New Home Sales: The Advantages of New Construction

Owning a home isn’t so much a dream for people. It’s a rite of passage. It’s a milestone that signifies financial independence and the readiness to invest in the future. Whether you’re buying a single-family home, a townhouse, or a condominium, there are plenty of styles to choose from, but at Simien Properties, we know the most challenging aspect of purchasing a new home is often deciding between buying an existing property and investing in new construction.On the surface, the advantages of buying a new home may seem obvious. You’re getting a property no one else has ever owned. You can choose your own finishes to match your style. And, in most cases, you can customize your living space to meet your needs. But, these are the superficial advantages of purchasing a new construction property. The real advantages are not always quite as tangible, but they are just as important.

New Home Purchases Save You Money

When you purchase an existing property, you’re buying its problems too. Does the home need a new roof? Is the HVAC system old and tired? Has the flooring seen better days? The sticker price on a used home purchase may appear enticing and attractive at first glance, but when you begin to dig beneath the surface you may find that the cost to own a used home is more expensive than buying new.

New construction homes not only have brand new appliances, roofs, foundations, etc., but they also come with extensive home warranties. At Simien Properties, our after-sales programs are in place to ensure that you enjoy the benefits of owning a new home for years after you first step over the threshold.

Choose New Home Construction for Increased Energy Costs

Believe it or not, today’s homes are substantially more energy efficient than homes built even five years ago. Energy-conscious home builders know the value in going the extra mile to help their customers save money on energy costs. By offering Energy Star-rated appliances and windows as standard features and great design to improve the efficiency of your HVAC system, new construction builds are designed to keep the cost of homeownership low.

When you buy a new construction home, you are purchasing a carefree style of living that will allow you to spend more time enjoying life and less time worrying about fixing problems inherited from an existing property.
