9 Ways Building a New Home Provides Value

Making the decision to purchase a new home comes with many factors to consider. One of the biggest is whether you want to purchase a new construction home or resale. Here are 9 benefits of building a new home to weigh into consideration that could provide additional value: 

1. New homes have the most current, cutting edge designs. It is easy to keep up with current trends when building from the ground up. 
2. Custom and semi-custom home builders tend to offer new home warranties for additional peace of mind. First year warranties as well as structural warranties are available. 
3. Everything at the time of move-in is new. There is little to no worry about wear and tear or having to replace expensive appliances. 
4. Energy efficiency in heating, cooling and ventilation is achieved with a new home build. High performance windows and ducts will make the new home comfortable. 
5. New appliances will also help with energy efficiency and can help reduce electric bills. They are also quieter than older models and have sleek design options. 
6. The colors of the home and many aspects of the interior will be customized to fit your personal style and desires as a homeowner. 
7. Since new homes come with a warranty, the first year of maintenance and repairs will likely require little to no work on your end. 
8. Building codes address safety, environmental protection, cost efficiency and investment value. You can be sure that a new construction home will be completed to current industry standards. 
9. The builder can guide you along the design process and help make your dream home become a reality. 

Along with all of these benefits, building a new home is typically a profitable investment. New construction appreciates faster than a resale property and you are walking in with equity.
