Buying your first home is an exciting yet overwhelming process. Conner Homes, with over 65 years of experience in the Puget Sound area, makes it easy, offering a smooth and enjoyable home buying journey. Whether you’re looking for a move-in ready home or prefer a customized build, this step-by-step guide walks you through how to purchase a Conner Home, highlighting everything you need to know to make your dream home a reality.
Step 1: Choose Your Home Type (Pre-Sale vs. Quick Move-In)
First, decide on the type of home that suits you best. Pre-sale homes allow you to select a homesite and floor plan and customize finishes as your home is being built. Quick move-in homes are already completed or near completion, and are a great option if you need to move sooner.
Conner Homes offers new construction homes in communities across Seattle, Snohomish, Kent, and Puyallup, making it easy to find a home that fits your needs. A Conner Homes representative will guide you through the selection process, helping you choose the right option based on your timeline and preferences.
Step 2: Select Your Homesite and Floor Plan
Once you’ve decided on a home type, it’s time to select a homesite and floor plan. For pre-sale homes, you’ll work with a Conner representative to find the perfect home in your desired community, then choose a floor plan that meets your needs, whether that’s a larger living spaces, extra bedrooms, or a spacious backyard. With quick move-in homes, you can simply browse available homes and pick the one you love most.
Conner Homes builds in desirable communities in Seattle, Kent, and other areas in the Seattle area. These communities offer everything from scenic views to urban conveniences, ensuring you find a location that fits your lifestyle.
Step 3: Customize Your Finishes and Features
One of the most exciting parts of buying a home is personalizing it. After selecting your home, Conner Homes offers you the chance to customize it by selecting from kitchen cabinetry and lighting to flooring and appliances.
At the design center, a design specialist will guide you through various options. Whether you want a sleek modern kitchen or a cozy living room, you’ll have the opportunity to choose finishes that reflect your personal style. For quick move-in homes, major finishes like cabinets and countertops are pre-selected, but you can still add appliances and window blinds to complete the look.
Step 4: Walk-Through and Orientation
As construction progresses, Conner Homes offers two walk-throughs to make sure your home is on track. The first is the framewalk, which happens when the framing, plumbing, and electrical are in place, but before drywall is up. This is the perfect time to make sure everything is laid out just as you envision.
The second walk-through is the new home orientation once construction is nearly complete. This final walk-through gives you a chance to check for any touch-ups and learn how to use your new home’s systems (like the HVAC, appliances, and smart lighting).
Both walk-throughs ensure you’re familiar with your new home and comfortable moving forward.
Step 5: Receive Your Keys and Move In!
The day you’ve been waiting for – closing day! On this day, you’ll meet with your sales representative, sign the final paperwork, and receive your keys. Your new home is officially yours!
Conner Homes ensures that the home is move-in ready and that you have all the support you need to settle in. After closing, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that Conner Homes has a customer care team ready to help with any post-move-in questions.
