It can be mind numbing trying to track sales of the more than 1,000 new construction condos currently on the market. After all, there are more than 17 projects actively selling units in a variety of neighborhoods, and sales offices play things close to the vest. You’ll find a limited number of units listed on real estate Web sites; pricing is typically not public and changes continuously based on the most recent sales.
So if you’re drawn to brand new condos, where do you begin to look? With the help of my company, Zephyr Real Estate, I pulled together the vital deets on some of my favorite projects. Note: I am not on the sales teams for any of these projects, but can represent you independently. This means I can get you started with a loan preapproval and walk you through the contract and the entire process—looking out for your best interests.
So check out what’s on tap, and give me a shout if you’d like to explore your options within any of these projects:
