You might be surprised what’s possible. In this video, I walk through LGI Homes and how their new-construction homes in Northern Colorado can qualify for USDA home loan programs, which may allow 0% down financing for eligible buyers. That means no down payment, affordable monthly payments, and the opportunity to own a brand-new home in a growing small-town community. We cover: What USDA loans are (and who they’re for). Why Severance qualifies for USDA financing.

Energy-Efficient New Homes in Northern Colorado Every builder in Northern Colorado says their homes are "energy-efficient." But that can mean a third-party certified home that uses about half the energy of a standard house, or just LED bulbs and a smart thermostat. In this video, I explain the HERS score, the one number that lets you compare energy efficiency across builders and floor plans, and decode the certifications you'll see on the brochure. What this video covers: What a HERS score is, and how a certified rater tests a home. Why lower is better: 100 vs. 50 vs. 0 (net zero). ENERGY STAR Certified Homes vs. ENERGY STAR appliances. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yyHw3wfS6lk 208 2026-10-27T19:49:00-07:00 https://noconewbuilds.com/blog/quick-move-in-vs-to-be-built https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rDqh5KEUy64/sddefault.jpg Move-In Ready vs. To-Be-Built: Which Saves More? Buy a move-in ready home, or build from scratch? In Northern Colorado new construction, the same $550,000 home can cost about $35,000 more to build, once you add up the incentives, the rent while you wait, and the rate risk. In this video, I run the numbers on the same home both ways, then cover the reasons building can still be worth it. What this video covers: Move-in ready (quick move-in / spec) vs. to-be-built homes. Why builders put their biggest incentives on finished homes. The cost of waiting 6–12 months: rent, a second mortgage and rate risk. Extended rate locks on a new build. https://www.youtube.com/embed/rDqh5KEUy64 210 2026-10-28T21:08:01-07:00 https://noconewbuilds.com/builder-reviews https://i.ytimg.com/vi/seJECz7fqsI/maxresdefault.jpg Why We Created Buyer Reviews Buying a new construction home is one of the biggest financial decisions most people make.

Before you fall in love with the house, there are a few big-picture items buyers need to understand that don’t always show up in the listing. In this video, I break down what buyers should consider before purchasing in a community — especially new builds and planned neighborhoods across Northern Colorado. We cover things like: HOA rules and restrictions (and what actually matters). Metro districts and how they affect your taxes. Community amenities vs. monthly costs. Builder incentives (and what they don’t tell you). https://www.youtube.com/embed/1LnHmLvy7NA 329 2026-01-11T14:23:14-08:00 https://noconewbuilds.com/videos/builder-preferred-lender-incentive https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PSp_1VOSdWM/sddefault.jpg Builder's Preferred Lender Incentive: Is It Actually a Better Deal? "Use our preferred lender and we'll give you $15,000." Almost every Northern Colorado new construction community offers some version of this. Is it actually a better deal? In this video, I run a real example: a $500,000 home with a $450,000 loan, comparing a builder's lender at 7.5% with a $15,000 credit against an outside lender at 7.25% with no credit. Then I cover where these offers go wrong, and the one real advantage builder lenders often have. What this video covers: How builder preferred lender incentives work, and that you're not required to use the builder's lender. https://www.youtube.com/embed/PSp_1VOSdWM 215 2026-10-28T11:54:06-07:00 https://noconewbuilds.com/videos/new-build-real-cost-northern-colorado https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CnjAc4AwRe8/sddefault.jpg What Does a New Build Really Cost in Northern Colorado?

In this video, Mark Leavitt builds one example Northern Colorado home from a $550,000 base price to about $658,000 by adding a lot premium, structural options, design center upgrades, window coverings, backyard landscaping, a fence, appliances and closing costs. He also covers the two costs that never show up in the price at all, metro district taxes and HOA dues, and the three things to get from any builder in writing before you sign. https://www.youtube.com/embed/CnjAc4AwRe8 249 2026-10-24T21:47:45-07:00
