Move In Ready New Construction Homes

April 16, 2020


New construction offers the latest in design, amenities and energy efficiency. Buyers who have the time to wait for construction to complete can pick all of the finishes and many of the details inside their new dream home. But what if you want the benefits of new construction yet don’t have the time to build from the ground up? Or if deciding on the finishes and details of your new home is too much to do? Move-in ready new construction homes can be just the answer you’re looking for!

What is Move-In Ready New Construction?

A move-in ready home is one that you can move into within the usual 45-60 day timeframe expected of resale homes. Move-in ready homes are sometimes referred to as spec or inventory homes. They are professionally designed to meet the needs of the average buyer and are typically built without a specific buyer in mind. In new communities, move-in ready homes are sometimes used as models to show prospective buyers what they can expect the finished product to be when building from the ground up.

New Construction Timeframe

When buying a new construction home from Main Street Homes the building timeframe is 190 days from start to finish. The majority of that time is spent actually constructing the homesite from making sure the build site is properly permitted to laying the foundation and completing the framing. Move-in ready homes allow you to circumvent these steps shortening the new construction timeframe drastically.

Benefits of Move-In Ready New Construction

  • Faster than building from the ground up
  • Homes are professionally designed with all the latest new construction has to offer
  • Stable price and interest rate
  • Model homes can come with upgraded packages

The greatest benefit to move-in ready homes is exactly that...they are move-in ready. No waiting for several months for construction to finish. You can literally tour the home, sign the purchase agreement and close once your financing is approved. Move-In ready homes can be a convenient option for those wanting to buy new but don’t have the time.

For those who desire to have a newly constructed home but are overwhelmed by the many finishing options; move-in ready poses a great alternative. These homes are professionally designed with the latest in home design, construction materials, amenities and energy efficiency. With a move-in ready home everything from the functional floor plans to the color schemes are on the cutting edge of modern living.

When a buyer decides to build from the ground up they often agree to a purchase price that does not include finishing choices picked later at the design center. These choices can increase the cost of purchase making it more expensive to build than originally thought. Buyer’s of new construction also must stay aware of the interest rates being offered. Throughout the months of construction your rate can increase from the original percentage quoted. These increases cost you more money over the life of your home loan. Move-in ready provides a more stable interest rate and with rates currently as low as they are you could be able to afford more house now than when rates were higher.

Towards the end of construction of a new neighborhood development; many of the model homes erected at the beginning can be put for sale. These models are move-in ready and oftentimes come with upgrades that buyers of homes built from the ground up paid a premium for. If a model home is available when you are performing your home search it could be a great opportunity to get a few extras for a fixed price.
