What Buyers are Looking For Today

April 5th, 2024 11:34 AM by Linda Holley

Good morning and thank you for reading my blog. I have a buyer for a 3- or 4-bedroom home not older than seven years in a gated community, with private pool, room for a pool, or community pool for less than $450,000. He preferred homes near golf courses, in Manatee County, Florida or north. We started looking at resale homes in gated communities in Bradenton--and there were many from which to choose--but he eventually settled on new construction in Parrish. Why not get a new roof, new appliances, granite counter tops, new flooring, all with  a builder's warranty for the same price?

I took him to at least 10 new home communities in Manatee County. Since he is a cash buyer, the developer made him a sweet deal. He got everything he was looking for--a 3-bedroom, 2-bath with a den in Parrish. With all of the sales and design concessions (and we DID negotiate) plus a private, premium lot, his new home is now under construction. He's getting all of this for less than $425,000. Had he wanted to finance his home, there are also some good deals on interest rates if using the developer's lender. 

We've already been through the pre-drywall inspection (my gift to this buyer), and we'll get another inspection before the builder's walkthrough in a couple of months. He's very excited and the builder's representative provides the buyer and me photos through the construction process. I'm impressed with the high-quality customer service we are receiving from this rep and the construction manager, too. The cabinets in this new home will be installed next week! 

I am a real estate expert for new home communities and will negotiate good deals for buyers--both cash and financed. Call me if you're interested in new construction in Sarasota and Manatee Counties, Florida. Linda Holley 941-914-4914  LindaHRealtor@Gmail.com  www.LindaHRealtor.com
