New Construction Opportunities
Austin-area homebuilders may offer incentives that affect the total cost of purchasing a home. But the biggest advertised discount isn't always the best deal.
At Pura Vida Realty Group, we help you understand available offers, compare the details, and make informed decisions.
Explore builder-sponsored financing programs that may reduce your rate or monthly payment.
Understand potential builder contributions toward eligible closing expenses.
Discover completed or nearly completed homes that may offer pricing or timing advantages.
Compare available discounts, financing offers, and community-specific promotions.
Evaluate upgrade packages, design credits, and included features.
“The advertised price is only part of the equation.”
We help buyers look beyond advertised promotions to compare financing terms, builder contributions, included features, and the overall value of competing new homes.

Offers vary by builder, community, property, lender, and buyer qualifications. All incentives are subject to change.
Homebuilding Perspective
From framing and phases to the final walkthrough.
Builder Experience. Buyer Representation. Better Decisions.
Experience Makes a Difference
Buying a new construction home is different from buying an existing property.
Builder contracts, pricing strategies, construction timelines, financing incentives, upgrades, inspections, and warranty procedures all require careful consideration.
Our perspective comes from firsthand experience in homebuilding, builder sales, and residential real estate — so we help you understand how the process works and what questions to ask before making major decisions.
Evaluate multiple builders, neighborhoods, and floor plans.
Understand promotions, financing terms, and potential tradeoffs.
Evaluate available inventory, pricing structures, and negotiation opportunities.
Understand key deadlines, contingencies, and important questions to discuss with qualified professionals.
Navigate the stages of building a new home with greater confidence.
Understand inspection opportunities, construction milestones, and final walkthrough considerations.
Explore Greater Austin
From established Austin neighborhoods to growing master-planned communities, Greater Austin offers a wide variety of new construction opportunities.
Each area below attracts different types of housing and comes with its own trade-offs. Here's what to look at before you tour, and the questions worth raising with a builder or your agent.
Browse new construction homes, communities, floor plans, and availability across Greater Austin on our live home search.
01
A broad, established part of the metro where new construction usually shows up as infill lots, small enclaves, and larger communities the further out you go. Housing spans townhomes through traditional single-family homes.
Worth asking: how central you want to be versus how much lot and square footage you need, and whether the surrounding area is already built out.
Opens our dedicated new home search · New tab
02
Northwest suburbs where new-home communities are common, ranging from large master-planned neighborhoods to smaller builder sections and townhome options.
Worth asking: how tax rates and utility providers compare, how the commute measures, and whether the community is still building out.
03
A historic town square and surrounding established neighborhoods in Georgetown, paired with newer development on the metro's northern edge. Housing leans toward single-family homes on varied lot sizes.
Worth asking: how much land you want, how the drive into Austin compares, and which community amenities are already built versus planned.
04
Two long-established suburban cities northeast of Austin that keep adding new neighborhoods, with a broad range of single-family floor plans and price points plus some established communities still releasing phases.
Worth asking: which phase a home sits in, what's still planned on adjacent land, and how resale values in that neighborhood have trended.
05
South of the Colorado River, options run from infill lots in established central neighborhoods to newer communities further out, with a wide spread in lot size, home style, and price.
Worth asking: whether you'd rather customize a new build or update an existing home, and how tree cover, lot size, and commute vary block to block.
Tell us your budget, preferred location, and ideal timeline. We'll help you narrow down the new construction opportunities worth exploring.

Meet Your New Construction Advisor
The Builder-Side Experience Behind Pura Vida Realty Group.
Most agents know how to sell a home. Kris Sutton also knows the business of building them.
As a Texas Real Estate Broker, former VP of Sales for a national homebuilder, and a homebuilder and developer himself, Kris has worked both sides of the transaction — including managing and selling more than 2,000 homes across Greater Austin.
That means he can walk into a sales office and read the situation clearly: the pricing, the incentive structure, the timeline, and what's really included. Today he leads Pura Vida Realty Group with one goal — helping Austin-area buyers feel confident about what they're signing.
“I help buyers understand what builders are offering, what the fine print means, and how to evaluate their options before making a commitment.”
“You deserve more than someone who can unlock a model home. You deserve someone who understands what happens behind the scenes.”
