I’ve just added a new home search tool on AtHomeinScottsdale.com. You’ll be able to search for new homes and specs (where the builder picks designs the house, and has the home built or almost completed) for Scottsdale, Phoenix, and all the surrounding cities.
Currently there are over 100 properties listing for Scottsdale. Not many, but for a city that’s short of open land and mostly built out, it was more than I was expecting. Prices range from $238,000 to almost $3,000,000.
An important note:
Please take your Realtor with you on your first visit to any new home development. If you don’t, he/she will not be able to represent you. The builder’s representative will have that responsibility.
I was in a new home community with clients last week. The listing agent for the builder told us that only 7% of the buyers in that community had personal buyer representation. He told my clients, who are relocating from another state, that they were lucky to have me.
And you know, he was right. I was able to ask important questions for them, reminding them of some previous conversations we’d had about their priorities. I also researched the builder and shared some critical financial info that the buyers were grateful to have upfront, before making an offer. I know they feel a lot more educated about the local area and that I’m looking out for their best interests.
Building a new home is exciting, and the builders around town are active. Buyers were in and out of every sales office that we visited. It’s easy to get caught up in the glitz of a new home, so make sure you have someone there looking out for you!
