WHY BUY NEW?

Excitement of Building and Being First Resident!

There’s something about owning a home that’s brand new, never been used. Many home buyers like knowing that they’ll be the first person, or family, living in the home. Many choose to customize the home to their wants and needs and like the ability to do so.

Modern Conveniences

Many items are standard, such as built-in dishwashers, microwaves, vented hoods, etc. and features such as master suites, bedroom ceiling lights and dimmer switches.

Little Maintenance

Thanks to vast improvements in the efficiency and durability of building materials, new homes don't require as much upkeep as older homes. Newer homes tend to use more modern architecture and systems and are usually easier to maintain. People who buy new homes often don't want to worry initially about upkeep and repairs; they'd rather spend valuable weekend time with family and friends, instead of performing home repair.

Builder's Warranty

New homes will come with a complete warranty that covers everything on the house, inside and out. While warranties are available for resale homes, they're typically for one year from the purchase date and only cover specific items in the home. A new home can have a much longer warranty that will provide more options when something goes wrong. As member of the Home Builders and Remodelers of Central New York, you are assured of performance standards, backed by a written warranty.

Energy Efficient

New homes offer an array of options for greater efficiency and comfort. The materials used are far more effective at reducing energy costs. New appliances use less energy. Walls, ceilings and floors are insulated. Dual pane windows retain more heat in winter and keep the home cooler in summer.

Built to Newer Codes and Standards

A new home is subject to the current building codes that require stringent safety requirements regarding materials and internal systems. Consumer safety issues are continually addressed in new construction and conform to building codes.

Ability to Personalize Your Home

A new house can truly reflect your tastes and lifestyle…you can pick your own color schemes, flooring, kitchen cabinets, appliances, , etc., as well as have more upgrade options such as media rooms, closet size and bathrooms amenities and bonus rooms. There is no substitute for living in a home that mirrors your preferences in color, fixtures, floor coverings, and finishing touches.

Updated Floor Plans

Today's homes emphasize flexible space and flexible usage, which let the homeowners tailor the living area to their evolving needs. They want the rooms where they spend precious family time to be open and connected and large enough for every family member to participate in the activity of the moment. Larger kitchens with state-of-the-art equipment and custom items, family rooms with built-in multi-media options, closets equipped with built-in storage systems, and outdoor rooms are all possibilities.

Community

For those looking for a new home in a planned development, you may enjoy a community with active adults, families with young children or golf and tennis enthusiasts. Being a member of your neighborhood provides exciting opportunities for involvement and a chance to experience community growth with those around you.
