Why Buy a New Home?

Find out some of the countless advantages of buying a new construction home versus a previously owned home.

1. You can build a new home to your own personal specifications by choosing the home site, floor plan, options and other features you want to include, such as flooring, cabinets, hardware, lighting, appliances, etc.
2. A new home has a superior warranty that covers the structure and many electrical, plumbing and HVAC components.
3. A new home includes new technology and superior energy-efficient components, including modern appliances, heating and air units, insulation and building materials.
4. Because building codes are always improving, a new home is built to the highest standards.
5. New composite products – such as siding and trim -- used in construction require less maintenance.
6. Hard-wired smoke detectors now used in new homes increase fire safety.
7. Fewer repairs are needed in a home without years of wear and tear.
8. Financing through a new home builder is more attractive because relationships with preferred lenders allow numerous mortgage options and substantial savings on closing costs.
9. There’s peace of mind knowing that a home inspector has “signed off” on your new home; the home comes with no prior history; a previous owner isn’t going to have a key to your home; and you can be assured that no pets have soiled your carpet!
10. Many new home communities have a Home Owners Association to protect the integrity of the neighborhood which helps maintain the value of your new home.
