In fact, homes in certain regions start from as low as the $200s. Factor in current mortgage rates and closing cost assistance, and your buyers may be able to afford homes that were once out of reach!<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The housing market is in a bit of a frenzy, making resale homes hard to come by in many areas. Not only is a brand-new home a great alternative to a stressful bidding war, it may present benefits your clients hadn\u2019t previously considered (e.g., ability to choose their homesites and design options).<br> <br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many clients are spending all their time in a home that no longer suits their needs. The pandemic has been an eye opener for a number of renters and homeowners who suddenly realized that they need more space to work and unwind. A new home allows buyers to prioritize features such as home offices, tech centers, lofts, finished basements and covered patios.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For clients with COVID-19 concerns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of our sales centers across the country are open for drop-ins. However, we recommend checking the community page to determine whether you need to schedule an advance appointment.
