There are numerous advantages to purchasing a new home instead of renting or purchasing a resale home. For many home buyers, the choice between a resale home and a brand new home is easy: new homes offer a whole range of advantages that are simply not available in a resale property. Here are some of the reasons that have convinced others to buy a new home.
1. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GETTING.
With a new home, there are no surprises when you move in. You know how the house was built and which materials went into it; you have seen what is hidden behind the walls. You also know exactly how to operate and maintain your home’s systems and equipment. If you have questions later, your builder will be there to give you helpful and accurate answers.
2. YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT.
Why live with other people’s taste in interior decoration? Or spend the next few years redoing the previous owner’s home improvements when you can get what you want from the very start? From the layout to cabinets to carpeting, new home builders offer a wide selection of standard and up-grade options. You can pick and choose features that suit your own lifestyle, personality and budget.
3. HIGH-QUALITY CONSTRUCTION.
The technology of home building has improved tremendously over the past few decades and new homes are built better than ever before. They are solidly constructed and well designed for today’s lifestyles. They are highly energy efficient, with excellent indoor air quality. From heating systems to roofing shingles and windows, today’s building products work better; last longer and often look better. The result is a brand new home that is far more comfortable, healthier, easier to maintain and more enjoyable to live in.
4. YOU KNOW THE BUILDER.
In the end, the quality of your home depends on the quality of your builder. When you buy a new home, you also buy the company’s reputation in the community, its track record with past clients and its commitment to customers. That adds up to extra confidence and reassurance that you will be more that happy with your new home.
5. WELL-DESIGNED COMMUNITIES.
New developments are designed to foster a spirit of neighbourliness by carefully balancing private and public areas. Increasingly, verandahs and porches present an open and welcoming façade towards the street while garages offer convenient access to the house. These developments are attracting a lot of interest from builders and consumers.
6. WARRANTY.
Resale homes simply do not come with a comprehensive warranty. If something goes wrong, you have to deal with it, when it occurs, no matter what the cost. Buying a new home, on the other hand offers peace of mind. Professional builders stand behind their work with an after-sales service program and you also have the protection of the Tarion Warranty Corporation.
7. YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR HOUSING COSTS WILL BE.
This allows you to budget properly and with confidence – great news for first-time buyers. With today’s low interest rates and competitive housing prices, home ownership need not cost any more than you spend on rent. With approval from your lender and mortgage insurance company you can become a homeowner with financing of 100% of the new home value. You may need to borrow for the deposit, which can be paid off from your mortgage proceeds on closing. The use of RRSP savings (up to $20,000. per individual or $40,000. per couple) can further help to make home ownership a reality a lot sooner than you may have thought possible. In Ontario currently if you are a first time home purchaser and you are purchasing a new home that has never been occupied you may obtain a credit of up to $2,000. of the Land Transfer Tax.
When you buy new from a professional builder, you are in control. You know what you get, and you will get what you want. You also know what it will cost, today and in the future.
