The Top Four Benefits of Buying a New Construction Home

When searching for a new home, many homebuyers weigh the plusses and minuses of purchasing new construction vs. a resale home. As a new homebuilder, it’s fairly obvious where Green River Builders leans on the subject. But to give you an objective point of view, we’ve done a little research and mixed in our own expertise to outline our version of the Top FourBenefits of Buying a New Construction Home.

1)     Leveraging the Latest Construction Trends and Practices

‍By buying a new construction home over a resale, you’ll likely have the opportunity to benefit from construction practices like the use of Low E windows and insulation for better energy efficiency, innovative use of space to maximize your square footage like an open concept that unites your kitchen, family and dining room for a sense of spaciousness and ease of entertaining, and modern wiring to accommodate today’s technology and conversion to a smart home.

2)     No Need to Worry About Renovations and Repairs

‍When you purchase a resale, chances are, you’ll need to invest some extra funds for any necessary repairs or renovations to create a home that serves your needs and appeals to your sense of taste. On the other side of that coin, a new construction home often comes with a one-year warranty in the unlikely event that anything goes wrong after move-in and – prior to move-in – you’ll have a chance to work with your builder’s Designer to select features and finishes that fit your design preferences.

3)     Opportunities to Customize

‍Besides working with a designer to customize the appearance of your interior, buying new construction often means you may be able to customize the layout, too. Many of today’s builders – including Green River Builders – create flex spaces within their floor plans. These spaces can serve a variety of functions or can be upgraded to serve the function that best serves your lifestyle. For instance, you may not need a study but could benefit from converting that space in the design phase to a downstairs bedroom with full bath to accommodate aging parents who have trouble tackling the stairs. Other options may include the opportunity to extend or cover your patio – a terrific feature for the family who loves to entertain outdoors.

4)     Resale Value

‍While it’s unlikely that you’ll want to think of selling your new home before you even move in, there is peace of mind in the knowledge that it’s likely to have a higher resale value than a resale home due to factors like age of the home, age of the community where it’s based, amenities, quality of the schools and more. Think about it, if you move into a 15-year-old resale and live there for 5 years, it will be 20 years old when you go to sell it again. If you buy new construction, it will only be 5 years old with one homeowner when you go to sell it.
