When it comes to your home, the details matter and we understand how important it is to live in a home that meets your expectations. One of the biggest perks that comes with building a new home is the quality construction, design and styling of the home with unique elements that give it a personal touch. New construction homes offer more benefits than ever before, making them a strong contender in any home search. You may find that buying a new home with fresh carpet, craftsmanship focus, and energy efficient features outweighs the fixer upper with shag green carpet, DIY plumbing, and cabinets hanging on by it’s last hinge. We are here to break down the benefits of buying new vs used for your next home.
If there is one theme we found when speaking with our new homeowner clients; it’s that for every two word problem, Visionary Homes offers a two word solution. Below are the top eight reasons for buying a new home versus a used home.
One of the biggest perks of moving into a NEW home is that everything in the home is freshly installed, brand new from the manufacturer. You won’t have to worry about replacing dated green shag carpets or getting the carpets cleaned to remove the remnants of the 4 dogs, 6 kids and 3 cats that lived on them before you. You will have the opportunity to see, touch, and choose which carpets are installed into your new home before it’s built during the design phase or simply move into a home with tasteful new carpets selected for you.
Don’t get stuck snaking drains that have more hair than Rapunzel in them when purchasing a used home! Opt for a brand new home with fresh, hairless drains that will allow you to take showers with ease instead of leaving you with clogged drains and a mile of hair.
When it comes to pipes and plumbing you want an expert to do the job, be cautious of any history of DIY work done around the house as it may not always be up to code. Moving into a new construction home will give you peace of mind knowing the build was done by professionals who are held to specific regulations and standards.
Do you find that the floorboards or stairs creak in the used homes you are touring? Not all homes are built equal and as they naturally age they become less efficient and comfortable over time. Consider purchasing a new home built with quality construction and energy efficient upgrades. Every new home built by Visionary Homes comes equipped with the Smart Home package guaranteed to make your family and home comfortable.
Buying a new construction home gives you a clean slate, free of pet dander or potential allergens. Upon moving into your brand new home you will be welcomed with brand new carpets, freshly grouted tile, and storage compartments clean enough to eat off of. Leave your questions of cat owners, food allergens, dust mites, or bed bugs at the door when you walk into a brand new home.
Have you ever been in a home that had misaligned cabinets which failed to close all of the way or hit the refrigerator door when only 3/4 of the way open? We have seen it all too many times in DIY cabinetry or kitchen that wasn’t designed specifically to meet your needs. A professionally designed home takes floor plans, lifestyle, and layout into account prior to sending in the professionals that will bring the vision to life.
Unless it has previously been remodeled, pre-owned homes can be dark and boxy, often leading you through a maze of tiny rooms that have you seeing dollar signs for each wall you’ll want to tear down. In contrast, a new construction home is a bright and welcoming experience from the moment you walk in the front door. Often with a spacious, wide open floor plan, many new homes boast tall ceilings, choice between single or two story, plus the optional basement and outdoor patios. New construction homes are thoughtfully designed for the way people need and want to live.
No more settling for the green shag carpet, rooms covered in decades old wallpaper or pastel colored bathrooms you’ll have to change as soon as you move in. Working with a new home builder gives you the opportunity to put your touch on your home without having to lift a finger. Our curated Design Studio gives you the opportunity to handle each product, swap out textures, colors, flooring, and truly build a home that meets your lifestyle needs. From kitchen cabinets to living room light fixtures, it’s all about creating the perfect salvation for your life.
