So you’re thinking about buying a brand new home. Congratulations! This is a big step! Whether you are living in an apartment and are in need of more space, are ready to start a family, or are simply looking for a smaller home with less upkeep, you may be at a loss as to where to start.
For first-time home buyers, purchasing a new home can seem daunting. Even if you have a few houses under your belt, you may still have questions. There are several steps and processes involved that you may be unfamiliar with, or you may not be aware of all of the options available to you.
We at BLUEHAVEN Homes want to make sure the home buying process goes as smoothly as possible. Below you will find our easy five-step guide for buying a new BLUEHAVEN home.
1. Research Homes: Call your BLUEHAVEN representative, stop by one of our model homes or schedule an appointment.
2. Get Prequalified for Your Mortgage: Speak with the bank about a prequalification letter to see what you can afford. A pre-approval from your lender allows you to find a BLUEHAVEN home that fits into your budget. You may find that you can afford more than you originally thought.
3. Choose Your Floor Plan: Meet with your BLUEHAVEN representative again. Tour our model homes and review all the available floor plans. You can pick from one of our finished homes or choose from our many different floor plans, add additional upgrades and customize it to make it your own.
4. Coordinate Paperwork: Your BLUEHAVEN representative will prepare an agreement for you to sign and will submit it to the builder for approval. At this point, you will pay the earnest money to secure your agreement and let the builder know to commence with construction or take the home off the market. Earnest money is a promise of purchase. It will be held at the title company and will be credited to the fees at closing.
5. Finalize paperwork & Move In: Your lending institution will finalize all your paperwork, the title company will then check to make sure the property has a clear title and all surveys and inspections will be completed. The title company will schedule a time to sign all the closing documents. After your lending institution funds your closing, you will be able to move into your new Bluehaven home!
