New construction can be more expensive but its new and you can make it yours. Currently according to Forbes, 34% of houses for sale are new construction. So with new construction taking up a third of the housing options, what are the advantages of buying new construction? Let us tell you.
1. Modern and customizable floor plans
You’ll probably work with a contractor, and you can customize the floor plan to suit your preferences and the needs of your family.
2. Personalized finishes
It’s possible to enhance the finishes and include your own touches before the construction is finished.
3. Energy efficiency
You can use cost-effective, energy-saving smart home appliances and systems. Additionally, adding less expensive insulation and windows could help the house become warmer or cooler. And you wont have to worry about old units being on the verge of breaking.
4. Smart and healthy
Your internet, cable, speakers, and alarm systems might all be automated with the use of smart technology. Additionally, newly constructed homes frequently utilize low- and zero-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints and building materials, which may enhance the quality of the air.
5. Lower maintenance
Since everything in a newly built home is brand new, from the HVAC to the roofing, they frequently require less maintenance and aren’t likely to quit on you any time soon.
6. Builder warranties
There are warranties available for all components of newly built homes that can protect them from major repairs for years. Reducing your worry about older units a non-new construction home may have breaking down and costing thousands of dollars.
7. New home communities
A new lifestyle starts when you purchase a new house. Amenities like lakes, parks, and pools are common in many well-planned communities.
8. Caters to buyers who value flexibility
If you choose to purchase a home that is still being built or under construction, you may have less competition. If you are not in a rush to move in right away, it may allow you plenty of time to buy specific items, such as appliances and furniture.
