The most joyful way to buy a new home in the age of AI

When working with Jome, there’s effectively no cost for you as the buyer. You don’t pay anything directly to Jome—our compensation comes from the builder based on marketing or referral agreements. This means the price you pay for a home remains the same as if you went directly to the builder. Additionally, since we collaborate with all builders, we remain completely builder-agnostic, focusing solely on your interests without concern for how or if we’re compensated by the builder.

Compared to used homes, new construction homes, especially spec or production ones, offer advantages such as customization, energy efficiency, warranty, modern design, better safety, lower maintenance costs, and move-in readiness. Also builders often offer incentives and special offers, such as discounts or upgrades, which can make the deal more appealing and cost-effective for homebuyers.

New construction homes were traditionally more expensive on average, but that’s no longer the case. In fact, they’re now often considered more affordable, especially with the incentives builders are offering. These include interest rate buy-downs, contributions toward closing costs, and other perks that help reduce affordability barriers, making it easier for buyers to purchase the home they want.

If you need help finding a home where you want to live, try expanding your search area, re-evaluating your priorities, or simply being patient. Jome can also provide valuable insights into new neighborhoods being developed in the area and may have more housing options that meet your needs and preferences.

New construction homes offer various customization options, such as floor plans, finishes, appliances, lighting, outdoor features, and smart home technology. However, the specific customization options available can vary depending on your home type. It’s important to understand the available customization options and how much they cost and receive guidance throughout the process of making choices that fit your budget and lifestyle. New construction homes are often more affordable to maintain in the long run. They’re typically more energy-efficient, come with lower insurance costs, and are easier to upkeep thanks to the warranties provided by the builder.
