A major concept of quick move-in homes are when home builders such as Lennar or Taylor Morrison buy up a large amount of property and just start building homes. They usually will build a few models in the neighborhood, but the rest of the homes are based on pre-existing plans that are a part of their repertoire.
Quite often, these homes are just what the doctor ordered. They’re clean and well built and no one else has lived in them; sometimes there’s nothing better than that. True, you don’t have the opportunity to sculpt the home that maybe you wanted, but buying a ready made home ready for you to move in removes a lot of the stress of trying to figure out some of the small details that others who build homes have to go through.
In many areas of the country, home builders have taken a look at the economy and decided that the market is ready for new homes as opposed to buyers picking up pre-existing homes. Indeed, that seems to be the way sales are going, although in some communities, such as many in Florida, buyers are able to pick up some homes built before the bubble at great prices that were quick move-in homes. The same thing goes for many homes that were never purchased, yet were brand new, in Las Vegas.
In other places, though, the home bubble never hit, and home builders are ready to take their shot. One builder, Taylor Morrison, has been buying up property in Texas and will be building homes without worrying about having buyers before they build them. They will be starting to build these homes in the spring of this year, mainly in the central Texas area, with the expectation that they will be able to sell these homes, even as they’ve been thinking about leaving the American market.
If there’s one thing you probably won’t be able to do, it’s negotiate on price. The prices will be what they are, and the homes will be beautiful, and sometimes you just have to pay for quality and beauty and hope that it remains as great as it looks.
