5 Reasons New Construction Homes are More Than Just Brand New

by Jennifer Weikel

Some buyers don’t consider new construction homes because they think that the only benefit is that no one has lived in them before.

While that’s true, and it is a great benefit for many buyers, new construction homes come with so many more benefits that make them a great choice for many buyers.

Here are 5 reasons why you should consider new construction homes when you’re house hunting:

1 - Resale value

New construction homes are desirable thanks to their design and amenities, so you’ll see a new construction home’s value strong from the time you purchase it. Additionally, its value will almost always appreciate over time, so you can rest assured that you’re making a sound investment.

2 - Minimal maintenance

Because the home is brand new, it won’t need much maintenance for the first several years. If you want to avoid dealing with repairs or fixing things up, a new construction home is a great choice!

3 - Energy efficiency

New construction homes are built with today’s standards and are designed to be energy efficient. Additionally, most homes are outfitted with eco-friendly appliances to decrease energy consumption even more. This can save you money on utilities in addition to decreasing your energy footprint.

4 - Peace of mind

Thanks to the builder’s warranty and other warranties that come with a new construction home, you can relax knowing that most issues that do pop up should be taken care of without a big out-of-pocket expense.

5 - Bidding-war-free

New construction homes have one huge advantage for today’s buyers: you don’t have to worry about losing the home to a bidding war! Instead, you can work with your agent and with the builder to design the home of your dreams. Forget making high-pressure offers or 15-minute decision turnaround times, and instead focus on getting into your perfect home.

If you haven’t checked out new construction homes yet, this is your sign to put one on your list when you’re house hunting. It could be exactly what you’re looking for!
