Important for New Construction Buyers
When you visit a builder's model home or sales office without a Realtor, you may waive your right to buyer representation. Register me as your agent on your first visit — it costs you nothing and gives you an experienced advocate at the negotiating table.
New Construction Activity in Shelby County
Shelby County has seen consistent new construction activity over the past several years, driven by demand from Louisville commuters and buyers priced out of Jefferson County. Several active subdivisions in Shelbyville and Simpsonville are currently offering new builds across a range of price points.
New construction in Shelby County typically ranges from the mid-$200,000s for smaller production homes to $600,000+ for custom builds on larger lots. Most active subdivisions are within 10 minutes of Shelbyville or Simpsonville, offering easy access to schools, shopping, and the interstate.
I stay current on all active new construction communities in the county — which builders are offering incentives, which lots are available, and which phases are selling out quickly. If you're interested in new construction, call me before you visit any model homes.
5 Things to Know Before Buying New Construction
The builder's agent represents the builder — not you. Having your own agent costs you nothing and protects your interests.
New construction prices are often negotiable, especially on spec homes and end-of-phase lots.
Builder warranties vary significantly. Know what's covered and for how long before you sign.
Get an independent home inspection even on new construction — it catches issues before closing.
Upgrades add up fast. Set a firm budget for the design center before you walk in.
