GLO’s New Build Real Estate Contract Consultations

Are you considering purchasing a new build home? Contracts for new build homes are often very different from the standard Colorado Real Estate Commission (CREC) forms used in resale transactions. Instead, these contracts are typically prepared by the builder’s attorney and are drafted to favor the builder, not the buyer.

Why You Need Legal Review for New Build Contracts

Unlike standard from contracts that are approved by CREC that licensed agents can use is hoke re-sale transactions, new build purchase contracts are builder-drafted agreements often include terms that:

  • Shift risks and liabilities to the buyer.

  • Limit the builder’s responsibilities for delays, defects, or changes.

  • Include provisions that may be difficult to enforce or leave the buyer with fewer remedies if issues arise.

New home buyers should:

  1. Have an attorney review the contract before signing to identify potential pitfalls and areas of concern.

  2. Request a review clause in the contract, giving them a specified number of days to consult with legal counsel before the agreement becomes binding.
