Why Build Now

Now is the time for you to build that new home. I know everyone is saying that you should wait until the economy is stronger, but I say 'Why?'. Let's think about it on a rational basis. First you can buy a lot or a piece of land real inexpensive right now. People who have bought up a lot of real estate do not want to pay taxes or they have loans out on it. You have land and lots in foreclosure, some owners just want to rid themselves of the land. Next you have the suppliers who have inventory that they need to sale. This means that you will be able to get upgrades at reasonable prices. Think about it, you can upgrade appliances, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, carpet, tile, wood, cabinets, and whatever for little or nothing. Builders are trying to keep their subcontractors busy and the subcontractors are working for less money. Builders are trying to stay in business and are using the 'Real Sharp' pencil for pricing.

We all want to live in the better communities with the great amenities. We want to send our kids to the better schools with the higher academic scores, that is just being a parent. Now is your chance. Those communities now are within your price range. Builders are not charging those premiums for location. They are just trying to move homes. A lot of us have been sitting on the sideline because some one told us to wait until the economy and market comes back, and I am saying that is late. Think about it, if you wait you will pay the increased prices and when the market comes back every one is going to try to make up for their lost time and revenue. So all of the vendors and suppliers are going to raise prices, the subcontractors are going to charge more, the land owners are going to get more for their land and lots and the builder will charge a higher price for his services. If you have been waiting now is the time.

Some people will say buy a resale or foreclosure, but I say build. When you build you get the latest technology and advances incorporated into your home. Your home will be built to the latest codes and you will get the manufacturer and builders warranty on your home. For most of us a home is the largest investment that we make, so wouldn't it be nice to know that you saw it come togethger? When you build from dirt you also get to put your personnality into the home. If you buy an existing home it has someone elyses personnality and you have to live with it or pay to change it. Believe me it is a lot easier to move into a home designed and decorated for you. If you are sitting back waiting ti buy a home now is the time to get out of the chair and start the process. You will thank me later, I promise.

It is the best time to build. Contractors will sharpen the pencil, interest rates are low and time is on your side. It can be done on schedule.
