                                      New Construction for Building a Home                                           

Why some home buyers choose to build new:  Find Lot for Sale is below.

♦ Personalization - Making choices from paint color, lighting, carpet, fixtures, cabinets,exotic flooring , treads, counter tops, wood trim, and special touches to your home is of added value.  If you know what you want and get those items from the start, you eliminate the time and money it would take to personalize a pre-owned home.

♦ Low Maintenance -  If a no to low maintenance home is what you desire, then new construction should work great.  Choosing low maintenance surfaces & items that meet the highest quality will help you have a no-low maintenance home.

♦ Floor Plan - You can get the newest floor plans so your home has everything you need.  Some lifestyles are demanding a private home office or a large media room.  When specific needs are on your wish list, building can meet your needs. 

♦ Location -  The location choice will depend on the stage of life your in.  Families with children and active retirees will have specific locations that work best for them.  You may have the land purchased already or know the location your interested in.  New construction in the right location will provide your luxury home wish list.

♦ Energy Savings -  Advances in technology make it possible for home buyers to build an energy efficient home.  Ask your builder for the different energy efficiency options and the tax breaks available.  Your home quote will most likely be quoted to meet the required codes.  Solar, geothermal, higher efficiency furnaces, insulation, windows and doors all play a part in your homes efficiency and may be considered up-grades.  There may be some tax incentives available to help with those higher up -front cost. 

♦ Market Conditions - During normal market conditions, a newer home increases in value

Safety - In a newer home, you know everything is new and built to today's building codes.

♦ Warranty - Your new home will come with a warranty for at least one year.  And most start over with brand new energy star appliances.

♦ Time to Sell Your Home -  Choosing new construction allows you 6 months to a year lead time to get your home sold. 

♦  Home Building is a very competitive market and knowing the price isn't the only thing you must consider.  A lower quote may not be the best, it's only better if you are getting the same quality and energy saving options in that quote.  Just because the builder is meeting current building codes doesn't ensure the energy savings you may think.
