New Construction
New builds near base, negotiated properly
New construction is the most popular path for military buyers here — and the easiest place to leave money on the table. Bring us before you walk into the model home.
Why Military Buyers Choose It
Warranty, incentives, and a known move-in date
A brand-new home means no deferred maintenance in the first three years, a builder warranty that outlasts your assignment, and — critically — a completion date you can plan a PCS around. Add builder-funded rate buydowns and you often land a lower payment than on a comparable resale.

Plain Language
Incentives, buydowns & MPRs
Builder incentives
Builders rarely cut the sticker price — it affects their comps. Instead they give: closing cost credits, design-center allowances, appliance packages, and fence or blind allowances. The catch is most incentives require using the builder's preferred lender, and they're almost always negotiable if you have representation from your very first visit.
Rate buydowns
A buydown lowers your interest rate — either for the first year or two (temporary, like a 2-1) or permanently for the life of the loan. Builders fund these out of the same incentive pool. Whether a permanent buydown beats cash toward closing depends on how long you'll actually hold the home, which for a military buyer is a real question with a real answer.
MPRs on a new build
VA Minimum Property Requirements are usually a non-issue on new construction, but the appraisal still has to come in and the builder still has to deliver a finished, safe, habitable home. We watch for the small things that hold up VA closings on new builds: incomplete grading, missing handrails, and uninstalled HVAC or water heaters at final walkthrough.
Timing a build against orders
Ground-up builds in this market typically run 5–9 months. Quick-move-in inventory homes run 30–60 days. If your report date is inside 90 days, we're steering you toward inventory homes and holding the builder to a written completion date with a delay remedy.
