So, you want to buy a new home. That’s great; but first, you need to choose a new home builder. The San Diego new homes specialists of California West Communities, the brains behind such popular communities as Crosby Villas, simplifies the process with the following steps:
Choose a location: But not just any location. Crosby Villas consultants recommend, “Choose a location that has the amenities, schools and overall environment that you feel comfortable in. You may want to visit several places at different times of the day, and even talk to local residents to get a feel for the area.” Good advice!
Determine your needs: And of course, the needs of your family. The experts tell us, “…Look at home size and what the needs of your family are, and can you afford to live there. Does the floorplan flow and fit your family's lifestyle?” Oh yes, price! That’s always an important factor too.

Check them out: The homebuilder, that is. Are they in good standing in the area? According to Crosby Villas consultants, “You want a homebuilder who has a reputation for quality, craftsmanship and is there with you through every step of the homebuying process.” Checking local news stories (or national, if it is a national builder) to be sure they are free from scandal is a good way to be sure this builder does its job right.
The, the real fun begins! Home “shopping” through attractively decorated models is the most exciting part – and often, the part that leads to you determining which builder will create your new home.
