When searching for your home, you may be weighing the pros and cons of purchasing resale versus a brand new one. While we understand that some older homes can come with added character and charm, there is a great deal of efficiency and many benefits of going with new home construction. Here are some of the most compelling reasons to buy new:
- Make it yours. When working with a builder to finish your dream home, you select the options and finishes that reflect your personal style. If a gourmet kitchen or spa master bath are priorities, you can allocate your budget to those spaces. You aren’t stuck with whatever was selected by a homeowner several years – or decades – ago.
- Updated floorplans. Modern homes are designed with modern lifestyles in mind. Open concept floorplans, large, eat-in kitchens, outdoor spaces, and home offices are often incorporated into new homes, while unused rooms and spaces are phased out.
- Avoid costly repairs and renovations. New homes do not typically need any major repairs for at least 7 years. Additionally, a brand new home that you (or a design team) have customized will not need any major renovations prior to moving in.
- Keep monthly expenditures down. With the use of energy-efficient materials and better insulation, new homes typically result in cheaper utility bills each month.Homeowners insurance should also be less expensive, since a new house is up to current building standards.
- Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with warranties. Home buyers, especially first-time home buyers, can relax knowing that their home is covered if something goes wrong. Check out Our Warranty!
- Resell-ability is high. At some point, you may be ready for an upgrade or even to downsize. The features of your new home will be much more attractive to buyers and make it that much easier to sell once you are ready.
