Why Buy a New Home
22 REASONS
1. Favorable Pricing. Competition among homebuilders makes new
homes less likely to be overpriced. New homes are easy to compare with
other new homes in the market equating value to value. The homes are the
same age and options are declared up front with a price breakdown for
comparative shopping.
2. Simplified Financing. Securing financing is the major obstacle
to home ownership. Most homebuilders have done the legwork for you. They
have researched the market and negotiated the best rates for their
specific type of housing. Many homebuilders now include closing costs in
the price of their homes.
3. New Home Warranties. New home buyers are assured of at least a
one-year warranty on the home itself, and most likely five years on
major appliances. Many of today's homebuilders extend structural
warranties to a full ten years, underwritten by insurance companies.
4. Modern Appliances. Appliance manufacturers introduce new
models every year and homebuilders are able to offer the latest
state-of-the-art equipment at the time of completing a new home. And,
because the homebuilder buys for his entire production of new homes, his
purchasing power can reduce the cost to the buyer.
5. Home Site Selection. Location, location, location. Being able
to select just the right Home Site is almost as important as choosing
the proper home to fit the buyer's lifestyle. Developers and
homebuilders offer a wide selection of sites, including golf course
locations, views, ponds, greenbelts, waterfront, rural acreage,
topography, environmental guidelines, curvilinear streets, and more.
6. Floor Plan Options. Builders of new homes offer a wide variety
of functional floor plans to fit your lifestyle. If it's not an
inventory home, homebuilders also offer the opportunity to either
eliminate or add rooms, upgrade materials, include special architecture,
and generally customize the home.
7. Latest Materials. Low maintenance is one of the most important
features of the new homes being built today. New technology in building
materials has made the homes of the 2000's virtually maintenance free,
especially on the exterior. No longer does a homeowner have to worry
about painting every 3-5 years.
8. Choice of Finishing. With a new home, it's possible for the
buyer to be the decorator before moving in. Choices of carpet,
wall-coverings, paint color, lighting fixtures, window treatments, etc.,
enables the new home owners to live with their personal selections and
not be restricted by the taste of previous owners.
9. Energy Efficiency. A new home built today is required by law
to meet stricter energy codes than homes built in the past when past
codes didn't exist or were much more lenient. Many homebuilders use
materials that are designed to exceed the strict limits to produce
future savings for the owner.
10. Lower Maintenance. It is given that all manufactured products
have an expected lifespan. Daily use, weather and quality of care all
play a role in longevity. Buying a new home eases the nagging question
of "How long before it breaks down?" With a new home, the answer is
simple - a substantially longer period.
11. Compatible Neighbors. In most new communities, buyers will be
moving in with neighbors in generally similar circumstances. Often with
pre-owned homes in established neighborhoods, the home buyers may find
themselves in a difficult position as the new kids on the block, unable
to quickly fit into social situations.
12. Value Appreciation. Statistics say that the typical home will
need remodeling after a life expectancy of 25-30 years. Since new homes
have an assured longer life, appraisals will be generally higher than on
comparable existing homes, making conditions more favorable for future
retail at appreciated prices (enhanced appreciation).
13. Your New Home Can Be Everything You've Dreamed Of. There is
no need to settle for someone else's dream when you buy a new home. The
pattern in the ceramic bath tiles, the wood floor in the kitchen, the
arched windows - all of the special touches that lend charm and
distinction to a home will be uniquely yours to enjoy for many years to
come. There's no place like a new home.
14. You Won't Have to Update or Redesign. The nicest thing about
signing the mortgage papers for a new home is that you know you won't be
shopping for a remodeling loan a few years later. Everything you want
can be built-in from the beginning, and there are no old appliances to
modernize or dated carpet colors to eliminate. You have the best and the
latest in style and quality and the beauty of everything being brand
new.
15. New Homes Must Meet Higher Code and Inspection. The more our
society learns about such things as fire prevention and earthquake
damage, the stronger and stricter we make our inspection requirements
and building codes. The wiring, the foundation, the materials in a new
home, are all the result of the latest technology, legislation, and city
codes that put teeth into the expression "the safety of your own home."
16. Take Advantage of Maximum Appreciation Potential. Homes
appreciate with time. But a new home, located in a desirable
neighborhood, increases even more and will have greater resale appeal if
you should sell in five or six years. And everything you add to it, from
the room you finish yourself to the deck and landscaping you plan to do
next year, increases your equity and the value of your investment.
17. A New Home Has No Skeletons in the Closets. Is there asbestos
hidden in the ceiling? Will that strange odor go away with a good
cleaning, or is it locked into some permanent or expensive fixture? How
well was the home built in the first place? These are all questions you
can put to rest when you buy a new home from New Homes Colorado Springs.
18. Financing a New Home is Easier. Lenders prefer to finance new
homes by reputable builders. They know that a well-built new home is a
better risk than an older home. Also, new homes offer energy
efficiencies that can mean lower interest rates, the mortgage customer
is less likely to encounter costly repairs that could interfere later
with the ability to make the mortgage payment, and or cause the property
to be neglected.
19. Your Neighborhood is Well Planned and Desirable. Builders
know that a key factor in selling homes is to build them in
well-planned, desirable neighborhoods. This is done by carefully
selecting home sites in established neighborhoods or by planning and
developing new communities. There's one other option, you are welcome to
find the home site you want in the neighborhood you want.
20. Your New Home Comes with a Warranty. A new home comes with
something no older home can give you. The builder's warranty, which is
your guarantee that you are getting what you paid for and that your
builder stands behind his product. Also, your new appliances, carpets,
and mechanical equipment will be backed by warranties.
21. You Benefit From the Latest Technology. As with everything
else in our space age society, new and better ways of constructing homes
are always being generated. Today's new home offers the latest in energy
efficiency and savings, the latest product technology in everything from
your heating system to your built-in vacuum system, and the most current
health and safety codes.
22. The Choices are Yours. When you buy a new home, you have the
rare opportunity to customize your home to your personal tastes. You
don't have to make do. From the beginning, you can work with your
builder to personalize your floor plan, colors, textures and designs.
