Top 5 Reasons why New(er) Homes are Better | New Home Features + Benefits of Buying New Construction
By “Newer” I mean NO OLDER than 2016. There is quite a bit of difference between newer and older homes. Not only are codes constantly changing, but interiors and exteriors of new homes have much more to offer.
#5 - MODERN STYLES + LESS BORING!
-Lighter, brighter colors on interiors making spaces feel more open
-Lots of windows
-Contrasting colors and modern designs - such as different colored islands, patterned tile accents, contrasting colors and textures in bathrooms and laundry rooms
-Larger modern fixtures that make a statement such as black, gold
-More square footage on one story - two stories are a thing of the past.
-Mixed materials on the exteriors such as stone, siding, brick, metal roofs, + wood accents
-Outdoor spaces such as front and rear porches, many times with fireplaces and wood accents
#4 - BETTER FLOOR PLANS
-Large open living rooms with high ceilings, many times flow into kitchen + dining
-Less wasted space (ie. bedrooms plus flex or office, bonus room for play or media
-No more formal living and dining rooms!
-Functional areas like mudrooms, larger laundry rooms, much more storage + closet space, larger walk in pantries.
-Bedrooms split away, private master suite with access to laundry room + garage
#3 - BETTER STANDARD FEATURES
-Granite, stainless steel appliances, tankless hot water heaters, upgraded cabinets, kitchen islands, walk in closets
-Architectural details.
-Sprinkler systems, gutters, landscaping, lighting, aerobic septics
#2 - BETTER CONSTRUCTION
-Building codes are updated regularly and everything from structural, framing, foundation, electrical & plumbing is required to be up to the newest, highest standards.
-Highly energy efficient: foam insulation, EE appliances, double or triple pane windows
-Smart home features, AC, security, appliances, garage doors, pools can be accessed remotely
-Safety features such as GFCI
#1 - LESS MAINTENANCE = LOWER COST
Although you may pay a premium for new construction homes as far as price per square foot, maintenance costs are MUCH lower.
-Builders provide warranties to cover structure, electrical, plumbing and more
-Typically if anything does glitch, it is covered and techs will service for no charge.
-Due to energy efficient features, utility bills are lower!
Instead of pouring money into upgrades and repairs, you can pour money into fun stuff like outdoor living, additions, and decor!
