5 Advantages of Buying Early in a New Construction Community

Blog primary image

There are many advantages of buying early in a new construction community including potentially lower cost and better selections of homesites and floorplans. Once you’ve decided to buy a new construction home and have a good idea of the area where you want to live, you can increase your chances of securing your dream home by getting into a new construction community as early as possible.

Take Advantage of Introductory Pricing

Most builders offer lower pricing for a limited number of early buyers in a new community. They often start with a VIP list of homebuyers who signed up to get early notifications when homesites and floorplans become available in a new community. It’s an incentive to get the ball rolling and increase interest in the new community.

Best Way to Secure Your Favorite Homesite

Being able to select your favorite homesite is one of the best advantages of buying early in a new construction community. Whether you prefer living on a cul-de-sac, close to community amenities or on a wooded homesite, being able to reserve your favorite homesite is a big plus when buying a new home.


Not all floorplans will fit on every homesite, so picking a floorplan and homesite that go together is easier to do in the early stages of development as there is more selection. The largest floorplans may be limited to a few homesites that are big enough to accommodate them. Structural options may require a larger homesite as well, which limits the availability of adding those options if your choice of homesites is limited later in the community development.

More Floorplan & Exterior Color Choices

Builders manage the floorplan builds according to zoning, architectural guidelines and HOA rules for each community. To ensure there is plenty of variety in the overall look of the community, there may be a limited number of each floorplan that can be built in the community and exterior colors will be mixed as much as possible. This prevents identical-looking homes from being built close together in the community. Buying early gives you a better chance of getting the floorplan and exterior color scheme you want for your new home.

Give Yourself the Benefit of Time

Another one of the advantages of buying early in a new construction community is knowing where and when you’ll be moving, without the pressure of planning an immediate move from your current home, especially if you are moving to another state. Having plenty of time to organize, pack and prepare for your move while your new home is being built will minimize stress and allow you to enjoy the experience. Especially when you set up and begin living in your new dream home!
