As the summer ends and fall approaches, many home buyers wonder whether it's the right time to purchase real estate. This can actually be a great time to buy since many home buyers wait for the spring. You can locate many opportunities on great houses. This is especially true with new construction, such as with Emmy Homes in Commack New York.
When you go to EmmyHomes.com, you will see a variety of new construction homes available. Even in this time of year, you may be able to purchase a newly built home that had not sold over the summer. Similarly, if you want to choose your home and have construction started, now is the time to speak to the construction company. If they can get a foundation in the ground before the frost sets in (more of an issue in the North) construction can continue through the winter. If you're looking for a new house to occupy at the close of this new school year, start the process now.
As you look for a new home, what questions should you ask?
First, is this a one project contractor or is this someone who builds complete developments? You want to work with a larger scale builder because they are more likely able to complete the task in the timetable that you've allotted. While we do not oppose small builders, if this is the only house that a contractor is working on, what will happen if he runs out of money? What if his electrician gets sick? What if his electrician leaves the job - you could be pushed back for weeks or months.
When you're dealing with a more substantial builder, they have multiple people in each trade. If they are shorthanded, they can promptly find replacement workers. In the end, you are much better off with an established reputable builder who will complete the task, as opposed to a small construction company who, unfortunately, can bring a great amount of uncertainty.
Second, look at homes that the builder has already completed. Do you like them? The artist drawing may be beautiful, but the house may be something else. A construction company who is consistently delivered high quality construction is worth their weight in gold. A shoddy construction company who under delivers is not worth the savings he can bring.
Lastly, consider the long-term price of the home. Not only does it carry a purchase price, but it needs to be maintained. A well built home may have lower maintenance costs. Also, is it rated as energy efficient? An "energy star" house meet certain government requirements on energy efficiency. Not only is this great for the environment, but can yield substantial savings on your energy costs. An energy Star rated house is also desirable on resale. You may plan on living here for 20 years, but unexpected issues happen and you want to choose a house that, if you need to, will be very marketable for resale. So yes, the summer of 2009 has elapsed. Nonetheless, there are great options to purchase new construction as we go into the autumn season. Websites, such as www.EmmyHomes.com will show you many choices of homes that are available in your market. - 20763
