If you are asking for my opinion I would tell you not to purchase a Ryland Home. I would probably look into something in a more established neighborhood rather than the track housing that Ryland likes to build. I am assuming you are looking into new construction? Correct?

What price range? Are you set on a Townhome for the low-maitenance aspect? Do you definitely want something in South Charlotte/Pineville?

i understand where your coming from charlottean (being an agent and all you resale listings) but a new, is well new. Also new builders will bend over backwards with incentives such as paying closing cost, and all kinds of other stuff!

Uh yeah I'm well aware of what builders do, nothing new there as I've been selling new construction as well for a long time.

I would buy a re-sale all day long before purchasing a Ryland new.

Sellers for re-sales will pay closing costs and other incentives as well on the behalf of buyers. Everything is negotiable within lending limitations.

FYI...There is a reason builders will bend over backwards to close on a new home. My wife has spent many years in new home construction (some of those were with Ryland) and I can tell you that IMO a lot of the work Ryland produced was sub-par. I think Charlottean is probably looking out for your best interest. Especially since I know a lot of realtors actually receive more incentives to sell new construction rather than re-sales. If you are going to buy new I would probably look into some other builders out there. Many builders are now closing up shop due to the downturn but I have listed below a few that might be worth looking into.

1) David Weekly Homes
2) Pulte
3) John Weiland Homes
4) Beazer (just kidding stay away from that one)
5) Ryan Homes
6) Westport (formerly Cambridge Homes)


Good luck!
