Builders can offer creative incentives to help buyers without ever dropping the price outright. This can include interest rate buy-downs and help with closing costs. These types of perks could make a meaningful difference without impacting your own loan-to-value ratio for any future resale value.
Explore Possible Interest Rate Buy-Downs
An interest rate buy-down could temporarily or even permanently reduce your mortgage rate, lowering potential monthly payments and also increasing affordability. Our team at J.A. Myers can work with you to find the financial solution that will best meet your budget and needs.
Look at Down Payment Assistance Programs
A lot of home builders do not realize that they qualify for assistance with their down payments through state, local, or federal programs. Look into these types of payment assistance programs. Our team can point you in the right direction, especially if you’re interested in our homes and home communities!
Consider Alternative Mortgage Choices
Make sure you consider every option you have. One mortgage solution could make a much bigger difference in affordability when it comes to buying a new home. We can help you lock in a long-term rate to simplify the guessing game that many are seeing these days with interest rates.
Ask for Upgrades Instead of Discounts
With new construction, you will get the flexibility to personalize your house with the features you enjoy – without having to stretch out your budget too much.
Revisit Each of Your Priorities
Ask yourself: What will truly make your home a dream home? Could it be smaller floor plans or fewer premium finishes that capture what you love, just at a more manageable price? Being flexible about your needs compared to your wants could make a serious difference in your upfront costs and monthly payments as well.
