It's easy to feel torn between buying a new construction vs. existing home. Building your dream home is a dream we all share.
In the past, newly built homes have been much more expensive than existing homes - but that gap has been getting smaller recently. The higher mortgage rates and the low housing inventory play a large role in the high cost of existing homes and have pushed some borrower into the new construction homes.
If you are going to spend your top dollar on a home, you may want to have the fun in personalizing a home (your dream home) they way you want instead of having to do costly updates on an existing home.
Here are some benefits of building a new home:
*Newly constructed homes are designed to appeal to today's buyers, so you find a floor plan that fits with the way you live.
*You can personalize your home. Making it truly YOUR HOME!
*There is usually lower maintenance costs. Since the systems, appliances, roof, etc. are new.
*You will have some warranties on some parts of your home.
*In today's technology world we live in, you can create a smart home and control many features right from your phone.
