New Construction in Highlands Ranch - What's left?
If you have lived in Highlands Ranch for any amount of time, you know that the new construction that has been going on for years, is starting to near a close. And if you are looking to move to Highlands Ranch, if you don't know that yet, you will know. But there are still options available for those that want to purchase new construction in Highlands Ranch.
New Construction Homes in Highlands Ranch are now limited to a few areas and house do range a bit in price, although the majority of what is being built now lies more on the higher end of the spectrum. According to the Highlands Ranch Fact Sheet, build out is not going to be completely finished until 2015, but the areas that are left comprise a much smaller percentage than what was in recent past. In my mind-this is the home stretch. Land in Southridge is where you will still see the bulk of new homes going up, but there are still some areas near the border of Eastridge/Northridge as well. Not only are there options in the realm of single family homes, but condos and town homes are certainly available from new construction in Highlands Ranch as well.
Some people love buying new construction in Highlands Ranch. And others prefer resale real estate in Highlands Ranch. Either way, there is something for everyone.
If you are considering new construction, I would highly recommend you bring a REALTOR® with you on your first visit. Contrary to the belief of some, it is an excellent idea have a REALTOR in the sale of new construction. The new construction sales agent will tell you, that you do not need one - however - be forewarned - that sales agent works for the builder, not you! If you do want your REALTOR® to work for you, you absolutely need to have them register you on your first visit.
Some think that they may save money if they do not use a REALTOR® when buying new construction, I am going to tell you, that if you have a good real estate professional, this is absolutely not true. It is not uncommon at all, for a seasoned REALTOR® to be able to save the new home buyer an enormous amount of money - the key is knowing what to ask for and how to negotiate. I personally worked for one of the larger area homebuilders for several years and I absolutely know where and when its time to negotiate. I recently saved a new home buyer in Highlands Ranch several thousand dollars, where they were about to pay full asking price on the spec sheet. Don't make that mistake! I did write another article back in March of this year that you may also find useful on this topic: Buyer's Agent in Colorado: Do You Really Need One?
If you would like to consider some of the new construction homes in Highlands Ranch that are currently available, it would be my pleasure to assist you.
