Looking for a house can be…intimidating! There are so many steps in the process it can be hard to know where to begin.

With the feverish pace at which mortgage rates and home prices are rising, you may feel a sense of urgency to find a new house now, rather than wait until you’ve saved up a large down payment. Or maybe you own property somewhere else, so your down payment is actually tied up as equity until you sell an existing home.

So you’re moving to Texas. Great choice!

As of 2021, millennials made up about 37% of all homebuyers in the U.S., making them the largest percentage of buyers in the nation. On top of that, this younger generation is making a large impact on the homebuying market in terms of how they go about the process.

You hear it all the time when buying a house: location, location, location. But that doesn’t just apply to the Texas city or suburb you’re searching in. Picking a great lot within your new home community is as important as choosing the right builder and floor plan.

So, you’re thinking of buying a new home. Smart move. Believe the hype when folks tell you there’s no better time. Mortgage interest rates are at historic lows, though no one knows for exactly how long. Now’s your best opportunity to take action. Whether buying your first house or fifth, you need to be on your toes. This market waits for no one and that goes double for new construction homes. 

When you’re planning to move, you have two primary options: buying an existing house or building a new construction home. Many people shy away from new builds because of the perceived difficulties involved. However, there are many benefits of buying a new construction home.

You’ve bought a new construction home in a master-planned community... congratulations! Now, all you can think about is getting the keys to your new place. But there will be a lot to do before you can spend that first night in your new home. You have an entire household to pack up and move! Take advantage of all that excited energy and start planning for your move.

You’ve decided to make a move to a new home in a master-planned community but now there are so many decisions to make when building a house! What style home will it be? Will your home have one story or two?

Also known as mixed-use developments, live-work-play communities are built to accommodate all the needs of their residents. Historically, these typically existed only in cities where people in multifamily units would meet all their needs within walking distance.
