Should you buy a new construction homes right now, or wait? If you’re looking at new homes around Princeton, West Windsor and Central NJ, this breaks down what to actually compare.
In this video I walk through the two types of new construction — quick move-in vs to-be-built — how to calculate the real total price (lot premium + base + structural options + design upgrades), and how builder incentives like rate buydowns, closing cost help and design credits actually work. I share a simple $20,000 example: $20k off price vs $20k toward a buydown, and why the monthly payment math is so different.
