Our final highlighted community, we wrote about Wulf Crest Farm in early February.

Here are a few things to remember when you are buying new construction:

• Choose your structural upgrades carefully, adding a bump out or walk-up will be worth more in the long run versus upgrading the carpet or tile in the bathrooms.
• Make sure you know how your new home is going to be placed on the lot. You don’t want to pay for a nice window that overlooks your neighbor’s driveway.
• You won’t get a better deal by going unrepresented. Heather wrote about this a while ago, and it’s worth a look again.
