Tips for Buying a New Construction Home in Rancho Cordova

• Bring your own agent on your first visit. Many builders require registration then, and the sales team represents the builder.
• Compare the total monthly cost. Community assessments, special taxes, HOA dues, and lot premiums can add hundreds of dollars a month here.
• Ask about incentives. Rate buydowns and credits often require the builder’s lender and change often.
• Confirm solar terms. Ask whether solar is included, leased, or sold separately.
• Get an independent inspection before drywall and before closing.
