Gingerbread House Day: New Construction Do’s and Don’ts

If you’ve ever built a gingerbread house, you know there are clear do’s and don’ts...do have a glue gun on hand, don’t add decorations until the icing is 100% dry, do buy extra candy, don’t build right after you’ve cleaned your floors, etc.⁣

⁣
There are also clear do’s and don’ts when building a REAL house to call home sweet home. If you’re thinking about new construction in 2022, here are a few dos and don’ts I share with buyers.⁣
⁣
Do start with a price that is under budget.⁣
Do choose your lot first; then select your floor plan.⁣
Do spend time interviewing builders, seeing their work, and talking to previous clients.⁣
Don’t expect the process to be flawless. There will be hiccups and missteps along the way.⁣
Don’t underestimate the amount of time the building process will take.⁣
Don’t go it alone — work with an agent who specializes in new home construction. ⁣
