Advantages of Building a New Home
When purchasing a new home, your choices are limited only by available building sites and your imagination. New homes reflect the latest design trends. In addition, you are able to work with your builder to design the perfect home for you and your family.
Quality and Value
The quality of the builder you have chosen can have a definite effect on the quality of your home. However, the price usually reflects amenities and size of quality. Most reputable builders use the same quality construction in their less expensive homes as in their more expensive homes.
Energy Efficiency
New homes are designed with efficiency in mind. Many use 2x6 or 2x8 wall construction instead of 2x4 insulated wall construction. Other factors that influence energy conservation are: energy truss rafters, insulated basements, high efficiency furnaces, steel exterior efficient doors, double or triple pane windows or low E (emissivity) glass, in floor heat, and air exchangers.
Low Maintenance
During the first few years your home will be relatively maintenance free.
Investment
Because of decreased operating cost and greater potential price appreciation, a new home is considered to be your best investment.
Warranty
Most new homes are warrantied for a period of time by your builder. Ask your builder about the type of warranty available.
