" Team! Some markets may be stalling, but there is plenty of activity in and around Columbus.

I learned some good lessons this week in the negotiation of new construction. After searching the re-sale market in Columbus suburbs, my young buyers decided to move forward with the purchase of an M/I inventory home. I think that it's important for anyone who is buying a new build in a developing community to understand all the pros and cons - and especially the importance of having a long-term commitment to that new home & community.

There are some great opportunities with builders right now, but it is more important than ever to have buyer respresentation. In an effort to secure buyers, there are special rate programs to investigate and plenty of negotiation room on base prices. Buyers need to be careful not to overspend on upgrades that serve as a smokescreen to the true price of the home.

And now a plug for me & my team... we are ALL certified new construction specialists. Don't think you are going to save money going it alone. Reputable builders do not offer discounts if you are not represented by a buyer's agent!
