New Vs. Used Home
When shopping for your next home, you are most likely looking to get the most bang for your buck. However, do you have the appropriate strategies to get the most of your investment amount?
Some people only look at the price of the home per square foot to make this comparison. There’s so much more to consider in searching for a home. There’s a bevy of reasons to strongly consider buying a new home for long-term savings and gains. This fast and easy comparison will help you maximize your investment not only when you make the initial purchase, but for many years to come.
Why buy a new home?
- New homes usually have the latest in quality and efficiency of building materials. Many old homes simply would not pass the new strict home inspection standards.
- New homes offer the most current high standard energy efficiency and design. Windows, appliances, insulation, framing, plumbing, etc. – these are just a few things that go a long way in saving homeowners money each month when utility bills are due.
- New homes are often built in newer neighborhoods with better-rated schools, parks, and local amenities. This adds value to your home and often attracts great neighbors wanting to keep up their homes and yards.
- New homes have warranties for the home and for all appliances and there are no expensive remodeling costs necessary. Old homes often need major facelifts, such as massive paint jobs, moving walls or windows for a more open concept, new carpet/flooring, updated cabinetry and hardware, tune-ups for appliances, and many other major home repairs and updates.
In addition to all the money you save with a new home, you get to enjoy personalizing your home from the very start. You are the captain of what makes your own home a dream come true.
