In the process of buying a home, the biggest decision is whether to buy a newly built home or a resale home. There are major differences to consider. We hope this blog gives you all the information you need to make an informed decision.
It’s not possible to handpick your neighbors, however, when purchasing a newly built house you have the opportunity to pick the exact community and style. As many of your potential neighbors were drawn to the same area based on their needs, they are likely to be similar to you. Families with young children often prefer areas close to fine schools and shopping centers. Active elderly usually gravitate towards communities featuring amenities like golf courses and walking trails. With resale homes, however, you don’t have much of a choice as availability determines your options.
You are limited to what is available for sale when you purchase a resale. When everything depends on what’s available in your favorite neighborhoods, you may not be able to buy that corner lot with a cul-de-sac. When looking at newly built, you can select the actual lot within the community you choose to live in. Are you looking for a quieter location or close to a community park?
You can choose from a wide range of standard appliances, electrical fixtures, and lighting fixtures when buying a new home. These will all be brand new and up-to-date. In this way, you won’t have to worry about repairing old appliances that come with resale homes.
The old saying goes that homes have a story to tell. Therefore, if you believe in this saying, you will want your family to grow up in your newly built home. If you choose to purchase a resale, you may discover that the house was not well taken care of. Buying new gives you a fresh start and a whole new set of memories.
