Essential Questions & Buyer Tips
Buying new construction in a master-planned community is exciting, but it pays to ask the right questions. As both your Realtor and mortgage expert, I'll guide you through every decision to ensure you make the smartest choice for your situation.
Critical Questions to Ask
Which Builder & Floorplan?
Compare Pulte's and Lennar's offerings carefully. Consider your lifestyle needs – do you need a home office, extra bedrooms for guests, or a flex space? Which builder's design philosophy matches your preferences and budget?
Timeline & Availability
Ask about construction timelines for build-your-own homes versus quick move-in inventory. Which phase are lots in? Are preferred locations still available? Understanding the schedule helps you plan your move.
Incentives & Specials
Builders frequently offer incentives – closing cost assistance, interest rate buydowns, or upgrade credits. Ask about current promotions and how they can reduce your out-of-pocket costs or monthly payments.
HOA & CDD Details
Understand monthly fees, what they cover, and any rules that affect you. CDD fees fund infrastructure and may be structured as additional property tax. Get clarity on total monthly costs beyond your mortgage.
Smart Buyer Considerations
Lot Selection Matters
Not all lots are created equal. Consider lot orientation for sun exposure, proximity to amenities, views, and future development. Corner lots offer more space but more frontage to maintain. Ask about lot premiums and what makes specific locations more desirable.
Understand Phases
Master-planned communities develop in phases. Ask what's planned for adjacent areas – will it be more homes, amenities, or preserved space? This affects your future views and neighborhood feel.
Utility & Infrastructure
  • Public water and sewer or septic/well?
  • What utility providers serve the area?
  • Are impact fees included in pricing?
  • Internet and cable options available?
Timing Your Purchase
  • Pre-construction: maximum customization
  • Under construction: see progress
  • Quick move-in: immediate availability
  • Model homes: tour in person
