New construction in downtown Delray Beach comes with a different set of questions than buying resale — and the answers matter as much as the finishes you're picking out.
Warranties
Ask exactly what's covered, for how long, and whether structural items carry a separate, longer warranty than finishes and appliances. Get it in writing, not just verbally from the sales office.
Timelines
Builder timelines slip more often than buyers expect. Ask about the builder's track record on recent projects specifically, not just the estimate for yours, and understand what happens contractually if the closing date moves.
What's actually included
Model homes are often upgraded well beyond the base package. Get a detailed, written list of what's standard versus what costs extra before you fall in love with a model that isn't what you're actually buying.
Frequently asked
What should I ask a builder before buying new construction in Delray Beach? Get specifics on warranty coverage and duration, the builder's actual track record on delivery timelines, and a written list of what's included versus optional.
Are model homes the same as what I'll actually get? Often not — model homes are frequently upgraded beyond the base package, so always get a written specification of your unit's actual inclusions.
