New construction

What is different about buying new construction in The Woodlands area?

New construction often uses builder contracts, staged deposits, option selections, and completion timelines that differ from resale TREC forms. Representation still matters. Compare HOA/MUD fees, warranties, and lot premiums carefully — and keep wire-fraud habits for any deposits.

Detailed explanation

Incentives change. Get every promise in writing. Independent inspections still have a role depending on stage and contract.

Wire-fraud warning: Criminals spoof email near closing. Before sending any wire, call your title company using a phone number you verified independently (official website or prior business card) — not a number in a new email. Confirm account name, number, and amount.
