Buying new construction in the Triangle? These 3 costs catch buyers off guard every single time — the appliances and blinds you saw in the model home don’t automatically come with yours, excise tax that gets shifted to the buyer at closing, and a property tax increase in year two that most people never see coming. Unless you know about these going in, they will hit you at the worst possible time. Save this before your next builder visit and share it with anyone shopping new construction right now. #NicPlatterRealtor #NewConstructionHomes #MovingToRaleigh #FirstTimeHomeBuyer #HomeBuyingTips
