6 Reasons A New Home Is Better Than A Resale Home

Trying to decide between buying a new home or a resale home? Check out these six reasons new homes are better:

1. Fewer Maintenance Headaches
New homes shouldn't need anything replaced or repaired for years to come, while existing homes come with years of wear and tear.

2. You Get The Style You Want
You select the finishes and fixtures for your new home. When you buy an existing home, you’re stuck with the prior owners choices. Replacing carpet, floors, lighting, fixtures and paint can drain your pocketbook.

3. Cheaper To Operate
Newer homes are usually built with more energy-efficient mechanics and appliances. That keeps your utility bills low.

4. The Warranty Is Better
Most builders offer a warranty covering repair or replacement of certain elements of the new home for up to 10 years. You may be offered a home warranty on an existing home, but it’s likely only for one year.

5. New Homes Are Safer
New homes include safety features that may not have been in place during years past like hard-wired smoke detectors or sprinkler systems. Many new homes are also wired for security systems.

6. Better Space
The typical new home has more space than existing homes. You’re also more likely to find modern layouts like open kitchens and first-floor owners suites in a new home.
