Looking Beyond Yuba City

If you're open to a short drive, there's plenty more new construction across the valley. Lennar is building in Plumas Lake at Rio Del Oro and Northpoint. LGI has Goldfields Ranch in Linda. KB Home is active in Lincoln (Aurora Heights at Twelve Bridges) and Roseville (Placer One). I'll cover these areas in upcoming articles.

Tips for Buying a New Construction Home

• Bring your own agent on your first visit. Many builders will only work with your agent if the agent registers you on your first visit, or comes with you. The builder's sales team represents the builder, not you.
• Compare what's included, not just the base price. Solar, appliances, garage size, and lot premiums can change the real cost a lot.
• Ask about incentives. Builders often offer rate buydowns or closing-cost credits, especially on quick move-in homes, but these usually require their preferred lender and can change monthly.
• Get an independent inspection. Even a brand-new home benefits from a third-party inspection before drywall and before closing.

Do new homes in Yuba City come with solar?

California requires solar on most new homes, but builders handle the cost differently. LGI Homes lists solar as included at Chima Ranch. K. Hovnanian states that solar is not included in its advertised price and can be leased or purchased. Always ask how solar is handled before you compare prices.

Are there new homes in Yuba City with space for multigenerational living?

Yes. Henson Ranch offers plans with up to six bedrooms and markets itself to multigenerational families, and select plans at Aspire at Sycamore Ranch include an Extra Suite or Extra Suite+.

Do I need a real estate agent to buy a new construction home?

It isn't required, but it's highly recommended. Many builders offer compensation to buyer's agents, so having your own representation for negotiations, contracts, and inspections may cost you little or nothing extra. Ask the builder about its policy. Just make sure your agent is with you, or registers you, on your first visit.
