Buying a Newly Built Home vs. Buying an Existing Home

There are many benefits to buying a newly built home. For one, the builder will use the latest designs which will give your home a very modern feel, without having to do the work yourself. New homes also have great warranties, with most repairs being covered for the first year or so you own the home. That warranty will make your life much easier, especially with the stress of moving still looming over your head. Another advantage to buying a new home is that builders often have deals in place with mortgage professionals to create special financing packages for you.

Conversely, previously-owned homes have great advantages, too. These homes have their own unique character that is difficult to replicate. In addition, older homes are typically found in more mature neighborhoods, with wonderful landscapes, large trees, and common areas to enjoy. We also typically see previously-owned homes offer more features, at the same if not less price per sq. ft. than new construction.
