Anyone have any advice on purchasing a new home?
Should I go to a real estate agent? What are the pros and cons of going to one versus purchasing it on your own?
Any recommendations on home builders? I was looking at Minto as they are pretty reputable but their town homes are kind of expensive for my liking so perhaps a terrace home would suffice? Any information on terrace homes would be appreciated (for ex: are they sound proof enough to have a bunch of guests over with loud music, are they a good return on investment when planning to re-sell them?).
Lastly, any good sites other than the typical for searching for a home? Remax, GrapeVine, Royal Lepage I've used already.
Any other information would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance.
EDIT: also can you negotiate a lower price for BRAND NEW homes? Or are the base price fixed? I know you can negotiate for older homes but not sure about brand new ones.
