Top Reasons to Buy a New Construction Home
Since everything is new you do not need to spend any money on replacing/fixing anything
Your home plus appliances, windows, HVAC unit, and more come with warranties, so you do not need to spend any money on repairs
The equipment that comes with a resale home may be close to needing to be replaced which is expensive:
Flooring: could be up to $25,000 depending on what flooring you choose and how much you are replacing
Kitchen remodel: $25,000 - $75,000
The home may have maintenance, foundation or cosmetic problems that you don’t initially notice
Resale value of new homes is typically higher than used and can offer peace of mind regarding your investment.
As used homes age, they become more outdated and less desirable for resale.
New HVAC and appliances use less energy, Low E3 windows insulate your home properly.
Walls, roof, and floors are properly insulated which means you use less energy on heating and cooling your home
All of this means lower utility bills and less electricity use
Adding double-paned windows, new HVAC and appliances will improve the energy efficiency in an older home, but it is very costly
You may not be able to do some of the things that you want because the design of the home prevents you from doing so
Often built to lower energy-efficient standards
Decide on open kitchen and living room concepts that are perfect for entertaining and enjoying time with family and friends
Offer the most current and contemporary finishes and options
Changing the layout by knocking down or adding walls is expensive and can be limited as some walls may be load-bearing
Outdated plans, smaller closets, dated finishes, old appliances
