Eager to own a new home but don’t want to wait forever while it’s being built? A fast-occupancy, or inventory, home may be your answer.
These homes have either already been built or are under construction but don’t have an owner. In some cases, a buyer may have had to break an agreement to purchase. In others, like a multi-unit building, the builder may have had to construct the home before it was sold to complete a block of units.
Occupancy on move-in ready homes ranges from immediate to a few months hence. Some also include upgrades or offer the chance to select upgrades.
