Why Build?
Resale Value
Most potential home buyers are looking first and foremost at the price tag. Building a new home can appear to be more expensive than purchasing an existing house, especially if they need to buy land as well. But considering the home as an investment, the resale value for new homes is much higher than that of existing ones, especially if the new home’s design choices aren’t here-today-gone-tomorrow trends. In order to increase the resale value of an existing house, particularly those older than 10 years, sometime, money, and skill will be involved in updates and renovations. Therefore, it may still cost you in the long run.
Customization
What attracts most home builders is the opportunity for customization. You are able to include in your new home all the elements that suit your family best. From the custom floor plan to design finishes, the home will be truly custom - a home designed just for you. Most of the time, buyers of existing homes get almost everything they want, but will have to compromise on some of their “must haves.” So you want an open floor plan and a first-floor master? Sometimes getting both is difficult in an older home. This means you’ll end up making renovations to the home anyway. Finally, keep in mind that being able to choose the square footage of the home along with the style and layout from start to finish means maximizing the use of every space in the home.
For many potential homeowners, moving into a home that has never before been lived in is enticing. Knowing all of the memories made in the home are your own brings a sense of pride and comfort.
Maintenance and Warranties
Existing homes bring baggage. Expiring warranties and general wear and tear can mean hidden costs down the road, particularly when it comes to windows and roofing. A new roof increases a home’s value, so when you build a new home, you are increasing your return on your investment by upping the resale value. Other factors like basement waterproofing and new home security systems further ensure the home will maintain its value for years to come.
Health and Efficiency
New heating and cooling systems can --quite literally--bring a breath of fresh air. Not only are they more energy efficient, but newer systems adhere to standards of health and safety that mean a healthier environment for your family.
