Not all new construction is created equal 😬 Some homes are built to last—others? Let’s just say, you’ll feel the difference.
So how do you spot QUALITY new construction vs. something that might not age well? Look for:
– Workmanship: Even surfaces: Look for straight lines, level floors, and properly aligned walls
– Seamless finishes: Check for gaps between walls and ceilings, poorly fitted trim, and uneven paint jobs are Solid core doors: If they feel hollow, run.
– Engineered hardwood floors: Not laminate. Just say NO to PERGO!
– Quartz countertops & full backsplashes: Cheap finishes = cut corners.
– Overall weight & feel: If everything feels plastic-y and flimsy, it probably is.
Why consider new construction? A 10-year structural warranty 🤩 That means no surprise foundation or roof issues (aka no major headaches for a decade). Plus, developers often throw in incentives that make buying even sweeter.

The one feature you can’t afford to overlook when buying a home? Community.
There’s a reason certain neighborhoods in LA are always in demand—and it’s not just about price. A strong community can increase your property value by 10-15%. 📈💰
So where does everyone want to live? Here are the top five neighborhoods on every buyer’s wish list:
1️⃣ Burbank – Blue Ribbon public schools, charming homes, and a city that feels like a small town.
2️⃣ Eagle Rock – College town with creative energy, historic charm, and amazing local spots.
3️⃣ Woodland Hills – Midcentury modern homes, suburban feel with big-city amenities (plus, bigger lot sizes!).
4️⃣ Redondo Beach – That coastal lifestyle without the Venice Beach chaos. 🌊 Plus, desirable public schools!
5️⃣ Hastings Ranch, Pasadena – Gorgeous homes, tree-lined streets, and old-school charm and their famous “Holiday Light Up” spectacle! 🎄
