4 Options You Can Negotiate When Buying New Huntsville Real Estate
Are you looking to buy new construction?� Many people are, but just as many aren't aware that their newly built�Huntsville real estate comes with options and add-ons.� In addition, they see a handsome price on new construction and think they've stepped into an unbelievable deal, not understanding that the price they're looking at is for "bare bones."�� Here are just a few of the options and upgrades you might want to have your real estate agent talk about with your chosen builder:�
- Flooring - The "standard" for flooring is cheap carpet and thin padding.� If you're going for hardwood floors, you also may not get what you envision.� An important thing to keep in mind is that most builders make their money on the upgrades and options.� While they may offer upgrades for high quality flooring, it may actually be cheaper for you to buy it yourself and not through the builder.� Do your research and either have your real estate agent try to negotiate down to a price closer to what it would cost you, or have the builder use the cheapest material possible and ask them not to glue or tack it down.
- Plumbing and fixtures - Whether you want improvements or additional plumbing and fixtures (such as for a wet bar or a different location for the washer and dryer), these are easier to do before the [city] real estate is finished.
- Appliances - Check to see what brand and model the builder expects to use for your appliances.� Most times, your real estate agent can at least negotiate a better model, if not your preferred brand.
- Doors - Doors, especially interior doors, are usually thin, non-insulated and easily damaged.� Although this may be fine in some areas, other areas may need better quality doors.� This is a definite place for your real estate agent and builder to negotiate.�
