If you’re thinking of moving, have you considered building your own new home instead of buying a home that’s already on the market? There are a number of advantages that come with building your own home that you won’t get if you buy a pre-existing home. Take a look at our list and see!
The Advantages of Building a New Home
New Homes are More Energy Efficient
As we learn more about designing homes with energy efficiency as a priority, we continually improve on previous generations of home building. Even homes that are relatively young can’t compare to the energy efficiency levels of homes built today. Today’s homes distribute conditioned air super efficiently, and come with brand new energy efficient appliances, all of which will save you on your energy costs. Over the lifetime of the home, this adds up.
A Place You Can Really Call Home
When you build your own home, it becomes a place that you can truly call your own. No one has lived in this home, and you built it from the ground up. There’s an intangible value there that many homeowners enjoy, as it makes them feel like they can really be at home.
Warranty
With a new home, you get the builders warranty as guarantee in the quality of the craftsmanship. If you have a problem with your home’s construction, the warranty helps you rectify the situation easily.
Higher Resale Value
The newer a home, the higher its resale value when you decide to sell. Of course there are plenty of exceptions to this rule, but buyers are generally willing to pay more for the efficiencies and conveniences of modern homes.
