What Is An Inventory Home?

An inventory home is a completed new construction home that is available for sale by the builder. Inventory homes are the builder’s way of offering the buying public an opportunity for owning a brand new home without the wait time of the building process (typically 4-6 months).

Home buyers who want a newly constructed home but are overwhelmed by the process of making selections on colors and finishes should take a look at inventory homes. And for those buyers who need to see exactly what they are getting without having to visualize their finished home from a display home or a floor plan brochure, an inventory home is a great option.

New construction homes are great homes to purchase. They require less maintenance, are more energy efficient and are safer than older homes. Newly constructed homes often come with warranties that are far better than any warranty you can get on an existing home.

In addition to all the great reasons for getting a newly built home, builder inventory homes offer other great perks as well. For example, a home buyer gets to enjoy the beautiful results and hard work of interior finishes that were a collaboration of the builder and their interior designers.

Many buyers want to be moved into their new home in time for the holiday season.  Builders prepare for these demands and often have great opportunities on brand new, move-in-ready inventory homes.  Although every builder is different, it is not uncommon to find year-end savings or promotional opportunities on these homes.

While builders will be happy to provide you their own in-house sales representative, we recommend you contact an experienced Realtor for help when buying a new home. An experienced real estate agent will represent your interests in the transaction, not just the builder’s interests. If you have a question about buying an inventory home or would like more information about inventory homes, contact The Boehmer Team for expert assistance.

 

 

 

Seasonal Opportunities in New Construction

Builders create more than just new homes; they create neighborhoods and communities.  Many builders construct “inventory homes” that allow a buyer to purchase a brand new home without the wait time to build.  When the end of the calendar year comes near, many builders increase their supply of inventory to accommodate the numerous homebuyers looking to get settled into their new home before year’s end.  This creates the perfect opportunity to secure a new home and  take advantage of pricing incentives that the builder may be offering.

 

The Boehmer Team has worked closely with multiple homebuilders in St. Louis County and St. Charles County, Missouri for years. We have found that by taking advantage of the builders advertised opportunities, the potential to save some money as well as secure a new home by the end of the year is a win-win for both the buyer and the seller.

Another good reason to buy a new construction inventory home according to Mark Murphy from Bridgewater Community Homes is, “Many of our buyers are putting their existing home on the market and selling right away. Buying our Jump Start home (a completed new construction home) removes the need and expense of a double move and/or putting all possessions into storage for a few months.”

A huge advantage in purchasing a new construction inventory home, other than the fact it is ready to move in and enjoy, is that they often include the most popular upgrades and desirable features that buyers want, without the stress of having to make a lot of decisions.
