This week on Real Estate Today, we answer one of today's biggest homebuying questions: Is now the right time to buy new construction? From builder incentives to inspections, we break down what buyers need to know before signing on the dotted line.

Discover the advantages and disadvantages of buying a newly built home versus an existing one, whether every new-construction home should be inspected, the smartest upgrades to invest in, and which room is worth splurging on. Plus, learn why working with a REALTOR® can make all the difference when buying directly from a builder and how to navigate the new-construction process with confidence.

Guests include Christina Rordam, REALTOR® with Florida Realty Investments, and Selma Hepp, chief economist at Cotality.
