Thinking about purchasing a new home in the future but can’t decide between building a new home or purchasing an existing one? Depending on your budget and needs, both are suitable options. That being said, building a new home customized to your unique preference offers a lot more value than purchasing a previously lived-in home. Keep reading for ten ways building a new home provides homeowners with more bang for their buck.
1. Improved Energy Efficiency
New homes have the advantage of being much more energy-efficient than homes built just five years ago. They’re often built with better performing building materials, windows, HVAC systems, and appliances. Each feature works in harmony to reduce the energy your home produces, which saves money in the long run.
2. Customized to Fit Your Style
Your new home is designed to suit your style and preferences. From floor coverings to cabinetry, each element is handpicked by you, for you. What’s better than that?
3. Built to Suit Your Unique Needs
Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of building a new home is the ability to choose or design a floor plan that is best suited to your family’s needs. Love hosting friends and families? Include a deluxe kitchen and guest suite in your home’s design. Looking to accommodate a growing family? Add flex spaces like a home office, which can easily be converted to an extra bedroom. The flexibility to create a design that reflects your needs both now and in the future offers peace of mind as your needs change.
4. More Comfortable to Live In
New homes today are built to meet higher energy standards than in the past. This includes better ventilation and air filtration, which not only improves indoor air quality but also keeps your home free of drafts.
5. Low Maintenance
Today’s homes are built with the latest and greatest in building products. Not only do they help your home run more efficiently, but they’re designed to go last longer before requiring routine maintenance.
6. Integrated with Smart Technology
As technology advances, so does home design. More and more builders are incorporating smart technology into new homes. From high-tech appliances to heating and cooling to lighting, smart technology makes it much easier to manage your home.
7. Built to Current Industry Standards
A new home offers the benefit of being built to the latest safety and building codes. This often includes the newest building materials, electrical codes, and plumbing codes. Not having to worry about faulty wiring or rusted pipes is a huge advantage for homeowners.
8. Community Amenities
Many new homes are built in pre-planned communities, which offer residents exclusive amenities. Depending on the area, amenities can include a community clubhouse, pool, park, and hiking/biking trails. Some of the more luxurious communities even offer exclusive access to golf courses and marinas.
9. Better Warranties
New homes come with great warranties. From building materials to appliances to finishes, you can rest assured you’re covered if any unexpected issues arise.
10. Peace of Mind
There’s a certain peace of mind that comes with being the first to live in a home. In addition to being customized to your style and needs, you don’t have to worry about dated finishes, making repairs, or upgrading appliances. Your new home is exactly as you always envisioned.
