Mountain Falls buyer guide · Before an offer

Verify the details for the exact address.

A neighborhood can feel right while two homes inside it have very different documents, improvements, costs, and risks. Use this checklist to investigate the property—not just the listing.

Check property-specific details before relying on a listing.

01

Home & location

Confirm the parcel, recorded lot size, subdivision, association(s), golf-course position, easements, drainage, and planned nearby improvements.

02

Utilities

Verify water, sewer, electric, waste service, connection status, equipment, and fees for the exact address.

03

Association documents

Review current governing documents, assessments, fees, rules, financial information, and resale or offering disclosures before purchasing.

04

Home condition

Use qualified inspectors and specialists to evaluate the home, systems, permits, additions, and site improvements.

05

Insurance

Ask current providers about availability, coverage, and cost for the specific property before purchasing.

06

Schools & travel

Confirm current school assignments, transportation, and actual drive times from the home you are considering.

Print the worksheet that matches where you are in the buying process.

From offer to keys

Know what happens next.

Understanding each milestone helps you prepare for the decisions, documents, and deadlines ahead.

  1. 01

    Tour & compare

    Narrow the choices using the same questions for every Mountain Falls home.

  2. 02

    Write the offer

    Set price, financing, timing, and protections around the property details.

  3. 03

    Inspect & review

    Complete inspections and review disclosures, title, and association documents.

  4. 04

    Loan & appraisal

    Finalize financing, insurance, appraisal, title, and closing figures.

  5. 05

    Walk through & close

    Confirm the home's condition, sign final documents, and receive the keys.

When the documents arrive

Read past the cover page.

For a resale, the seller-completed disclosure describes known property conditions while the Mountain Falls resale package explains the association, finances, and rules attached to ownership. New construction may use a public offering statement, builder contract, warranty, and separate option documents. None replaces inspections, record review, or other buyer due diligence.

01

Costs & assessments

Confirm current dues, special assessments, transfer fees, account-opening charges, and any other expected owner costs.

02

Financial health

Review the association budget, year-to-date financial statement, reserve summary, and plans for major shared expenses.

03

Rules & property use

Read the rules for parking, rentals, pets, architectural changes, landscaping, and the improvements you may want later.

04

Claims & obligations

Look for pending litigation, unsatisfied judgments, owner balances, violations, and obligations that could affect the property.

Nevada law generally provides a five-day cancellation period for purchases in a common-interest community, but the starting event and requirements differ for an original/new-home purchase and a resale. Confirm applicability, receipt date, required notice method, and the exact deadline in your transaction with your agent or Nevada attorney.
