Below, we break down the top reasons new construction is the better choice. If you agree and are looking for a custom home builder in SE Wisconsin, make Bower Design & Construction your first call!
Benefits of New Home Construction
Built Specifically for You
When you buy an existing home, you can make it your own by investing in remodels, expansions, and general updates. It will likely never be exactly what you want, though, since the original bones still stand. And floor plan changes require hefty remodeling budgets. When you build a new home, every aspect can be tailored to your unique preferences. The floor plan, interior design, etc. is designed specifically for you.
Location, Location, Location
When you’re shopping for a new home or building your forever home, the location is important. After all, you have to consider the school systems, your commute, how close medical care and entertainment is to your home. It can be difficult to find an existing home that meets all of your needs in the area you wish to live. This is why a lot of homeowners prefer to build new. They can find the perfect piece of land in the area they want, and get to enjoy their dream home to boot.
Modern Design & Technology
Unless you are buying a brand new home from developers, the homes you’ve been seeing likely have old and outdated styling. That means you can get the house for cheap but will have to invest in updates to meet modern design demands. Building new affords you the opportunity to take advantage of modern design trends as well as include modern technology into your build. Installing modern tech into new construction is more cost-effective than integrating them into an old home.
Long Term Savings
Buying old and building new often carry a similar price tag. When you consider long term maintenance, you’ll realize that caring for a new home is easier and costs less than caring for an old home. With new construction, you don’t have to worry about replacing the roof, windows, or HVAC system anytime soon. And if something does need to be serviced, it will likely be under warranty. You don’t have to worry about deep cleaning prior to move in either because everything will be new, not used.
