There is plenty of room to gather and relax on the sprawling deck. Downtown Fuquay-Varina is just a short walk for some dinner and shopping. When you’re home you will feel a great amount of privacy but due to the location you get to be close to town which it makes it so easy for running errands.

The builder group is most likely going to require a non-refundable builder deposit, especially if you are starting the process from the ground up because the builder will be building a home specific to what YOU pick out. This deposit will be a credit towards the purchase price at closing, however if you don’t close on the home you will risk losing your deposit. The builder is also going to base your new home costs on expected pricing of the time of your construction, which most likely will be higher than was used for the existing inventory in the neighborhood. Don’t be surprised if your “custom pre-sale home” ends up costing much more than the inventory “spec” homes that are already in the neighborhood for sale.
The professional real estate brokers of Front Porch Realty are experts at knowing how to negotiate for YOU at a new construction neighborhood for an existing spec home or a pre-sale home. We can help you navigate through the builder contracts and negotiation process as well as the inspection process along the way to a smooth closing.
We also have many local trusted lenders that offer “Construction to Permanent loans” which takes some risk off the builder and may help you save money with your new home financing. In this situation the Buyer applies for the construction loan at the beginning of the build process and at a time of completion of the home the lender converts the construction loan to a mortgage.
Our area is booming with new construction! If you were thinking of buying a new construction home for the new year we are happy to help. We have worked with many local, regional, and national builders and have started Pre-Sales for our new custom homes in

The deck was updated earlier this week and we are loving it!
