New Construction - Watching Progression

As a broker it is very interesting to watch a home progress. Many times the builder will list the property when they have not even broken ground. If the location is good then it is something to keep in mind and show at every stage.

However, most times the buyers can’t visualize what the finished product will look like and so the listing at the very early stage is almost a non listing – it becomes a future listing. There are some people that will be able to understand what will be there in the finished stages, especially if it is a house built by someone with a track record.

Still, most prefer to actaully see it compelted before buying. Right now I am keeping my eye on a couple of homes under construction. One is Janette’s and my listing on the ocean in Montauk and so it’s progress is very important to me. Janette and I were there today and it is coming along nicely now. The kitchen cabinets are in, the walls are being painted, the lighting is in, the finished basement is being completed.

Still it is a construction site and until the floors are done and the countertops and appliances are installed and then it pulls together as a home. There is also another house that I keep watching and waiting for it to near completion and take enough shape to show a
customer that I am working with. Patience and Progress.
