It’s time to start your new home search!
We take pride in our website and hope you'll agree that we've built the ultimate home finder! We've designed our new home search features to make it easy for you to find your community and home in a few quick taps or clicks. But so much of a successful home search depends on your ability to do research and match your own house hunting criteria to what's available.
The home search journey!
1.
Make your wish list
From the number of bedrooms and garage bays to the size of your yard, make a list of all your must-haves and nice-to-haves and keep it on hand during your home finder journey. For a pre-made worksheet, check out our First-time Homebuyer Guide.

Get pre-qualified
Before you get too far into the search process, it helps to have your finances in order. It’s easier to narrow down your online search when you know for certain what you can afford and it’s easier to move quickly and sign a contract when you’re pre-qualified for a mortgage. As always, we recommend working with our affiliate, HomeAmerican Mortgage Corporation.*

*The Richmond American Homes companies (RAH) and HomeAmerican Mortgage Corporation (HMC) are owned, directly or indirectly, by M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. and, therefore, are affiliated companies. RAH and HMC offer services independently of each other, and if you obtain a product or service from one company, you are not required to utilize the services of, or obtain products from, the other company. Your decision to use a company that is not affiliated with RAH or HMC will not affect your ability to obtain products and services from these companies.4.
Narrow down neighborhoods
Don’t get so focused on the floor plan search that you lose sight of the location. We recommend driving through communities at different times of day to get a feel for the lifestyle of the area. Are people out jogging on trails? Is there a playground within walking distance? Does the community have a pool or a golf course? It’s these types of features and amenities that can make you fall in love with a neighborhood. If you want insider knowledge from a local expert, talk to a New Home Specialist at 888.500.7060.
