New Home Or Resale Home Comparison

Do You Want To Customize Your New Home?
Do You Want An Existing Home In An Established Community?

As your Buyer Agent, I can help you buy a new home or a resale. Moreover, over 80 percent of new home buyers have a Buyer Agent by their side to guide them, and help them handle "misunderstandings" with the builder.

There are two types of home buyers, those who prefer new homes and those who prefer resale homes. See which type is more your style by comparing the benefits of new vs. resale.

Benefits of a resale home to you:

* Established neighborhood, without bulldozers and work crews building other homes around yours.
* Upgrades the owners have added to the home that go beyond what a builder might do, such as a home theater.
* Maturing trees and shrubs that frame your home with greenery.
* A deck or patio already in place, ready for you to use in summer months.
* Shades and blinds in the windows so you don't have to cover windows with sheets and towels as with a new home.
* The previous owner may leave a nice shed, plus storage shelves in the basement where you can put your stuff.
* Friendly neighbors who can give you tips and advice about the area.

  
Benefits of a new home to you:

* You get to choose your home site (lot) according to your preferences.
* You get to choose your options that customize your home with special features that fit your lifestyle.
* You get a 10-year structural warranty, and a one-year "bumper to bumper" warranty that guarantees workmanship.
* You get that new home smell.
* You get the excitement of watching your home being built from the footers, all the way to occupancy.
* You're appliances and heat/ac systems will be be highly efficient systems.
* You get to custom design your deck or patio with a qualified deck/patio contractor.
* You'll have fun getting to know your neighbors when they come out to see progress on their homes.

You need to know that builders have ten (10) profit centers where they use your lack of knowledge of the process to squeeze more money out of you.  An experienced Buyer Agent like me can help you avoid builder options that you can have done by a qualified contractor, for significantly less cost, after you move into your new home.

Neither choice is right or wrong.

You get to choose the option that fits your own needs.... resale vs new home.

I have helped over 2,000 folks buy or sell a home, and among them are hundreds of buyers whom I represented buying new homes.  

Roughly half of my wife's family is involved in some aspect of new homes and construction. So I get insider information about the home builders in our market that I can use as your Buyer Agent to maximize your buying power. 

In fact, my wife is a new homes sales manager for a large regional builder, so I get the inside scoop on what builders are willing to do to sell a home.
