Building a New Home in Cary - Lots, Land, New Construction

Lots & Land For Sale in Cary, NC

There are many people who dream of finding a special piece of property to build their dream home. While it can be very rewarding to create something from the ground up, it can also be challenging. However, if you understand the process and are ready to tackle the adventure of building your dream home in Cary, NC - below are some available pieces of property that may interest you.

Some things to consider when Buying Land to Build a Custom Home
  • Hire an Agent experienced in land transactions who will guide you through all of the potential pitfalls and help you accurately assess the value of the property. An experienced agent will know what tests should be performed on the property for percolation and drainage. A good agent will be able to advise you on the sales comparables of homes in the immediate area, so you don't "overbuild". 
  • Hire a contractor and an Architect before you buy the property. Have them give their expert opinion on build-ability and cost before you invest.
  • Shop around for loans and lenders. Not all lenders are experienced in land loans. Be prepared to make a substantially larger down payment than you may have to on a already built home.

Buyer Representation

Keep in mind that buyer representation doesn't cost you a thing - sellers and builders pay the broker fees. Using a buyer agent is especially important with new construction. The builder is looking out for their bottom line, not yours. I know what's negotiable and can get you a great deal. Let's Meet!
