Finding the right lender, choosing a qualified inspector, winning in multiple bidding situations, negotiating repairs, and managing all of the paperwork, deadlines, etc. are just a few of the challenges you may face when you go to buy a new home...and that's assuming you can even FIND a home in this market!

Advantages of New Construction

YOUR CHOICE OF FEATURES

A key advantage of new homes is that you get to choose features and finishing touches before your home is built, selecting your favorite colors, styles, appliances, and materials in many important product categories.

CUSTOMIZED FLOORPLANS

Buying a new home means that you can choose the floor plan that meets your needs — no need for expensive, stressful remodeling jobs later on — and you can often customize the layout or features to further personalize the space.

ENERGY EFFICIENT 

New homes are built in accordance with the latest building codes and regulations, often including new technologies and energy efficiencies, which result in lower utility bills and saving more money over time.

WARRANTIES / LOW MAINTENANCE

New homes typically don’t require the maintenance, repair, and upgrades a pre-owned home might need. New homes also offer peace of mind since all nearly everything is covered by a warranty. Most builders offer warranties on their homes, often one or two years on systems and materials and ten years for the structure.

THE COMMUNITY IS NEWER 

Being in a new community with your new construction home means that the parks, roads, and sidewalks will be newer (hint: less potholes, new playground equipment, etc.). Many developers build pools, tennis courts, walking trails, playgrounds, and community clubhouses. Plus, everyone in the development is new too!
