New & Pre-Construction FAQs
What is the difference between pre-construction and new construction?
Pre-construction is purchased before or during construction, while new construction is already completed or nearly complete.
Do I need a real estate agent when buying directly from a developer?
Yes. The developer has their own sales team representing their interests. Having your own agent ensures someone is looking out for you.
Are prices negotiable with a developer?
Sometimes. If pricing isn’t flexible, developers may offer incentives such as closing cost credits, upgrades, or deposit incentives.
How much is the initial deposit?
Deposit schedules vary by developer but are often spread over several construction milestones and typically total 20-50% before closing.
Can I finance a pre-construction purchase?
Yes. Most buyers obtain financing at completion, although some developers require mortgage pre-approval during the contract process.
How long does construction usually take?
Most projects take anywhere from 18 to 48 months, depending on the size and complexity of the development.
Can the completion date change?
Yes. Construction delays due to weather, permitting, labor shortages, or supply chain issues are common.
What happens if property values change before closing?
Your contract price remains the same regardless of market fluctuations, whether values rise or fall.
Can I sell my contract before closing?
Some developments allow contract assignments, while others prohibit them or charge an assignment fee.
What upgrades or finishes can I choose?
Depending on the construction stage, buyers may have options for flooring, cabinetry, countertops, appliances, and other finishes.
Are HOA fees finalized before closing?
Initial estimates are provided, but association fees may change once the community is operating.
What warranties come with a new home or condominium?
Most developers provide warranties covering workmanship, systems, and structural components for specified periods.
Will I receive a home inspection?
Yes. Buyers should always conduct an independent inspection before closing, even on brand-new homes.
What additional closing costs should I expect?
Closing costs may include title insurance, lender fees, recording fees, prepaid taxes, HOA contributions, and developer fees.
Can I use any lender I choose?
Usually yes, although some developers offer incentives if you use their preferred lender.
What if I decide I no longer want the property?
Pre-construction contracts are generally binding, and canceling may result in losing part or all of your deposit.
Can foreign buyers purchase pre-construction?
Yes. Many developers welcome international buyers, although financing options may differ.
When do I officially become the owner?
Ownership transfers at closing when all required documents are signed and funds are received.
Should I buy early in the project or wait?
Early buyers often enjoy the best pricing and selection, while later buyers have greater certainty about the finished product.
What are the biggest advantages of buying pre-construction?
Potential appreciation during construction, brand-new finishes and appliances, modern building standards, lower maintenance costs, warranty protection, and the opportunity to personalize certain features.
