New Homes In Minooka
NOTE: As recently as 2006, there were about a dozen regional or national builders that were building new homes in Minooka. As of the end of 2009, there is only one builder, Centex with Summerfield of Minooka, that is offering new construction in the MLS.
The Lure of New Construction
New home builders, including the national/regional builders building new homes in Minooka, make it very easy for Mr. & Mrs. HomeShopper to purchase a new home. They provide a number of enticements that make even the most cynical of consumers susceptible to purchasing on the spot:
- New Model Homes: decked out with complete upgrade packages and custom features not always available to the public.
- Knowledgeable Sales Staff: trained specifically to sell certain communities/model types and taught to overcome buyer's objections.
- Beautiful Promotional Materials: that highlight all the qualities of the builder, community, and product.
- Financial Incentives/Low Down Payments: thousands of dollars off of upgrades and the ability to hold your dream home with a personal check for as low as $1000.
- On Site Lenders: Preferred lenders who can qualify you on site and who offer incentives of their own.
So why bring a Realtor® into this idyllic setup?
5 Reasons To Use A Realtor® When Buying New Construction
- Your Realtor® Represents You: as nice as the salepeople are at the builder's showroom, remember they work for the builder and not you. Your Realtor® can call your attention to potentially negative features in a community that the builder's rep won't
- Your Realtor® Can Show You More Than That Community: choice is great; your Realtor® can provide you with insight and analysis about all the homes in the area you are looking at, not just that new home community.
- Your Realtor® Can Explain The Builder's Contract: Although Realtors® are not attorneys they can (and will) walk you through the builder's contract from a neutral perspective. And most Realtors® will recommend that you use a reputable attorney to close your purchase.
- Your Realtor Should Counsel Shopping Mortgages: Most Realtors® have access to a pool of lenders so you can shop for a mortgage that is best for you and not just the builder.
- Your Realtor Works For You AT NO COST TO YOU: Whether you purchase a new home in Minooka (or anywhere else), your purchase price is the same if you use a Realtor or if you don't. So why wouldn't you work with a Realtor®?
