New Construction Sales & Leasing in Albuquerque

Why You Need Representation for New Construction

When you walk into a builder's model home, the sales agent on site works for the builder — not for you. Builder contracts are written to protect the builder's interests, and without your own representation, you may miss critical negotiation opportunities or agree to unfavorable terms. Our new construction services ensure you have an advocate from your first model home visit through final walkthrough.

New Home Communities in Albuquerque

Albuquerque's active new construction market spans several major developments:

• Volterra (West Side) — Master-planned community with multiple builders, parks, and mountain views
• Mesa del Sol — Innovative planned community south of the airport with a focus on sustainability
• Mariposa — Upscale community in Rio Rancho with panoramic views and resort amenities
• Loma Colorado — Established Rio Rancho community with new phases and excellent schools
• Infill projects — Boutique builders creating contemporary homes and custom builds in established Albuquerque neighborhoods

What We Negotiate for New Construction Buyers

Builder negotiations are different from resale negotiations. We focus on:

• Upgrades and incentives — Builders often offer substantial upgrade packages or closing cost credits that aren't advertised. We know what to ask for.
• Lot premiums — Corner lots, view lots, and cul-de-sac positions carry premiums. We ensure you're paying fair value.
• Contract terms — Builder contracts often include binding arbitration clauses, escalation provisions, and limited warranties. We review every clause.
• Construction timeline protections — Delays happen. We negotiate milestone deadlines and remedies for extended timelines.

New Build Homes Under Construction

For buyers who want a recently built home without the wait, we also help locate spec homes and move-in-ready new construction. These homes offer the benefits of new construction — modern floor plans, energy efficiency, builder warranties — without the 6- to 12-month build timeline.

New Construction Leasing

Some builders and investors offer lease options on newly constructed homes. This can be an excellent path for buyers who need time to qualify for financing or who want to experience a neighborhood before committing to purchase. We help negotiate favorable lease terms with purchase options.
