When it comes to buying a home, many clients ask: “Should I go with resale or new construction?” While both have their perks, new construction offers unique advantages—especially for first-time buyers, growing families, and anyone looking for a fresh start.
As a REALTOR® specializing in new builds across Central Texas, I’ve seen firsthand how builder partnerships and strategic timing can unlock incredible opportunities for my clients. Here’s why new construction might be the right move for you:
From the roof to the appliances, you’re the first to live in the home. That means fewer repairs, modern finishes, and warranties that give you peace of mind.
Many builders offer closing cost assistance, interest rate buydowns, and upgrade packages especially when you work with a trusted agent who knows how to negotiate on your behalf.
Depending on the stage of construction, you may be able to choose your flooring, countertops, or even layout options without the stress of a full renovation.
New communities often include parks, trails, schools, and retail nearby. I help clients find neighborhoods that match their lifestyle and long-term goals.
Buying new construction can feel overwhelming but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I walk with you through every phase: from builder selection and contract review to inspections and closing day.
I’ve created a powerful search tool that gives you access to the largest collection of new construction homes in Central Texas including quick move-ins and upcoming releases.
Save your favorites, reach out for private tours, and let’s find the home that fits your vision and your budget.
