Buying a New Home

If you have been thinking about buying new construction, there are several things to consider. Lakewood Ranch has numerous neighborhoods that are being constructed. Some of those neighborhoods have a golf course and large fitness facilities, while others have clubhouses and pools. Depending on how much you want to spend per month as part of your homeowner’s association dues and whether or not you will use the facilities might be something to think about.

Those model homes are beautiful and the salesperson for the builder is very nice and seems easy to work with, but just remember, they work for the builder. Having a second set of eyes and someone to assist with the upgrades and selections may not be a bad idea. Realtors bring 63% of the buyers to new homes, according to the National Association of Realtors.
