Happy Holidays,
I wanted to share with you some information that may not be available on the MLS & is often kept inside of small circles of Investors & Realtors. I have uploaded on My Google Docs the most recent list of brand new inventory, where you can find the addresses and prices for some brand new homes in various areas of Los Angeles County. Even if you may not be looking to buy any homes in areas specified in the attachment, you for sure have some friends or family members that will thank you for forwarding them this information all together in one pdf. Of course you can check various developers' websites to get more info on their homes. If you want to start receiving updates on brand new homes (like the one within the link above), please comment below or call me or Email me
Please note that even if you work with an agent, but if you go to view ANY BRAND NEW CONSTRUCTION on your own, you will most likely need to be represented by the listing agent that shows you around. If you would like to be able to get a full attention as a buyer of a brand new home, your first step is to call the agent you are working with & tell him/her that you'd like to view a certain property. That way your agent can place a call to the developers listing office and find out if they would honor your current relationship with agent if registered by phone or if YOUR AGENT MUST BE WITH YOU DURING THE FIRST VISIT in order to honor your agency relationship.
Please also note that if inside of the building (if condo) or community (if PUD homes...) a builder has sold less than 49% of the available units, there is a big possibility that only one or maybe two lenders will be able to give a loan. In that case your agent or yourself should try to negotiate a good rate and get Good Faith Estimate (GFE) of your Closing Cost. Over the past year I had a couple of buyers that decided to go with a lender that offered them the lowest rate, but when we were ready to close the escrow and sign loan docs, my buyers oversaw the enormous amount charged by their lender for their closing cost. Make sure you get full explanation from your lender if she/he offers you a lower rate by buying points. If you need a few mortgage brokers and direct lenders please check http://realestatemarbles.com/greathollywoodhomes/info-center/ , call all of them and when you get the best rate call back the one that you liked the most and ask if she/he can beat that quote. :)
