Do's and Don'ts of New Construction Upgrades | New Home Upgrades that Add Value
Do you lose sleep at night wondering about new home upgrades that add value? Ensure you don't make the same mistakes many others have made before you. Check out the best new home upgrades and new home upgrades to avoid. Ensure you spend money on new home upgrades that are worth it and find ease in building a home.
Hi guys, I'm Erica Parker, Houston Realtor and your Queen of Real Estate. And today we're talking about new home construction tips and the dos and don'ts of where to put your money in the new construction upgrades. So to start, the first place I think you should spend your money is in all the structural upgrades that you want to have done.
No. 2 I would say you need to spend your money is in the kitchen. The first item is the cabinetry. I do recommend that you take the upper cabinets to 42" at least. And if you can, take them to the ceiling, then you'll have a more finished look. Also, if it's not included in the price to have granite countertops, I would upgrade to granite. If you're in the luxury market of $500,000 or more, I would say get what you want. But I do think that Quartz sells better than regular granite, or get granite with a higher-end look with veining through it. Next, I do think that you should go ahead and splurge for the gourmet kitchen option. Now the gourmet kitchen is usually the double oven, a cooktop, and then a built-in microwave somewhere. I also think that it should include a farm sink. And finally, in the kitchen, make sure that you have an Island if you can have an Island. It is one of the biggest things that is going to sell a home, especially if it's an oversized Island and having a big area for a more serving space.
No. 3 is spending your money in the master bath. That can actually get you one of the best returns on your investment. I do think you should pay for the upgraded walk-in shower with the drop flooring so that you don't have to have the plastic pan in the bottom. The freestanding tub is very popular, too. Those lines on a freestanding tub is actually a very popular thing right now. You also want double sinks in the master if you can, and adult height countertops. Also, if it comes with granite, great, leave it at granite. If it doesn't, I recommend that you upgrade to granite and probably level one.
Here are the things that I don't think you should spend your money on in the design area because either it doesn't add equity or it's a lot less expensive to do after closing on the house.
1) Paint.
2) Fixtures: light fixtures, faucets, doorknobs, all of that.
3) Flooring: Carpet. Caveat, it's harder to rip out the tile that's already been laid, so if you do want something nicer, a different color tile or nicer tile, then go ahead and do that upgrade.
4) Appliances. Caveat, if the appliance is included and you want to upgrade, I would go ahead and do the upgrade because then you don't want to be stuck with paying for two separate appliances.
5) Crown molding.
As I said before, it's all about what you want and what's going to make you happy. But you also want to understand what your return on investment is going to be if you ever were to resale this property. These are some of the items that I would not spend the money on for resale, you're not going to get your equity.

5 TIPS TO DO BEFORE SHOPPING NEW CONSTRUCTION | New Build | Home Buying Tips 2021
It is important to know these home buying tips 2021 before shopping new construction or walking into a model home and sitting down with a home builder's representative. Knowledge is power when negotiating for a new build. Home building is very different from buying a resale home.
Low supply and high demand are pushing people towards buying new construction homes. Erica Parker, Houston Realtor, give new construction tips for buyers in this informative video of what to do before you go shopping for new home construction.
00:00 Welcome
1:03 Here are 5 Tips you need to know before walking into a model home and having a new construction meeting.
1:09 Number 1. I would suggest that you do some research on the builder and the neighborhood.
4:35 Number 2. I would say, "Get a Real Estate Agent". When you have a real estate agent working for you, they go to bat for you.
7:26 Number 3. I think you need to understand that the signs outside the builders homes that say "mid-100s to mid-300s" are not what your house is going to cost.
7:48 A lot of times you're going to spend anywhere from 7 to 15% of the base price in upgrades.
8:00 Be prepared that if you are buying a $500,000 house, you will spend anywhere from $35,000 to $75,000 in upgrades.
8:06 There are two types of upgrades. There is a structural upgrade and a design upgrade.
8:38 Number 4. Educate yourself on the buying process.
9:41 Understand how many meetings you will get to have. If there is a pre-construction meeting. How many showroom meetings your get.
9:56 You want to get things priced out so that you can compare what it would cost to have the builder do those and or going to a contractor or Home Depot or Floor & Decor and seeing how much it would cost for you to get the materials and the labor done separately from the builder.
10:40 Number 5 (and this is something that I've preached to a lot of my viewers) is shop your loan.

3 Stages of the Loan Process: 3. After Closing | Home Loan | Home Buying Tips 2021
After Closing and finalizing the home loan, time to have a party! If you are buying a home for the first time, celebrate with friends and family or even a welcome to the neighborhood party amongst strangers.
Paul Lamnatos, Houston Lender, explains to Erica Parker, Houston Realtor, and her homebuyers what happens in the loan process after closing. From when you should make your first payment on the mortgage to information about homestead exemption benefits, the mortgage process after closing is a cakewalk for most.
Don't forget to pay your mortgage though. "I didn't get the statement" is not an excuse and know that your loan will likely be sold many times over time. Finally, make sure you have a party to celebrate.
Check out our earlier videos on 3 Stages of the Loan Process: Stage 1 The Preapproval Process and 3 Stages of the Loan Process: 2. Under Contract.
