The 9 Advantages of Buying a New-Home

Advantages for New-Home Buyers

  •   Everything is new
    Every element of the home—from the foundation to the rooftop—is brand new, clean, and in working order.
  •   Maintenance and repairs
    In the initial years of ownership, the buyer can avoid some of the maintenance and repair costs that come with resale homes.
  •   Warranty
    New homes usually come with a builder’s warranty on the structure and manufacturers’ warranties on all appliances and mechanical systems.
  •   Energy efficiency
    Heating and cooling units, water heaters, and other energy- consuming items are manufactured with the latest innovations in energy efficiency. Innovations in design and the building materials boost the energy efficiency of new homes and lower utility bills.
  •   New wiring
    Wiring for phones, electrical outlets, media, and computer access enables capacity and placement to the buyer’s specification.
  •   Individual choices
    Finishing choices reflect the buyer’s taste and enhance the enjoyment of daily life. Floor-plan selection matches the home layout to the buyer’s lifestyle and needs.
  •   No haggling over conditions and repairs
    A buyer walk-through prior to closing replaces haggling over condition and repairs. The builder notes needed repairs and touch- ups on a punch list.
  •   Flexibility
    Depending on degree of customization, siting, size, and floor plan can be matched to the buyer’s needs and wants.
  •  Relationships with lenders
    Builder may have pre arranged financing geared to the subdivision’s target market, which speeds up the application process. Large builders can negotiate attractive rates, terms, and incentives as well as roll closing costs into the price.
