I’m with you – I’m not willing to wait 5 more years to buy. Others can wait if makes them happy – owning a home makes me happy.
As a purchaser of new homes in the past, I concur that a home inspection is necessary…they may be able to point out things you wouldn’t notice on your own for YEARS, maybe after the warranty has expired!!!
Another very important point sort of hit on already, DO NOT have the builder or real estate agent recommend an inspector – they’ll recommend one who has no motivation to dig deep for defects (they want this thing to close!).
