Tips for Buying New Construction in Hidalgo County
Bring your own agent. The builder's sales rep works for the builder. I'll negotiate price, upgrades and closing costs for you, and in many new-build sales the builder pays the buyer's agent, so ask about it up front. Many builders require your agent to be with you or registered on your first visit, so bring me along from the start.
Get an independent inspection. Even brand-new homes have issues. A pre-drywall inspection and a final inspection before closing catch problems while the builder can still fix them.
Get the warranty in writing. Coverage varies by builder: what's covered, for how long, and how to file a claim.
Budget for the full property tax bill. In Texas, a new home's first tax bill may be based only on the lot if the house wasn't finished on January 1. The next bill reflects the full value, so plan your escrow for it.
Compare builder incentives. Builders often offer closing-cost help or rate buydowns if you use their preferred lender. Compare that offer against an outside quote before you commit.
Ask about HOA dues and district fees. Some newer subdivisions have HOA dues or special district assessments that add to your monthly cost.
