  • Pre-Construction vs. Resale at a Glance

    With resale, you’re buying a home that already exists. You can walk through it, inspect it, and usually close within a few months.

    With pre-construction, you’re committing to something that hasn’t been built yet—often years before move-in. That can give you more time to plan and the chance to own something brand new, but it also comes with more unknowns along the way.

    In the full Pre-Construction 101 guide, Lucas breaks down real examples of pre-con vs. resale so you can see how they compare on timing, risk, and total cost—not just purchase price.

  • Why the Builder and Project Matter So Much

    When you buy pre-construction, you’re not just choosing a floor plan—you’re trusting a builder and a project that will unfold over time. Reputation, track record, and how past communities are holding up matter more than the showroom alone.

    Lucas looks beyond the marketing to help you ask better questions: How have their past projects performed? How long did they take? How did buyers feel after moving in?

    The full guide includes a practical checklist of builder and project questions you can use before you get serious about any launch.

  • Deposits, Timelines & Your Cash Flow

    Pre-construction doesn’t ask for all your money at once—but it does require a clear plan. You’ll typically pay deposits in stages, then handle closing costs and mortgage financing years down the road.

    Understanding how much cash you’ll need, and when you’ll need it, is the difference between feeling in control and feeling stretched.

    In the full Pre-Construction 101 PDF, Lucas walks through sample deposit schedules, common closing costs, and key questions to ask your lender and lawyer so you know your total commitment—not just the sticker price.
