How to Buy a New Construction Home in 10 Steps

1. Start with Research on the True Homes Website



The first step in buying a new construction home is research. Start by visiting the True Homes website to explore available communities and home styles. Each community is unique, offering various amenities such as golf course views, lakefront lots, or access to top-rated schools. During this stage, familiarize yourself with True Homes' floorplans, which range from cozy starter homes to expansive estates. If you're looking for something immediate, check out the quick move-in homes available. This research will help you start envisioning your future home and narrow down your options based on your needs and lifestyle.

2. Select Your Ideal Community and Schedule an Appointment with Our Internet Sales Team

Once you’ve explored the different communities, it’s time to select your ideal location. Consider factors such as proximity to work, school districts, amenities, and the type of environment you want to live in—whether it’s a peaceful lakeside retreat or a vibrant, family-friendly neighborhood. After choosing a community, schedule an appointment with our Internet Sales Team. They will help answer your initial questions and set up an appointment with a local True Advisor to start your personalized home-buying experience.

4. Review Your Options

(Pick Your Lot, Floorplan, Structural Features)

Now that you know what True Homes offers, it’s time to make some exciting decisions. First, pick your lot. Do you want to be near the community amenities, have a wooded backyard, or have a lot that offers more privacy? Next, choose the perfect floorplan that suits your needs. Whether you need extra bedrooms for a growing family, a spacious home office, or bonus spaces for hobbies, this is your chance to design a home that matches your lifestyle. Don’t forget to review available structural features like extended garages, screened-in porches, and additional storage spaces to personalize your home further.

5. Sign Your Purchase Agreement



Once you’ve chosen your lot, floorplan, and structural features, it’s time to make everything official by signing the Purchase Agreement. This important document locks in the details of your new home, including the purchase price, selected features, and the estimated construction timeline. Your True Advisor will go through every part of the agreement with you, answering any questions and ensuring you fully understand the terms. Once you sign, your home-buying journey is truly underway!

6. Apply for Financing with a Preferred Lender

With the Purchase Agreement signed, the next step is securing financing. True Homes partners with a network of preferred lenders specializing in new construction loans. These lenders are familiar with the unique timelines and requirements of building a new home, so the process is streamlined for you. You’ll work with them to get pre-approved and lock in your mortgage terms. Having financing in place early ensures a smooth experience to closing day.

7. Select and Customize Your Home at Our Design Studio



One of the most exciting parts of buying a new construction home with True Homes is the ability to fully customize your living space. At the True Homes Design Studio, you’ll work with a professional designer to select your home’s finishes, from flooring and cabinetry to countertops and light fixtures. Do you want modern, sleek finishes or a more traditional aesthetic? Whether you’re envisioning hardwood floors, gourmet kitchens, or spa-like bathrooms, this is your chance to personalize your home down to the smallest detail.

8. Monitor the Construction Process



After finalizing your selections, True Homes will begin constructing your new home. Throughout the process, you’ll receive regular updates on the progress of your home. You’ll also have scheduled visits to the site, allowing you to see the construction take shape. These updates will keep you informed every step of the way, ensuring your home is built to your specifications. At this stage, your dream home will start to come to life!

9. Attend Pre-Closing Inspections

Before closing your new home, you’ll participate in a pre-closing inspection. This walkthrough is an important step in ensuring your home has been built to the highest standards and that all your selected features are in place. You’ll walk through your home with your True Advisor to check that everything is as it should be. Any final adjustments will be noted and corrected before closing, ensuring your home is perfect and ready for move-in.

10. Closing Day and Move-In!



The big day has finally arrived—closing day! This is when you’ll finalize your mortgage, sign the necessary paperwork, and receive the keys to your brand-new True Home. Congratulations, you’re now officially a homeowner! After closing, you can start moving in and enjoying your beautifully designed and personalized space. Whether hosting a housewarming party or simply relaxing in your new space, this is the moment where all your dreams come together.
