My buyers are aware of what’s included in the builder’s base price, what’s an extra cost or upgrade and what’s in the fine print of the builder’s agreement. Purchasing new construction home from a builder can be intimidating and more complicated than buying a resale property because you are dealing with longer time frames, different financing, lengthy agreements, appraisals, permits and more. The Ottawa region is home to many reputable and award-winning builders. Not all builders are the same and each has their own way of doing business and own set of standard items that come with a house or condo. A standard item for one builder might be an upgrade for another. Also, Builders are not like regular sellers because they are not emotionally attached to the property and make decisions based on what is best for their bottom line. In general, builders staff their sales centres or model homes with their agents, who represent the builder’s interests. This person is the key communicator between you and the builder. As a buyer, you need to have your own real estate agent under contract who will represent you and ensure you make informed decisions. My buyers are aware of what’s included in the builder’s base price, what’s an extra cost or upgrade and what’s in the fine print of the builder’s agreement. A builder’s model home might not be a good representation of what comes standard with the home. Often the model home is a high-end version of the standard home to showcase the many beautiful upgrades the builder can offer.
