New Construction Homes in Austin & Beyond
Modern Design. Energy Efficiency. Fewer Surprises.
Whether you're a first-time buyer, investor, relocating from out of state, or simply looking to upgrade, new construction homes across Austin and the greater Central Texas area offer a powerful combination of value, flexibility, and peace of mind.
From large builder communities to smaller custom or infill developments, our goal is to guide you through the process and help you make a confident, well-informed decision — without missing a beat (or a builder incentive).
Why Work With an Agent on a New Build?
It’s one of the biggest myths in real estate:
“I don’t need an agent when I buy from a builder.”
The truth? Builder sales reps work for the builder — not you. That’s why having your own agent matters.
Here’s what we do that the builder’s team won’t:
Advocate for your best interest from first visit to final walkthrough
Negotiate incentives, upgrades, and closing costs
Vet your contract and timeline to make sure you know what you’re signing
Connect you with inspectors, lenders, and pros who aren’t tied to the builder
Help you choose the best lot, floor plan, and phase based on resale and market trends
Where to Look for New Construction
New communities are popping up all over Central Texas, especially in:
South Austin, Buda, and Kyle – fast-growing but still close to the city
Georgetown, Liberty Hill & Leander – for those who want space, schools, and value
Lockhart, Bastrop & Manor – for early-phase pricing and strong appreciation potential
Infill builds within Austin city limits – when you want modern living in established neighborhoods
Perks of Buying a New Construction Home
Builder Warranties – most offer 1-2-10 coverage for peace of mind
Lower Maintenance – no surprises like a 20-year-old HVAC or roof
Modern Layouts & Finishes – open-concept living, energy efficiency, and the upgrades you actually want
Incentives & Buyer Credits – especially for homes that are move-in ready or at the end of a phase
Room to Personalize – depending on the builder, you may get to choose finishes, structural upgrades, or design packages

FAQs About New Construction Homes
Do I really need a Realtor if I’m buying directly from a builder?
Yes — and in most cases, it costs you nothing. The builder's sales rep represents the builder, not you. When you work with us, we advocate for your best interest, help negotiate incentives or upgrades, explain the fine print, and guide you through every phase of construction.
Can I use my own lender?
Absolutely. Builders often recommend preferred lenders, and while they may offer incentives, you're not required to use them. We’ll help you compare loan terms to make sure you’re getting the best deal — whether through the builder’s lender or your own.
Can I still get an inspection on a new home?
Yes — and we recommend it. Just because a home is new doesn’t mean it’s perfect. A third-party inspection before closing can catch things the builder should fix before you move in. We can even schedule phase inspections during construction, if you’re buying early in the process.
What if the home isn’t finished by the time I need to move?
We’ll help you understand the builder’s timeline upfront and identify any red flags. If you’re in a lease or selling another home, we’ll build a plan (and buffer) to minimize stress. We also help negotiate protections in your contract when possible.
Do I get to pick finishes and upgrades?
In many cases, yes. It depends on the builder and how far along the home is. Early buyers often get to choose countertops, flooring, and fixtures. For quick move-ins, the finishes are typically pre-selected — but we’ll help you assess value either way.
Are builder incentives real — or just marketing?
They’re real, but they vary by builder and timing. Incentives might include interest rate buy-downs, closing cost contributions, or upgrade credits — especially if the builder wants to move inventory quickly. We’ll make sure you understand what’s being offered and whether it’s truly a good deal.
