Buying New Construction in Whitehall-Coplay

Whitehall-Coplay is one of the fastest-growing parts of the Lehigh Valley, with new communities rising across the area. Tim Tepes has represented buyers with the region's builders for 36+ years, and these are the questions he hears, and answers, most.

Why does having my own buyers agent matter when I buy from a builder?

The builder's sales representative works for the builder, not for you, and the contract is written to protect the builder. Register Tim as your agent on your first visit to any community, at no cost to you, and he will review the contract, negotiate upgrades and incentives, and watch your interests from the initial deposit to the final walkthrough.

What should I ask a builder before signing?

Ask what is included in the base price and what is an upgrade, whether the price can escalate during construction, what the deposit is and when it is refundable, what the estimated completion date is and what happens if it slips, and what the warranty covers. Get every answer in writing, because the sales conversation and the contract can differ. Tim reviews builder contracts regularly and flags the clauses that cost buyers money.

How do I choose the right lot?

Look at the lot itself and what sits behind and beside it: sun exposure, drainage, mature trees, setbacks, and whether your windows will face the neighbor's driveway or open space. Corner and cul-de-sac lots often carry premiums that are negotiable, while walkout basements and south-facing backyards add real value in the Lehigh Valley. Tim walks every lot with buyers before they commit, because a great house on a poor lot is hard to fix later.

How should I budget for upgrades?

Upgrades are where builder budgets balloon, so set a number before the design appointment and spend it on what is hard to change later: electrical capacity, extra outlets, flooring, and kitchen and bath finishes buyers expect. Skip trendy finishes you can add later, and let Tim tell you which upgrades the next buyer will actually pay for when you sell.

How long does construction really take?

Most new homes in the Lehigh Valley run about four to eight months from contract to closing, an estimate that stretches with weather, supply, and labor. Builders rarely guarantee a date, and rate locks and rent timelines need cushion built in. Tim coordinates financing and closing around the builder's schedule so you are never stuck with two mortgages or a gap.

What does the builder warranty actually cover?

Pennsylvania new homes typically come with a one-year workmanship and materials warranty, a two-year mechanical systems warranty, and a ten-year structural warranty, though exact terms vary by builder. The one-year period is when you document cosmetic defects and settling issues for repair, your punch list. Tim helps buyers compile and submit a thorough year-one list so nothing is missed.

Should I use the builder's lender?

Builder lenders can offer meaningful incentives, often closing cost credits or rate buydowns, and they know the builder's closing process cold. The catch is that incentives usually require using their financing, so compare their quote line by line with a good independent lender before you decide. Tim can introduce you to both and help you read the full picture, not just the headline rate.

What should I watch at the pre-drywall and final walkthrough?

The pre-drywall inspection is your only chance to see the framing, plumbing, wiring, and ductwork before they disappear behind the drywall, so attend it with an independent inspector. At the final walkthrough, test every door, window, faucet, and appliance, check for debris and cracked tiles, and compare the home against your plans and upgrade order. Tim coordinates these inspections with his buyers and negotiates any fixes before closing.
