People often think long and hard about whether to buy an existing home or build a new one. While there are certainly pros to buying, building offers unique opportunities and benefits that many people don’t consider. Here are the top four benefits of building a new home.

1. Less Maintenance Stress:

  There are fewer stresses regarding home maintenance associated with building a new home. When everything is new, you can rest assured that everything is in top working condition. Everything in the home is a quality product built to last and be worry free.

 2. Save Money:

  New homes are more energy efficient because they are designed to be that way. Each of our new homes is given a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index Score, which tells you how efficient the home is and how much you save annually. This index score accounts for a home’s energy consumption of heating, cooling, water heating, lighting and some appliances. These savings are substantial in the long run, saving people up to 40% on monthly energy bills compared to existing homes, and may be worth the initial investment in building a new home. We also offer solar panels for our homes, which can further save you money on your energy bills.

3. Healthier Living:

  People don’t often think about the health benefits of where they are living, but when you’re the first people to live in your home, that means there isn't any preexisting dust and aren’t lingering germs from past owners. State of the art fixtures and appliances also reduce the risk of lead or corrosion throughout your home, and electric and plumbing will be at their most efficient and compliant. You can also custom build your house to your health needs whether that be ADA requirements or other disability-specific amenities.

4. Custom-Built to Your Needs and Aesthetic:

   When building a new home, everything is customized to your needs, whether that means ADA compliance or aesthetic choices that reflect your singular style. Everything from flooring to countertops to drawer handles are selected by you, making for a unique living experience catered toward whatever your heart desires. You also have the ability to customize your home to your size needs, whether you’re living with five kids or empty nesting. Though it’s certainly worth considering both options when it comes to investing in a home, the unique benefits of building a new home may outweigh the uncertainty associated with buying an existing one.
