Lethbridge New Home Sales
There are many different new home builders in Lethbridge (Avonlea, Daytona, Galco, Greer, Cedar Ridge, Chinook Homes, Legends Homes, Sherlock, Limited Edition, Riverpark, Milestone, Bezooyen Contracting Ltd, to name a few). Some of these homes are posted on the MLS. If you are interested in a new home, you can still buy through a Realtor. Most builders are happy to work with Realtors, and the price you pay will be the same as if you went directly to a builder (a commission is paid to the Realtor instead of the in-house sales). With the help of a Realtor, you will have an additional voice on your side, to help you with the contract, and keep you informed during the purchase process.
There are many advantages to buying a new home:
Brand new, never been lived in before
Everything works, (or should be working)
Most new homes will have a 5 year, or a 10 year warranty attached to them.
You can live in the trendy new area of town
Some disadvantages to buying a new home
The basement is not likely to be finished, (you may consider this an advantage if you want to do the basement yourself).
Landscaping likely not done
Fencing likely not done
If you are in a new area, you could be living in a construction zone for the next few years, (lots of bins, trucks, and dust blowing around).
There is usually less room for negotiaion in a list price and a sale price when you are buying from a builder. Even if you are not interested in a new home, you may want to take a look at a few, as it is a good way to try and establish value and see what prices things are selling for.
