New Construction

With new construction popping up all over our area, buyers are often faced with the choice of buying a new or pre-existing home. Here’s what we’re lovin’ about each:

New Homes: Customization! Dreaming about that walk-in closet, finished basement, or upgraded fixture? Many builders will allow the buyer to personalize their new home. Plus, you’re unlikely to have to repair anything in the near future. Warranties from the builder, all new appliances, and pristine condition can all provide buyers peace of mind. Bonus points? New homes are often way more energy efficient. Helllooo lowered utility bills!

Pre-Existing Homes: Speed! Price! Potential! You won’t have to wait for the builder to complete your home like you would with new construction, and you’re likely to pay a bit less overall (though its hard to compare). If you’re handy and in the mood for a project, you can buy a fixer-upper on the cheap! Bonus points? Pre-existing homes also tend to be located in better locations on bigger lots…plus they typically offer a bit more character and charm!
