Why Buy New in the DMV?

Modern Floor Plans:

Finally get the open-concept kitchen, the massive primary suite, and the dedicated home office that older Tri-State inventory simply wasn't built for.

Maintenance Vacation:

Forget about the 30-year-old roof or the failing HVAC. Move into a home where everything is under warranty, giving you more time to explore your new city.

Builder Incentives:

In today’s market, many DMV builders offer aggressive mortgage rate buy-downs or design center credits that can save you thousands, if you know how to ask.

The Off-Market Hunt

I have direct relationships with top DMV developers (Toll Brothers, NVHomes, Lennar, and boutique local builders). I find "spec" homes and upcoming phases before they hit the public MLS.

    Mortgage Help

    Down Payment

    The typical rule of thumb is to pay 20 percent of the home's price as your down payment, although some mortgage loans require as little as 3.5 percent down. Your down payment reduces the total amount of your mortgage loan, so the more money you put down, the lower your payments will be - or the more expensive a house you can buy.

    Loan Term

    Your loan program can affect your interest rate and monthly payments. Choose from 30-year fixed, 15-year fixed, and more in the calculator.

    Loan Type

    There are several types of mortgage loans, but the most commonly used are fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans. Fixed-rate loans have the same interest rate for the entire duration of the loan. That means your monthly payment will be the same, even for long-term loans, such as 30-year fixed-rate mortgages. Two benefits to this loan type are stability, and being able to calculate your total interest up front. Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) have interest rates that can change over time. Typically they start out at a lower interest rate than a fixed-rate loan, and hold that rate for a set number of years, before changing interest rates from year to year. For example, if you have a 5/1 ARM, you will have the same interest rate for the first 5 years, and then your interest rate will change from year to year. The main benefit of an adjustable-rate loan is starting off with a lower interest rate.

    Interest Rate

    This field is pre-filled with the current average mortgage rate. Your actual rate will vary based on factors like credit score and down payment.

    Property Tax Rate

    The mortgage payment calculator includes estimated property taxes based on the home's value. You can edit this in the advanced options.

    Home Insurance

    Home insurance or homeowners insurance is typically required by lenders, depending on the loan program. You can edit this number in the mortgage calculator advanced options.

    HOA Fees

    A homeowners association fee (HOA fee) is an amount of money that must be paid monthly by owners of certain types of residential properties, and HOAs collect these fees to assist with maintaining and improving properties in the association.
