How we helped Delphine buy the home she wanted when she was ready to give up on it

(Working with Valorie was really great. She went way beyond what she needed to do in order to get this property for me. She never gave up even when I had. She pushed through and ended up getting me the house I wanted for a great price. Valorie is very determined and she saved me a lot of headaches. I’d highly recommend her. )

New Construction in Charlottesville and Richmond

Here are some numbers regarding new construction:

• Charlottesville currently has 369 new construction properties on the market
• Richmond currently has 858 new construction properties on the market
• Charlottesville has had 153 new construction sales
• Richmond has had 455 new construction sales

As you can see, there is definitely a demand for new construction in our market. More recently, Stanley Martin Homes bought out Piedmont Housing in Charlottesville and have already begun building a new development. Other great new construction companies are Southern Development, Liberty Homes and Ryan Homes.

Once you find a piece a property and decide that you want to build a home, there many banks that can help you obtain financing. For example, Stellar One is among many brokers that process new construction loans.

From that point forward, the bank will price the loan amount based on after-approved price of the property. This means that the bank will determine the loan amount by appraising the property and establishing its value using today’s market prices, upon completion.

Keep in mind that the completion date can range from three months to a year – this all depends on how big your home will be and what you will have done to it! This process showcases how great new construction is – you are able to pick the interior options you want, the size of land you want, and you are also able to pick your surroundings.

Should You Trust Zillow or Trulia?

Have you ever heard of a “Zestimate?” If you’re not, this is Zillow’s method of appraising homes. This makes real estate agents cringe! To put it into perspective, have you ever gone on to WebMD and entered in the symptoms you were experiencing? WebMD will you give you list of options, but you aren’t going to trust them over your doctor.

This is the same as trusting Zillow or Trulia. Trust an agent that studies housing inventory every single day – we know what we’re talking about! If you have any questions about the value of your home, please don’t hesitate to call or send me an email.

Thanks and have a great day!
