When buying a new home, it's important to shop carefully for your builder as well as the home itself. Whether you are purchasing a condo, a townhouse, a home in a subdivision, or a custom-built home, you want to ensure that you are purchasing a high-quality home from a reputable builder. Here are a few tips to help you choose a builder.

After you have determined what type of house you want, you can create a list of potential Park City builders. If you browse local newspapers and the internet, then you can learn which builders are active in your area, the types of homes they are building, and the prices they charge. Create a list of builders who build the home you want in your price range. You may also find assistance from local real estate agents. Consult your friends and relatives for recommendations. Find out which builders they have dealt with directly or acquaintances they know who have recently had a good experience with a builder.

You should interview potential home builders to get answers to all your questions. Here are some questions to ask builders. Then, visit the subdivisions and homes built by the builder. Try to talk to them and get a random sample of opinions from several owners.

You should at least drive by and see if the houses are visually appealing. Take a notebook with you when you talk with a Park City home builder and homeowners to write down the information you find and your impressions of specific builders and homes. That way, you can compare them later.

Take a look at new homes whenever you can. It is a good idea to check out homes at home shows and open houses sponsored by builders. Model homes and houses displayed at home shows usually have furniture to give ideas on how to use the space. You may also ask a builder to show you unfurnished homes.
