Charleston, SC New Construction Homes and Communities
New construction homes in Charleston are becoming increasingly difficult to find due to the high demand for new homes in the area and the limited land available for new construction. Builders often wait to list properties until they have obtained a permit, which means that they have more inventory available for those who want to build from the ground up and choose all of their colors and finishes. To ensure that you see all of your options, please contact us to discuss your timeline and building opportunities. We can help you find a newly finished move-in ready home, a site that is already under construction with 2-4 months remaining, or a proposed construction home with a build time of 5 months or more.

When buying new construction, it's important to have your own representation versus using the on-site sales agent (usually working at the community's model home). Here's why:
On-site agents know their builder's product very well but typically don't know new construction options outside their neighborhood. In other words, they can't give unbiased comparisons between new neighborhoods. If long term value and resale are important to you, it's good to consider all your options and hear both pros and cons for various communities.
On-site agents work directly for the builder, so it's difficult to negotiate pricing and mitigate problems that arise when it's only the builder and their agent involved. As you can imagine, this can become one-sided when a situation only involves you, the builder, and their agent.
Working with the builder's agent does not save the buyer money. If you don't have your own agent, the building company keeps the designated commission. In other words, it doesn't mean a lower price for you.
