Here’s a significant factor to consider in your home-buying decision.
In my opinion, the decision to buy a new or a resale home depends on what you’re looking for and the lifestyle you want to have.
With a resale home, you can get a home in an established neighborhood with character. You’re also going to generally get more land with these homes compared to a brand-new subdivision.
“A new home is a reflection of your style and preferences.”
With a new home, you get to live in a home you designed, and it is a reflection of you. If it’s in a new neighborhood, you can watch that place grow over the years. Another advantage is the lack of deferred maintenance. All the systems and other major items in a new home will have a builder’s and manufacturer’s warranty because they’re brand new.
At the end of the day, every situation is different. If you have any questions for me about buying, selling, or real estate in general, don’t hesitate to reach out via phone or email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
