Summerlin New Construction FAQ: Buying New Homes in Las Vegas

Q1: What are the main new construction areas in Summerlin right now?

The three primary active new construction areas are Reverence (Summerlin's newest large-scale development in far west with prices from $600K-$1.5M+), Stonebridge (offering mid-range to upper pricing at $550K-$1M), and Redpoint (a newer village with various home sizes and mountain views). Each area features multiple builders and different price points to accommodate various buyers.

Q2: Which builders are currently active in Summerlin?

Major builders include Toll Brothers (luxury with premium finishes), Taylor Morrison (mid-range to luxury with modern floor plans), Lennar (known for "Everything's Included" packages), Pulte Homes (life-tested designs with practical layouts), and Shea Homes (multiple product lines including Trilogy 55+). Each builder offers different features, price points, and upgrade options.

Q3: How long does the new construction process typically take?

The typical build time is 4-8 months from start to finish. The process includes visiting sales offices, selecting your lot and floor plan, choosing upgrades at the design center, the construction period, and finally the closing with a final walkthrough. Timeline can vary based on the builder, complexity of the home, and current construction schedules.

Q4: Do I need a buyer's agent when purchasing new construction?

Yes, having a buyer's agent is highly recommended. Builders welcome buyer's agents and pay the commission, so there's no cost to you. An agent protects you during the building process, helps negotiate upgrades, and ensures proper inspections. Important: You must register your agent on your first visit to the sales office, as builders typically won't pay agents who appear after initial registration.

Q5: What are the advantages of buying new construction versus resale homes?

New construction offers modern designs, builder warranty, energy efficiency, and customization options. Resale homes provide established neighborhoods, mature landscaping, and a known product. When comparing prices, remember to include upgrades in new construction costs. The best choice depends on your priorities—whether you value modern features and customization or prefer move-in ready homes in established areas.

Q6: How do lot premiums work in new construction communities?

The location of your lot affects the overall price. Builders charge premiums for desirable lots including those with mountain views, corner locations, larger sizes, or positions on cul-de-sacs. Premium lots can add tens of thousands to the base price, but often provide better resale value and enhanced living experience.

Q7: What should I expect at the design center appointment?

The design center appointment is where you select upgrades and finishes for your new home. This includes flooring, countertops, cabinets, fixtures, appliances, and other customization options. Upgrades can significantly increase the base price, so establish a budget beforehand. Your buyer's agent can help you negotiate upgrade credits and make informed decisions about which upgrades add the most value.

Q8: What makes Lennar's "Everything's Included" program different?

Lennar's "Everything's Included" program bundles many standard upgrades into the base price that other builders charge extra for. This includes smart home features, upgraded appliances, and other desirable finishes. This approach provides competitive pricing with fewer surprise costs and makes it easier to compare total investment across different builders.

Q9: What is the price range for new construction in Summerlin?

New construction in Summerlin ranges from approximately $550K to over $1.5M depending on the community, builder, floor plan, and upgrades. Stonebridge and Redpoint offer mid-range options starting around $550K-$600K, while Reverence extends into luxury pricing up to $1.5M+. Toll Brothers typically represents the higher end with premium finishes, while builders like Lennar and Pulte offer more mid-range options.

Q10: What happens during the final walkthrough before closing?

The final walkthrough occurs just before closing and is your opportunity to inspect the completed home. You'll check that all agreed-upon features and upgrades are installed correctly, ensure everything is functioning properly, and create a punch list of any items needing attention. Your buyer's agent will accompany you to help identify issues and ensure the builder addresses any concerns before or shortly after closing.
