Learn More About the Builders

 
When you buy new construction homes for sale in Wesley Chapel at Epperson, you will have a number of builders to choose from. Builders include D.R. Horton, Pulte Homes, Maronda Homes, and Biscayne Homes. The builders feature different price ranges, home styles, and amenities, so it’s a good idea to do a little investigating before you settle on the builder for you. Pulte Homes, for example, builds homes for sale in Wesley Chapel starting at $324,990 and offers 16 different designs that have from two to six bedrooms and two to five-and-a-half bathrooms. Biscayne Homes offers four different styles of lagoon-front townhomes starting at 1,754 square feet. Take a look at each builder’s website and work with your Wesley Chapel real estate agent to decide which builder and style of home are right for you.

Know Where You Want to Be

 
Though there is no bad place to buy homes for sale in Wesley Chapel, when you choose to purchase in the Epperson community, there are different choices that could affect how happy you are in your new home. Talk with your Wesley Chapel real estate agent about the various areas of Epperson. Options include gated neighborhoods, homes on Epperson Lagoon, or homes with waterfront access to King Lake. There are also homes that will be within easy walking distance of future commercial developments, homes with plenty of green space outside the back door, and homes built on small pools throughout the Epperson community.
 

Get Pre-Approved for a Loan

 
Before you start looking for homes for sale in Wesley Chapel whether you are buying new construction in Epperson or not you need to get pre-approved for a mortgage. When you are pre-approved, you will not only have a better idea of your budget and what you can spend on a new home, but you’ll also facilitate the offer and buying process. To get pre-approved, visit a mortgage lender and show them proof of employment and salary as well as proof of assets. Your lender will also look at your credit score, history, and income-to-debt ratio to determine how much to pre-approve you for. Once the process is complete, you will receive a letter of pre-approval that you can take with you when you start looking at new homes.

Know Your Timeframe

 
Are you buying your first home and want to start experiencing the benefits of ownership as soon as possible? Or do you already own a home and need to sell it before you start looking for a new place? Or are you planning for the future when your kids will go to college and you can downsize to a smaller place in a fabulous location like Epperson? Knowing when you want to move will help your Wesley Chapel real estate agent assist you in achieving your buying goals. For example, if you want (or need) to move as soon as possible, a home in Epperson may not make sense as the community is currently entirely reserved and there is a waiting list for new homes. However, if your plan is to move in the next year or two, a waiting list for lagoon-front homes could be the ideal solution.
 
 

Make Sure You Get Everything in Writing

 
All the builders associated with the Epperson community are respectable and have solid reputations. However, it’s always a good idea to get everything in writing when reserving a piece of Wesley Chapel real estate in Epperson. This will help you, the builder and your agent get on the same page with issues such as timeframe, expectations, and the total price and will ensure nothing is left up to interpretation. Talk with your agent about what paperwork should be included in the buying process.
