According to a customer satisfaction study of homebuilder conducted by J.D.Power and Associates, 92% of new home buyers say they received a sales incentive for making their new home purchase. The incentives includes reduced pricing and credit towards upgrades or closing costs averaging $16,500.
Although 75% of the buyers say the builder did not identify their home as a "green home," 28% believed their home to be environmentally friendly. The features in the home that buyers felt were environmentally beneficial were energy-efficient air and heating, energy-saving appliances, lighting and windows.
If you are considering purchasing new construction and taking advantage of the benifits of buyer incentives and energy-efficient features be sure you have a REALTOR working for you to negotiate those advantages. Remember, the friendly salesperson in the model home represents the seller, not you. I've found new home salesman work well with buyer agents because they know that agents bring them a large percentage of their business.
