New Construction.
Homes the MLS records as newly built, which it keeps as its own flag — so this is new construction proper, not a recently renovated house described that way in the remarks.

The same search as the figure above, so what you count is what you see.
Buying new hasits own rules.
The agent in the model home works for the builder, and their job is to protect the builder's price and contract. Bring your own agent to your first visit. Many builders honor buyer representation only if your agent registers you on day one.
Budget past the base price. Lot premiums, structural options and design-center selections set what you pay, and you have more room to negotiate them before you sign.
Hire your own inspector anyway, once before drywall and once before closing. The builder's warranty covers the defects you can document.
Read how the contract handles delays. Builders miss dates, and the contract decides who pays when they do, including the cost of a rate lock that runs out while you wait.
Know what youare looking at.
Shoreline rights, flood zones, course covenants and survey lines are where these transactions turn. Ask before you offer.
