Why Buy a Resale Home?
For many home buyers, the draw of an existing, resale home is strong because they offer many advantages. Older homes were built very sturdy years ago, so if you are considering buying a resale home, here are some of the many advantages you will enjoy:
- Less expensive on average
- Usually close faster
- Security of living in an established neighborhood
- Home and landscaping are matured
Additionally, a resale home offers you opportunities that new construction home lacks. Once you get a home inspection completed on the home, you will know exactly what you are getting and anything that may need to be repaired or changed. You can also speak to the previous owner and get inside information that is impossible with new construction homes. Such things include heating and cooling costs, schools in the area, and the crime rate.
An important drawback of a resale home is the fact that there may be problems and repair necessities even if the home passes inspection. If something were to happen, you will not have any warranties so that full expense falls on your shoulders.
Why Buy a New Construction Home?
Some home buyers would prefer to have a home that is all their own. No one else has lived in the house, and it is all brand new. Some additional advantages that a new construction home offers include:
- Innovative use of space
- Modern energy efficiency
- Choices of options and upgrades
- Home warranty in case anything needs repaired
It is also essential to know that there are drawbacks as well to new construction homes, including the fact that some home builders and developers throw homes together much too quickly using cheaper materials. This can result in serious problems for the home buyer. You may also end up with a cookie cutter home, especially in a subdivision. Be sure to ask the home developer about their building materials and the way in which the new construction home was built.
