Are you looking for new townhomes in the Atlanta Georgia area? This can be an alternative to single family residences which require more maintenance by the home owner; not only that, but prices are generally lower too. However, you should consider the extra expense of HOA (Home Owner’s Association) fees. These fees can vary depending upon the services provided by the HOA. As a general rule of thumb, the fees will be lower if more responsibilities are placed on the home owners for exterior maintenance of their respective units. One should determine if the HOA is responsible for ensuring that all units are bonded against termites. Since the new townhomes are attached, negligence from your neighbor could result in damage to your unit.

New townhomes will come with features like low-e windows. Among other things, higher standards are imposed by some county codes; this results in higher firewall ratings between the units; it seems logical that this would dampen sound better as well. If you are having the unit built, it would be advisable to have a pre-drywall inspection by your own independent home inspector; this is the perfect time to examine the structure before it is covered up with sheetrock. Any imperfections, code violations or poor workmanship will be observed by a trained eye. Sadly, the new construction industry leaves much to be desire because of its oversight by their contractors. Inspecting new townhomes is a way to hold the builder accountable. If you are beyond that point, then have a final home inspection at the very minimum. It isn’t worth trying to save a few hundred dollars by neglecting this invaluable service.

As the home buyer's agent, I helped a couple, who was a first time home buyer, to purchase a nice new house in Buford GA. These new houses in that neighborhood have been priced as high as the $350’s. However, the turmoil in the housing market has caused much disruption for home builders; and consequently, forced liquidation prices to commence. While the home was still owned by the builder, the bank actually handled the negotiations. The price on this particular new home in Buford Georgia was slashed to around $280,000 with roughly $16,700 in contributions toward closing fees; not only did this couple receive the lower price and incentives, but they received an extra buyer bonus worth approximately $2,800 from us -- which is a home buyer rebate. It turned out to be a good overall deal.

A couple of years, I assisted a new home buyer with a new purchase in Lawrenceville, Ga; the home was priced around $439,000. Home builders weren’t negotiating all that much back then; although, we were still able to get a good contribution toward the buyer's closing costs. This particular purchaser had chosen his own lender before I had come in contact with him. As the transaction progressed, it became apparent that this lender had not properly explained the loan guidelines to the new home buyer in advance. Whether intentional or not, this lender made the buyer feel misled -- and it became a fiasco at closing. That is the worst time for all involved to deal with these issues. When considering new houses and new town homes in Lawrenceville Georgia, it’s best to solidify your financing up front so that unexpected surprises can be minimized -- if not eliminated. Work with a lender or mortgage company that you can trust. Oftentimes, your buyer’s agent can point you in the right direction.
