Tell us about your plans. Joseph F. Porto replies personally.
Many buyers think new homes cost too much here. That is not always true. After Hurricane Sandy, many owners rebuilt their houses on raised foundations. These rebuilt homes often come with new wiring, new plumbing and flood vents. That means fewer repair bills after you move in.

Cheap homes do not always show up on the big sites first. Here are ten places our buyers check:
Start with a broker who knows the area. It saves you time, money and stress.
A low price can hide high costs. Check these points before you buy. Ask for the flood zone and the elevation certificate. A house below base flood elevation can carry a large insurance bill. You can look up any address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
Look closely at the bulkhead and the foundation. Repairs near the water cost more than inland work. Get a home inspection, even on a fixer upper. Check the property taxes and any open city violations. Get preapproved, so sellers take your offer seriously. Contact our team before you make an offer.

Questions We Hear
Set alerts on listing sites for your price range. Then work with a local broker. Brokers often hear about price cuts, estate sales and quiet listings before the public does.
Look at fixer uppers, estate sales, foreclosures and auctions. Homes that need cosmetic work often sell below market value. A broker can tell you which repairs are simple and which are costly.
Plan for a down payment, closing costs and moving expenses. Many loans ask for 3 to 20 percent down. New York closing costs often add a few more percent of the price.
Yes, if the low price comes from cosmetic issues and not major defects. Always get an inspection. Check the roof, foundation, flood risk and title before you commit to buy.
Get preapproved first, so you know your real limit. Look into first time buyer programs. Then target homes that need light work, and negotiate repairs or credits after the inspection.
